Shaft repair with epoxy

>>1085326
Can you use a torch on it? I would try to silver solder it before I tried an epoxy.

i don't think jbweld will hold up

normally they just turn it down and press fit a stainless sleeve on there

It's been said but I want to emphasise that the best solution is to turn down the diameter and install a sleeve. Gonna get more life from the shaft that way. Also, was there some sort of compound between the bearing and the shaft? I'm no metallurgist but to me that looks like some kind of corrosion. The fact it wasn't on the inner race of the bearing suggests to me it isn't wear. Possibly a chemical reacting with the shaft material which the bearing material was non reactive with.

That's kind of what I was guessing.

Well if you wanted to know what it was and not how to fix it you should of asked phamalam.

Its where the bearing and the shaft where shorting out on each other. Thousands of tiny lightning strikes..

Probaby been fixed or a new bearing was just slapped on there.. But to me that looks like arching from electricity.

Brass shim it and epoxy for a short repair or have it re metalled and turned for a long term fix

Possible. If the motor is driven by a variable frequency drive. Or if it's a wound rotor (universal motor, etc.) with insulation failure in the rotor winding.

Doubt it. Bearings are usually held on with more force then home outlets are usually wired with. Also, it's extremely common for people to spray harsh chemicals onto bearings. ALSO, this looks like pitting from hard water, but this is irrelevant, just like electrical pitting.
