Journal Refurbishment Without Shaft Rotation

In-Place Machining Company has perfected methods of refurbishing horizontal and vertical shafts without major disassembly, and without shaft rotation. Our planetary orbital equipment is designed for tight tolerance machining, grinding, and honing of all types of radial or axial shaft surfaces. In addition, we often guarantee size and concentricity to +/-.0005", with virtually no diameter limits. We also offer complete on-site lathes with capabilities in excess of 200 tons and up to an 18' diameter swing.

Our specialized journal repair equipment is designed to refurbish journals such as:

    Diesel engine crank-pins and main bearings
    Turbine, generator, motor and fan radial and thrust bearing journals
    Generator collector rings and hydrogen seals
    Ball mill and kiln ‘riding tires’, support rollers, and journals
    Trunion and other vessel journals
    Turbine and pump seal areas
    Tapered or straight dryer journals
