Thoughts, updates, and practical insights from our latest work and ideas.
A bush that will not press in without galling the bore or shaving its own outside diameter is a bush that should be shrunk in. Liquid nitrogen is the cool side of that job. What shrink fitting is A bush and bore interference fit relies on the bush being...
A worn bore rarely lets go in one shift. It goes oval, then tapered, then scored, and the pin starts working against a hole that is no longer round. By the time the bush is loose enough to move, a simple re-bush will not get the job done — there is too...
Lineboring is machining a bore back to a true circle and a true centreline while the component stays on the machine. No removal, no transport, no workshop queue. That is the whole idea. The rest is setup, cutting, welding and measuring. What is actually...
A bore that has lost metal cannot be machined back to size — there is nothing left to cut. It has to be built back up first. That is where bore welding is done on site it means the repair happens on the machine, in position, without a crane, a float or...
Every pin joint wears. The question that actually matters on the workshop floor is not whether a bore is worn, but whether it is worn enough to justify pulling the machine apart — or calling in a mobile lineboring crew. Get that call right and you save...
A worn bore rarely fails politely. It shows up as slop in the pin, a knock under load, or a machine that suddenly won't hold tolerance — usually on a shift when you need it most. At that point most crews face one decision: pull the component and send it...
