    Surface Grinding Spindle

    This spindle was manufactured by the Pope corporation with a unique style roller bearing in the front of the spindle. The bearing is no longer manufactured as a production run part. Post production modified bearings are available but the quality is not always as it needs to be for a spindle application. To complete this repair we modified the shaft and housing to accept standard angular contact bearings. This makes the spindle replacement parts off the shelf items reducing the cost of the next repair and insures that the quality of the bearings are spindle grade. These modifications can be performed in our in house machining department and our in house grinding department.

    This is a standard surface grinding spindle made by the Pope corp. We have fixed hundreds of spindles like this one and can hold micron tolerances if needed for die work and other high tolerance manufacturing. We also can incorporate updated seal designs for additional contamination protection.

    Grinding spindle
    This spindle needed fresh bearings and kiss grinds to both tapers to bring it back to optimum performance levels. We were able to repair this spindle in less than two days for our customer because we have our on site grinding department with two Kellenburger ID/OD grinders. We do not grind spindles in assembly like a lot of our competition. That is a sure sign of poor workmanship being hidden by poor repair practices.
