No More Line Boring
The Expander System, from Expander Americas, Inc. solves the problem of pivot wear in machinery and equipment. During use, wear accelerates and lug holes become oval. The Expander System’s sleeves expand and lock into the worn pivot lugs. When the fasteners are tightened, the pressure washers press the slotted sleeves down over the tapered ends of the pin axle and lock the system in the pivot lug for a permanent repair. www.ExpanderAmericas.com  Reader Service Card #8067
