This image shows a disassembled live tool or spindle ready for inspection. The make and part number are not legible in the photo, so we list it as unknown. Ekstrom Carlson is only repairing this item.
**What the photo shows**
The centerpiece is the stepped spindle shaft standing upright. Several bearings and bearing races are laid out nearby. You can also see snap rings, seals, and small black mounting screws. A rectangular housing block with four bolt holes sits to the right. The parts rest on a shop towel on a yellow workbench.
**Condition clues and likely service needs**
Visible wear exists on some bearing surfaces and seals. The layout suggests a full bearing replacement and reseal. We would inspect the shaft journal, bearing fits, and the housing for damage. Precision bearings and seals are common wear items in these assemblies.
**Why Ekstrom Carlson is the right choice**
Ekstrom Carlson specializes in live tool and spindle repair. We replace bearings, seals, and worn components. We also offer precision balancing and testing after reassembly. Ekstrom Carlson manufactures motors, custom tools, and carbide router bits too.
**What we will do during the repair**
We will clean every part and inspect under magnification. We will measure runout and bearing clearances. Worn bearings and seals will be replaced. After reassembly we will test spin, balance, and check lubrication paths.
**Fast facts for owners and plant managers**
Spindle and live tool failures often stem from contaminated coolant, improper lubrication, or heavy loads. Regular maintenance extends service life. Replace bearings early to avoid secondary damage.
