In the realm of electric motor repairs, it is a common occurrence to encounter issues with the motor shaft, specifically the shaft bearing location. These repairs often involve the need to rebuild this critical area. The main culprit behind shaft wear is usually bearing failure. When a bearing fails, it succumbs to overheating, causing the inner race to expand and spin on the shaft, disrupting the smooth operation of the motor.

Unfortunately, this prolonged friction and spinning take their toll on the shaft, gradually wearing it down over time. The result is a shaft that has become several thousandths of an inch smaller than the dimensions required for a new bearing. It’s as if the once perfectly-matched partners have lost their synchronization.
