Automatic Bore & Shaft Welding
Precision Restoration for Heavy Engineering Components
Rotating machinery relies on precision-engineered bores and shafts to accommodate bearings, seals, and couplings. Over time, these critical components inevitably experience wear due to bearing failure, product ingress, inadequate lubrication, or extended operational use. Worn bores and shafts can lead to misalignment, vibration, reduced efficiency, and premature component failure, resulting in costly downtime.
Automatic welding is a highly effective method to restore both bores and shafts to their original specifications while maintaining structural integrity, ensuring equipment operates reliably in demanding industrial environments.
Technical Overview & Benefits
At Benroc, we utilise the latest automatic welding technology, combined with precision machining, to deliver consistent, high-quality repairs for both bores and shafts. Our integrated process ensures minimal downtime and maximum reliability.
Automatic Bore Welding:
- Uniform weld deposition for repeatable results
- Controlled heat input to minimise distortion.
- Enhanced machinability for precision tolerance restoration
- Access to restricted or confined bores
- Seamless integration with in-line boring for efficient workflow
Automatic Shaft Welding:
- Rebuilds worn shafts to exact diameters and specifications.
- Minimises stress concentrations through controlled heat input.
- Suitable for shafts in pumps, compressors, gearboxes, and mining equipment
- Extends component life without compromising mechanical integrity.
Combined, these services ensure complete restoration of critical rotating components, extending operational life and reducing the risk of future failures.
