Many clients choose to have an ongoing program for routine actuator refurbishment service. We typically refurbish and return actuators to our clients within two weeks, though rush services are routinely provided. If damaged or worn parts are discovered during refurbishment and replacement parts are required, pricing for these parts will be discussed with clients prior to installation. Replaced parts are returned with the refurbished actuator for owner review.
REFURBISHMENT BY EXCHANGE (RBE)
Georgia Western offers a unique
Refurbishment By Exchange (RBE) program for all SMB electric actuators. Our
unique program saves our clients valuable time and money as we are able to
build an identical actuator to replace an existing installed unit that requires
repair or refurbishment. With one trip to the existing installed unit, our
clients are able to remove the original unit and install the RBE unit. The
removed unit is returned to our shop for a standard disassemble and inspection
and associated parts billing for damaged parts are charged in addition to the
RBE fee. Many clients find this a safe and cost effective way to repair
critical actuators.
