Customer brought in a spindle stud shaft from logging equipment with the threads completely wiped out. We built the damaged area back up with weld, turned it back to size, and single-point threaded it to match the original TAN 17-12 bearing lock nut.

A lot of measuring, test fitting, and sneaking up on dimensions to get the fit right on a repair like this. Saved the original component and got it ready to go back to work instead of replacing the entire shaft assembly.

Modified V-Trough assembly completed and headed back to the customer.

The original design used angled cylinders mounted between the base and trough with captured oval guide slots. The updated version was redesigned per customer request to use vertically mounted cylinders and open-top guide slots. The main goal of the modification was to allow the V-trough assembly to be removed from the base for maintenance and AR500 wear plate replacement without disassembling the entire unit.

To accommodate the new configuration, we machined and installed custom threaded rod/clevis assemblies with pivoting wear plates to allow the cylinders to follow the trough movement while reducing side loading on the rods.

Always appreciate customers bringing us unique rebuild and redesign projects like this one.

Had a great time at Career Day at Heath Springs Elementary today!

The students got to learn a little about manufacturing and machining, watch a 3D printer in action, see examples of real machined parts, and ask questions about how things are designed and made.

It’s always exciting to see kids interested in technology, engineering, and hands-on careers. Thanks to Heath Springs Elementary for having us again this year!
