Overview
In aerospace manufacturing, spindles are the components at the heart of engineering. Involved in the creation of parts that must withstand extreme conditions and meet rigorous safety standards, the role of a spindle is both critical and complex.
Spindles are essential for creating high-precision parts that need to withstand extreme conditions and must often meet International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) specifications, including:
- Turbine blades
- Landing gears
- Components for guided missiles
- Parts for commercial and military aircraft
- Parts for commercial and military aircraft
- And much more
Optimal spindle health is non-negotiable in aerospace applications, as one malfunction can lead to significant component failures.
Ensuring spindle performance is necessary to maintain the integrity and safety of aerospace parts.
NTE brings specialized expertise to aerospace spindle repair. We focus on meeting tight tolerances and maintaining spindle health, crucial for the aerospace industry’s demanding requirements.

Assembly & Delivery
- Upon arrival, we log every spindle into our production tracking software system. Any issues associated with transit are noted.
- Our technicians carefully break down the spindle into its component parts, note their general condition as well as specific damage and perform a full dimensional inspection to identify excessive wear.
- Our production manager performs a second evaluation, during which he/she will identify the mode of failure, consult with the head of our grinding and machining department and determine recommendations for future preventative meaxsures.
- Our purchasing department sources all replacement part costs, determines lead times and generates a quote.
- Our team gives the quote a final check and communicates it to the customer for approval.
- Following customer approval, we schedule production and order the parts needed.
- Once we receive the parts, we carefully clean them and complete any necessary grinding or machining operations.
- Our highly trained technicians assemble all spindle components and perform a rigorous break-in process. This may include dynamic balancing and thermal and vibration analysis.
- After our inspectors perform a final quality control check, our shipping department carefully boxes the spindle and returns it to the customer.
