UVA LIDKÖPING has manufactured precision grinding machines in Sweden for over a century. The company produces high-frequency spindles in-house at its Swedish facility for bore and seat grinding applications. These spindles are built specifically for a range of demanding applications where precision and stability directly affect part quality.
Setco repairs and rebuilds LIDKÖPING spindles to meet original performance specifications.
See the difference quality makes. Our before and after photos show the care and precision that go into every LIDKÖPING spindle repair. From damaged or worn components to fully restored, like-new condition — we bring your spindle back to peak performance, helping you avoid costly downtime and get back to production faster.

Bore grinding, seat grinding, and similar precision operations require high-frequency spindles that maintain tight tolerances throughout each production run. These grinding spindles operate under extreme conditions, subjecting their internal components to significant stress. When the bearing preload changes or seals begin leaking, the grinding accuracy immediately starts to suffer.
Temperature increases during operation often indicate poor lubrication or bearing problems. Excessive vibration indicates worn bearings or damaged shafts that need replacement. Grinding wheel chatter and poor surface finishes typically signal bearing wear, imbalance, or instability.
Addressing these warning signs quickly helps maintain production quality and minimize production downtime.
Setco has over a century of experience in the machine tool industry. Our technicians have worked on over 350 different spindle OEMs over the decades. When a LIDKÖPING spindle arrives with bearing failure, seal damage, or other issues, our team can quickly diagnose the problem and recommend the most practical repair or rebuild solution.
Shops can keep older LIDKÖPING machines running even when original parts are no longer available from Sweden. Our engineers can design replacement components in-house by reverse-engineering the original specs, even if a bearing housing or shaft is obsolete.
Our multiple service centers help minimize shipping costs and turnaround times. Each facility follows the same procedures, ensuring consistent quality for each repair job. We back every rebuild with industry-leading warranties and provide ongoing support for the life of the spindle.
Setco uses a proven, step-by-step approach to ensure every LIDKÖPING spindle repair is executed with quality and precision:
Technicians fully disassemble each spindle and clean all components. We inspect bearing races, housing bores, shaft journals, and seal surfaces for wear patterns and damage. This detailed examination enables us to identify the root cause of the failure, rather than just the symptoms.
Customers receive written quotes that break down required work and associated costs with no hidden fees or surprise charges.
Our technicians replace worn parts with high-quality components. Housings are machined as needed, shafts are reground and refinished with chrome or laser cladding, and new bearings and seals are installed.
Rebuilt spindles are precision-balanced and operate at full speed with thermal stabilization. Vibration measurements and performance data are recorded and stored by serial number. Testing continues until the spindle meets specifications at maximum rated speeds.
Each completed repair includes test results, parts lists, and warranty information. Spindles receive final inspection before shipping back to customers.
Spindle issues in grinding machines can lead to poor product quality, lost production time, equipment failure, and numerous other problems. Setco addresses these issues by repairing LIDKÖPING spindles with complete documentation and testing to verify performance. Contact us online or call today to start the repair process.
