Spindle Repair Process
1. Evaluation
Spindles for rework are received and logged into Jevco's repair database. Each spindle is assigned an transport bin and tracked throughout the repair.
Each spindle is disassembled into its major components and all critical features and tolerances are inspected for damage or wear.
 
An estimate for the cost of the repair, including services and parts, is generated and sent to the customer for approval prior to any work being performed.
       
4. Testing
After balancing and reassembly, vibration is measured and recorded.
High-speed dynamic run out is measured and recorded.
All information, including amp draw, coolant flow, air usage, static run out and dynamic run out is recorded.







3. Balancing
The heart of a quality repair is a well balanced shaft.
All armature shafts are balanced to less then .5mg/inch. on our German built Schenk balancing machine.








2. Repair
New replacement parts are installed per OEM specifications.
All spindle components are thoroughly cleaned and reassembled.
Collet taper is reground if total indicated runout exceeds .00005".
Complete replacement of all O-Rings and Seals
       
5. Shipping







After a spindle has been repaired to original equipment specifications, a service report is generated.
The spindle is returned to the customer in a custom designed, protective package with its service report.
Spindle repair history from Jevco's database is always available to the customer.
Repairs are warranted for material and workmanship.
Turn around time is typically 1 week from customer approval.

Staff
Taper Grinding
Jevco has eight full time technicians and the support of two manufacturing plants to service your spindles. 
A dedicated inside diameter grinding machine is configured specifically to grind shaft tapers,
which ensures a collet is drawn into the end of a shaft, and seated concentric to the axis of rotation.
Balancing A
Our balancing machine utilizes air bearings to properly balance a Westwind armature shaft, and ABEC 7 High speed instrument bearings to balance conventional ball bearing shafts to measurements reading into micro grams allow correction to exceed new O.E.M specifications.
Balancing B
The polar indication is presented to the operator on two vectrometers as well as the exact digital indication.
-Imbalance measurement range:
-1:2,000,000.
-Imbalance tolerance:
Air Bearing Spindles – Less then .5 mg
Ball Bearing Spindles – Less then 1.0 mg -Balancing speed range:
-120... 100,000 rpm
 
Vibration Testing
Our Vibrotest 60 following measurement functions:
Absolute bearing vibrations
Relative shaft vibrations
Bearing Conditions Unit measurements (BCU)
Temperature
Process values
  Overall vibration / BCU
Air Bearing Spindles – Less then .4 mm/s rms
Ball Bearing Spindles – Less then 1.2 mm/s rms
Runout Testing
The Targa II system is used to measure and display the Total Indicated Runout and RPM of high speed spindles during the testing phase of your repair. By understanding the relationship between runout and RPM you can be assured of the optimal performance of your spindle at all operating speeds.

Total indicated Runout Testing
Air Bearing Spindles – 8 µ meters (with most being less then 6 µ meters)
Ball Bearing Spindles – 12 µ meters
