Press Rebuild and Repair Services by Rygate LLC

At Rygate LLC, we specialize in comprehensive press rebuilds, component repairs, and system upgrades that restore your machinery to peak performance. Every rebuild is handled by experienced technicians using precision processes to ensure long-term reliability and safe operation.

Clutch and Brake Assembly Rebuilds

Our clutch and brake rebuilds include new liners, packings, springs, and seals, along with precision remachining of clutch and brake plates. Each assembly is reassembled and thoroughly tested for leaks and proper function before returning to service.

Counterbalance Rebuilds

We rebuild counterbalance systems to ensure consistent press motion and proper tonnage balance. Services include installing new packings, seals, and guide bushings; polishing rods; honing cylinders; and performing air tests to confirm leak-free performance.

Complete Crown Assembly Rebuilds

Rygate’s crown assembly rebuilds include full disassembly, crank and eccentric removal, and detailed inspection for wear or cracking. All shafts, bores, and bushings are measured for dimensional accuracy, with replacements made where clearances exceed .001” per inch of diameter. After reassembly, all bushings are fitted and heat-checked during extended operational testing to ensure proper performance under load.

Complete Slide Assembly Rebuilds

Our slide rebuild process includes full removal and disassembly of the slide, inspection for cracks and wear, and repair or replacement of wrist pins, bushings, and knuckle components as needed. We machine wear surfaces for precision, check and repair adjustment mechanisms, and test operation to verify smooth, accurate slide motion.

Refurbished Presses

Press Refurbishment & Rebuild Services

At Rygate LLC, we do more than buy and sell used metal stamping presses — we refurbish, rebuild, and upgrade mechanical presses to restore them to peak performance. With decades of combined experience in press rebuilds, component repairs, and control upgrades, our team ensures every press we service runs safely, efficiently, and reliably for years to come.

Every press that enters our Livonia, Michigan facility undergoes a complete inspection and evaluation. Our technicians document the condition of key components — including the crown, slide, clutch/brake assembly, and counterbalance systems — identifying wear, cracks, or out-of-tolerance dimensions that affect performance or safety.

Depending on customer needs, Rygate can perform anything from a basic inspection and service to a complete mechanical and electrical rebuild.

Our Press Refurbishment Services Include:

  • Clutch & Brake Assembly Rebuilds: New liners, packings, springs, seals, and precision remachining of plates to ensure reliable operation.
  • Counterbalance Rebuilds: Replacement of seals, packings, and bushings; honing cylinders; polishing rods; and testing for proper balance and air tightness.
  • Crown Assembly Rebuilds: Full disassembly, crank and eccentric removal, dimensional checks, bore inspections, bushing replacements, and reassembly with precision fit and clearance verification.
  • Slide Assembly Rebuilds: Complete teardown, crack inspections, wrist pin and knuckle bushing replacement, surface machining, and reassembly for smooth, accurate motion.
  • Lubrication & Air System Overhauls: Replacement of lube pumps, motors, and manifolds; testing of lines; and full verification of flow to every lubrication point.

Our process ensures that every refurbished press is production-ready, safe, and efficient — giving our customers a like-new machine at a fraction of the cost of buying new.

After the rebuild, each press is tested under power, with all operating functions verified and documented before shipment or installation.

Whether you’re looking to extend the life of your existing press, rebuild a recently purchased unit, or prepare equipment for resale, Rygate LLC delivers dependable, cost-effective rebuild and refurbishment services built on honesty, quality, and experience.

Refurbished Feed Equipment

Feed Equipment Refurbishment & Rebuild Services

At Rygate LLC, we do more than buy and sell used metal stamping presses — we also refurbish, rebuild, and upgrade feed equipment to ensure it operates at peak efficiency for years to come. Our team has decades of combined experience working with coil feed lines, including decoilers, straighteners, servo roll feeds, and coil handling systems from leading OEMs.

Every feed line that enters our Livonia, Michigan facility undergoes a thorough inspection and evaluation process. Our technicians assess all major components — from rolls and bearings to gearboxes, electrical controls, and hydraulics — identifying what needs repair, replacement, or recalibration.

Depending on the customer’s needs, we can perform anything from a basic cleaning and function test to a complete mechanical and electrical rebuild. Common services include:

  • Regrinding or replacing feed rolls and straightener rolls
  • Rebuilding gearboxes, clutches, and brakes
  • Installing new bearings, bushings, and drive belts
  • Upgrading feed controls and drive systems for improved accuracy and synchronization
  • Repainting, rebranding, and full cosmetic restoration to like-new condition
  • Integrating modern servo control systems for faster, more precise coil feeding

After refurbishment, each piece of feed equipment is tested under power and verified for performance, alignment, and accuracy before it leaves our facility. Our goal is to provide customers with production-ready feed systems that integrate seamlessly with their mechanical stamping presses — all at a fraction of the cost of new equipment.

Whether you need to upgrade an existing feed line, refurbish a used system, or match feed equipment to a press you’re purchasing, Rygate LLC delivers dependable, cost-effective solutions built on honesty, experience, and quality workmanship.
