Comprehensive Spindle Repair Services

Accurate Diagnosis and Evaluation

Every spindle repair begins with a thorough evaluation to determine the root cause of performance issues. Using advanced diagnostic tools, Gilman technicians inspect bearings, housings, lubrication systems, and balance conditions to identify problems accurately. This detailed analysis ensures that repairs address not just symptoms but the underlying issues affecting spindle performance.

Precision Bearing Replacement

Damaged or worn bearings are one of the most common causes of spindle failure. Gilman’s spindle repair services include high-precision bearing replacement with premium-grade components that restore smooth rotation, reduce vibration, and improve machining accuracy.

Balancing and Alignment for Smooth Operation

Unbalanced spindles can lead to excessive vibration, poor surface finishes, and premature wear. During the spindle repair process, Gilman performs dynamic balancing and precise alignment to ensure the spindle operates smoothly at its intended speeds.

Spindle Rebuild Services for Extended Life

Complete Disassembly and Cleaning

A spindle rebuild involves complete disassembly of the spindle assembly. All components are carefully cleaned, inspected, and measured for wear. This process ensures that every part of the spindle is evaluated before reassembly.

Replacement of Worn Components

Gilman’s spindle rebuild services include replacing all worn or damaged parts, such as bearings, seals, and lubrication systems. Critical surfaces are refinished or re-machined to restore original specifications.

Precision Assembly and Testing

After reassembly, the rebuilt spindle undergoes precision alignment and extensive testing, including vibration analysis and runout measurement, to verify that it meets or exceeds original factory performance standards.

Spindle Refurbish Services for Cost-Effective Maintenance

Restore Performance Without Full Rebuild

For spindles that are still structurally sound but need performance improvements, spindle refurbish services provide a cost-effective solution. Refurbishing typically includes bearing replacement, cleaning, lubrication updates, and balancing to bring the spindle back to reliable operation.

Minimize Downtime with Quick Turnaround

Spindle refurbishing is faster than a full rebuild, reducing downtime while still improving spindle accuracy and performance. This service is ideal for preventive maintenance programs that keep your equipment running efficiently.

Benefits of Spindle Repair, Rebuild, and Refurbish Services

Reduce Replacement Costs

Repairing or rebuilding a spindle is significantly more cost-effective than purchasing a new spindle. Gilman’s services help you extend the life of your existing spindle while maintaining high performance.

Minimize Machine Downtime

Quick, reliable spindle repair services reduce production interruptions. Gilman’s efficient turnaround times help manufacturers get back to full operation faster, saving valuable time and resources.

Improve Machining Accuracy

A properly repaired or rebuilt spindle reduces vibration, improves balance, and restores original precision. This leads to better surface finishes, tighter tolerances, and improved overall machining quality.

Extend Equipment Life

Regular spindle refurbish and rebuild services prevent catastrophic failures and extend the lifespan of your CNC machines and other equipment, improving long-term return on investment.
