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.

What types of inductors does INDUGO repair?

Contour inductors

Precisely matched to the part geometry, for an accurate and reproducible heating pattern.

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.

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

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.

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.

Benefits of professional inductor repair with INDUGO

Cost reduction

Usually cheaper than repair or remanufacture by the original manufacturer.

Shorter downtime

Fast analysis noticeably reduces production outages.

Manufacturer independence

We also repair inductors from other manufacturers.

Cost-effective OEM alternative

Especially beneficial for older or discontinued designs.

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.
