climax machining logo

The Brunson Optical Alignment Systems are a simple and accurate way to align many CLIMAX machines. One model is made specifically for use with the CLIMAX BB5000 Line Boring machine, to align 2.25 inch bearings over distances from 2 to 30 ft (609.6 – 9144 mm). It can also be used to align multiple bearings over long distances. This allows compensation for bar sag when using a long bar, or eliminating a long bar while still maintaining bores in perfect alignment.

The Brunson model 545 and 810 models can be used to precisely align many other CLIMAX models in the field.

climax machining logo

We offer a wide variety of rugged and innovative portable flange facers for 1 to 120 inch (25 to 3050 mm) diameters, for ID or OD mounting. Several of our machines can be configured for facing, milling or both, and many of our models reface, mill, bevel, square, counterbore, or cut end-prep configurations for welding. For easy setup, smaller units use an integral mandrel to quickly lock into place, while the larger units can be installed with a separate mount or chuck to which the facer body is installed.

For about the same cost as machining a keyway off-site, you can purchase a CLIMAX Key Mill. These two-axis and three-axis mills cut keyways, slots, pockets, or flats on shaft diameters of 1.5 to 24 inches (38 to 610 mm). They can be operated in any position, thanks to their sealed gear box lubrication.

Our portable lathes can pay for themselves on their first job whether it’s cutting O-ring grooves, repairing turbine spindles, or fixing an out-of-round gear seat area on the shaft of a high-speed production machine. Our lathes bolt on the end of a shaft to re-turn shafts, and roll journals from 1.5 inches to 24 inches (38 to 610 mm). Some models can work in areas as tight as 7 inches (177.8 mm) of radial clearance. Pneumatic power is standard, with optional electric power available on several models.

Our line boring machines support boring diameters from 1.375 to 80 inches (35 to 2030 mm), with the precision and speed of stationary machines. Specially designed mounting brackets, spherical bearings, self-centering setup cones, and movable rotational drive and feed units simplify setup and allow the tools to work in spaces too tight for most line boring machines. All models feature rugged rotational drive and axial feed systems, precision bars and heavy duty bearings, with electric, pneumatic and hydraulic options.
