Contour inductors
Precisely matched to the part geometry, for an accurate and reproducible heating pattern.
Inductor Repair
Inductor Repair
Refurbishment and a cost-effective alternative to the OEM.
INDUGO helps companies repair defective inductors cost-effectively, restore them properly from a technical standpoint, or reproduce them when a repair is no longer worthwhile — as a faster, more affordable alternative to going through the original manufacturer.
Types
What types of inductors does INDUGO repair?
Bell inductors
Enclose shaft ends and journals in a bell shape for even heating all the way around the part.
External inductors
For shafts, rings and other rotationally symmetric parts with an external contour.
Multi-turn and single-loop inductors
Variable winding configurations, matched to the respective process requirements.
Special inductors (e.g. for axle journals)
Custom one-off designs for special parts and applications – such as axle journals.
Soldering inductors
Compact inductor for precise, locally confined heating of solder joints, for reproducible, clean and process-reliable solder connections.
Tripod inductors
Complex, high-precision inductor for targeted heating of the three tripod raceways.
At a glance
When is a repair possible?
Typical repairable damage includes:
- Cracks at brazed joints
- Leaks in the cooling circuit
- Bent or deformed conductor areas
- Wear at connections and contacts
- Damaged insulation
- Deposits or restrictions in water-carrying areas
- Local short circuits or winding damage
Tip
When is a rebuild the better solution?
A partial or complete rebuild makes more sense when the structure is severely deformed, several conductor sections would need renewing, the cooling structure is no longer reliable, or the original geometry can no longer be reproduced.

Inductor Repair
Why good inductor geometry matters
Shape, spacing, conductor cross-section, and cooling all influence how fast heating occurs, how even the hardness pattern is, how clean solder joints turn out, how much energy is required, how long the inductor lasts, and how reproducible the process is overall.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ on inductor repair
Can inductors really be repaired?
Yes. Many inductors can be repaired or restored — for example in the case of cracks, leaks, damaged connections, or localized geometry damage.
Does a defective inductor always need to be completely rebuilt?
No. A complete rebuild only makes sense when a repair is no longer technically or economically viable.
Does INDUGO also repair inductors from other manufacturers?
Yes, our approach is manufacturer-independent. Third-party inductors can also be assessed, restored, or reconstructed.
What does an inductor repair cost?
That depends on the design, damage, and effort involved. In many cases, the solution is significantly cheaper than an OEM replacement or manufacturer repair.
How quickly can a repair be completed?
That can't be stated generally — it depends on the defect, complexity, and material availability. As a rule, we ship the repaired inductor within a few business days.
Is a repair possible for older inductors too?
Yes, manufacturer-independent repair or reconstruction is often especially valuable for older or discontinued designs.
