Shaft repair procedures
Shaft repair at Jenkins
Electric is done exclusively with Submerged Arc Welding - the highest quality repair
method that eliminates the possible flaking and peeling problems of other lesser quality
repair techniques.
This special process involves welding new material on worn
shaft areas under tightly controlled conditions. As the shaft slowly turns in a lathe,
heat generated during welding is evenly distributed over the shaft surface. This heat
distribution provides the necessary "stress relief" to prevent warping or
distortion of the shaft itself.
Once the appropriate amount of buildup is achieved, the shaft is re-machined to
specification - providing the customer with a repaired shaft as good as new. Guaranteed!
This repair process is another example of our dedication to
use only those methods and materials providing the highest quality workmanship. We believe
that our long history of satisfied customers is proof of that commitment to quality.
