When we receive a spindle, our technicians will disassemble it and clean the components. We’ll evaluate the spindle for failure to determine the origin of the failure.

We’ll examine the components to identify improper fit and size, damage, and wear. Some parts we’ll inspect include bushings, bearing journals, spacers, caps, shoulders, bore, and more.

After assessing the repair work required, we’ll send a firm price quote, free of charge and without obligation. When you approve the quote, we’ll start the work. If you decline the quote, we’ll return the spindle immediately.

We’ll replace or recondition the broken parts to OEM specifications to return the spindle to like-new operation. Our technicians can replace spindle bearings, check electrical parts, replace spindle seals, sleeve and machine housings, replace drawbar seals, and more.

After all components have been inspected, cleaned, and reworked, our technicians will reassemble the spindle, precision balance it, and complete a full run off under controlled conditions until it is thermally stabilized at maximum speed. We’ll store the baseline vibration and testing data electronically by serial number.

After our technicians have rebuilt the spindle and it has passed all testing, we’ll return it. Setco also provides full documentation, certification, and a written warranty.
