Lug wear is a common problem with all machinery. Repairs involve a costly, time-consuming process with significant downtime and must be repeated several times over a machine’s life.
With the Expander System, the repair can be carried out directly in the worn mountings without welding and line boring – a permanent solution to lug wear.
The expansion sleeves expand to conform to the wear patterns and lock the system into place. There is no need for time-consuming and expensive welding practices. Expander is a long-term solution and most repairs are done in the field to minimize your downtime
