Three cost-effective maintenance options for your BB5000 and BB4500

Three cost-effective maintenance options for your BB5000 and BB4500

CLIMAX Line Boring Machines are widely recognized for their durability and longevity, but maintaining the proper functionality of both units is crucial to sustaining reliability and performance. The Axial Feed Unit and Rotational Drive Unit for the CLIMAX BB5000 and BB4500 line boring machines required occasional preventative maintenance to ensure top performance, so your line boring machine is ready for every job.

Whether you’re getting ready for an important repair or want to restore your line boring machine to its original factory performance, several maintenance options are available for keeping your CLIMAX line boring machine operating at peak performance.

Here are three cost-conscious options:

OPTION 1: Trade out your damaged axial feed unit for a refurbished one by utilizing the CLIMAX Drive and Feed Unit Exchange and Refurbishment Program.

Under this program, the replacement unit is fully rebuilt by CLIMAX experts. All refurbished units are covered by a one-year warranty on parts and labor. Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Give us a call and let us know whether you need an Axial Feed Unit (AFU) or a Rotational Drive Unit (RDU).

Step 2: We will send you a performance-ready refurbished RDU or AFU, along with packaging and a shipping label for you to send your RDU or AFU back to us.

Step 3: Pack your RDU or AFU in the same packaging your refurbished unit was shipped in and return it to CLIMAX.

Step 4: Your improved and performance-ready RDU and AFU are ready for line boring machine jobs!

OPTION 2: Send your Axial Feed Unit or Rotational Drive Unit to CLIMAX for repair.

With this repair option, CLIMAX experts rebuild and repair your axial feed or rotational drive unit to ensure the machine runs smoothly and performs optimally. This is another cost-effective option compared to purchasing an entirely new unit.

OPTION 3: Request a service parts kit from CLIMAX and conduct repairs yourself.

This is an excellent option for our customers who are mechanically savvy and comfortable with their ability to disassemble and repair the tool themselves. Customers must know how the unit is disassembled, cleaned, greased, and rebuilt to ensure successful refurbishment. Customers can buy individual parts that need replacing or purchase one of two field service kits to help with the process.

The basic field service kit contains the parts most commonly needed to get your unit BACK in top operating condition. The complete field service kit includes everything you need to overhaul your tool fully.
