The Johnford CAT 50 spindle came in to our shop with a request from the customer to perform a rush repair. Once the spindle was disassembled, our spindle technicians inspected the spindle and noticed the front bearing set was burnt up. Our technicians concluded that the bearings were improperly mounted, which was the cause of the bearings failure. No chrome and Grind work was needed for this spindle, which aided in the speed of this repair. Once reassembled, the spindle was balanced and test run for four hours, to ensure the integrity of the spindles repair. The spindle was repaired and returned to the customer in less than 48 hours. We are confident that this spindle will continue to cut chips for a long time to come.
