Journal & Shaft Machining
Precision shaft machining, reducing your down time
On-site shaft machining is used to repair coupling diameters, bearing diameters and seal contact faces. Our versatile equipment can be adapted to suit any shaft or journal that requires machining. The shafts we machine do not have to rotate and can even have worn datums, our machines are fully portable and transportable to our customer’s sites anywhere in the world.
Our journal machining services can save you time and money by repairing your shafts on site. Our services can be essential when shafts are not easily removed, or it is not logistically possible. This can reduce machine downtime and save money on removal, installation, and transportation costs.
Depending on the situation we can change our shaft machining equipment between electric, hydraulic, or pneumatic. All our services are conducted on your site without removing the components.
