Lidköping Spindle Repair

Precision Solutions by Atlanta Precision Spindles

Expert Spindle Repair Services for Lidköping Grinding Machines

Lidköping grinding spindles — crafted by Swedish manufacturer UVA LIDKÖPING — are precision components at the heart of high-speed internal and external grinding machines designed for demanding industrial applications. These spindles deliver exceptional precision, high output, and reliability essential for producing tight tolerances and superior surface finishes in bearing, automotive, and aerospace machining.

When a Lidköping spindle fails or shows signs of wear, it can halt production and lead to costly downtime. That’s where Atlanta Precision Spindles steps in — providing industry-leading repairs that restore Lidköping spindles to optimal performance at a fraction of the cost and time of full replacements.


Lidköping Spindle Types We Repair

Lidköping machines use several specialized spindle configurations depending on the grinding application. Atlanta Precision Spindles has the expertise to service all common types:

● High-Frequency Grinding Spindles

Designed for internal or external grinding operations, these spindles operate at high speeds with extremely tight tolerances. They are engineered for precision and performance where accuracy and surface finish are critical.

● Work Head Spindles

Found in machines like the SSB 62, these direct-driven spindles support the workhead, enabling stable rotation and precise control during grinding cycles.

● Centerless Grinding Spindles

Used in centerless grinders such as the CL 630, these spindles support infeed or through-feed operations, where parts are ground without need for chucks or fixtures.

● High-Volume Grinding Spindles

Larger direct-driven grinding wheel spindles handle heavy-duty external grinding on medium to large workpieces, often with automatic balancing systems built into the spindle flange.

Common Spindle Failure Causes

Understanding why Lidköping spindles fail helps you avoid repeat issues and improve uptime. Some common causes include:

  • Bearing Wear & Contamination: Grinding environments create metal chips and coolant mist that can enter the spindle and accelerate bearing failure.

  • Overload & Improper Tooling: Using tooling that exceeds the spindle’s capacity causes excessive stress and premature wear.

  • Vibration & Misalignment: Excessive vibration from imbalance or worn machine components transfers to the spindle, damaging bearings and shafts.

  • Poor Lubrication & Thermal Issues: Insufficient or contaminated lubrication can lead to overheating and rapid deterioration of internal parts.

  • Installation & Handling Errors: Improper spindle removal, installation, or storage can introduce misalignment or physical damage.

Each of these issues can be detected early through performance monitoring — such as unusual vibration, noise, or loss of precision — and addressed before total failure.


Why Repair Your Lidköping Spindle With Atlanta Precision Spindles

When a spindle starts to fail, machine shops have two primary options: replace it or repair it. Here’s why most manufacturers choose to repair:

• Lower Cost Than Full Replacement

Replacing a Lidköping spindle through OEM channels can be expensive — often costing several times more than a repair. With Atlanta Precision Spindles, comprehensive rebuilds typically cost a fraction of the new spindle price while delivering like-new performance.

• Faster Turnaround

OEM repairs or new spindle orders may have long lead times due to global demand and factory schedules. Atlanta Precision Spindles focuses exclusively on rapid, precision spindle repairs, helping you minimize downtime and get machines back in production faster.

• Preserve Machine Alignment and Performance

A repaired spindle retains alignment with your existing machine system without the need for costly retrofits or calibration — often required when swapping in a new OEM unit.

• Sustainable and Cost-Effective

Repairing spindles extends the life of your existing assets and supports sustainability goals by reducing waste and the need for new spindle manufacturing.

• Root Cause Diagnostics

Atlanta Precision Spindles doesn’t just replace worn parts — our expert technicians perform detailed diagnostics to identify and correct the underlying cause of failure, reducing the risk of repeat issues.

• Quality Assurance

Every repaired spindle undergoes rigorous testing, balancing, and calibration to ensure it meets or exceeds original performance standards.


Our Repair Process — Precision at Every Step

  1. Comprehensive Inspection: Detailed evaluation of bearings, shafts, motors, and seals.

  2. Root Cause Identification: Determine what failed and why.

  3. Precision Rebuild: Replace worn or damaged parts with high-grade components.

  4. Dynamic Testing: Full-speed testing with vibration and temperature analysis.

  5. Final Verification: Complete quality checks before return shipment.

This structured approach ensures that your repaired Lidköping spindle performs reliably under production conditions.
