Driveshaft Straightening and Repairs
Industrial driveshafts are often oversized and custom manufactured. When components wear out or become damaged, it may be more cost and time-effective to repair the issue.
Driveline offers comprehensive driveshaft straightening and repair services. We operate cutting-edge computer-controlled equipment that allows us to repair, straighten and balance industrial driveshafts. Our balancing equipment is suitable for large-scale driveshafts used in industrial, rail and marine applications, so we can return any shaft to its original specification.
For driveshafts that are worn, damaged or rusted, we also offer metal reclamation to repair crucial surfaces. Our low-temperature metal reclamation process can rebuild surface material without the need to temper and heat treat driveshafts, splines and bearing races.
We also have access to the latest manufacturing equipment. This pairs with our metal reclamation service and allows us to repair and remanufacture driveshafts to their original specification.
G16 Balancing for Industrial Driveshafts
Imperfections in drivetrain components can seriously impact performance, efficiency and equipment lifespan. To ensure you’re always up and running, Driveline offers industrial balancing services for small and large-scale driveshafts and components as well as specialised servicing for shock absorbers replacement.
Driveline operates industrial balancing equipment with a maximum swing diameter of 2.1 metres. This allows us to accurately identify imperfections and damage in oversized shafts. Once we know what the problem is, we can repair the issue and return your driveshaft to original specifications.
Our industrial balancing service is rated for a grade of up to G16. This is ideal for heavy-duty and industrial applications that don’t require ultra-fine tolerances. Our workshops carry out G16 balancing to repair, verify and maintain shafts for all industrial, rail and marine equipment.
