WW Components -- Pivot Repair
Many times copper pivots in a breaker will gall due to friction and abrasion (examples of such wear are indicated
by the red arrows in the image to the right.) There are several different techniques used by WW Components to
repair pivot areas depending on the severity of the wear. After the copper part has been restored to its original height, it is silver plated and
shipped back to the customer to be put back into service. For most pivots, repair is less expensive and less time consuming than trying to find a replacement. Use the contact
information at the bottom of this page to email a picture or send your damaged pivots in to determine if they can be repaired.
