Custom Mechanical Components
Custom mechanical components are one-of-a-kind or special parts designed for a specific machine or application, such as brackets, couplings, housings, adaptors, rollers and linkages. We arrange the best combination of machining, fabrication and finishing to make them to your design.
What it is
Custom parts do not come from a catalogue: they are made to a drawing, sample or description. Often they combine processes, for example a fabricated frame with machined mounting faces, or a turned part with a milled slot and a coating.
We help translate a requirement into a manufacturable part, suggesting materials, tolerances and processes that meet the function at a sensible cost.
Typical applications
- Special machine parts and attachments
- Adaptors and couplings between components
- Brackets, mounts and linkages
- Rollers, guides and wear parts
- Spare parts for imported or old machines
Suitable materials
- Steels and stainless steels
- Aluminium
- Brass and bronze
- Cast iron
- Engineering plastics
Points to consider
- Describe the function and loads if you don't have a full drawing; it helps choose material and tolerances.
- Critical interfaces (mounting holes, shaft sizes) matter more than cosmetic shapes.
- Standard materials and bought-out items (bearings, fasteners) keep cost down.
- For spares from samples, share photos of the part in position as well.
Frequently asked questions
Can you make a part without a drawing?
Yes. From a sample, photos or a dimensioned sketch we can confirm the design with you and manufacture it; a drawing can be prepared where needed.
Can you suggest the material?
Yes. Tell us how the part is used, loads, environment and quantity, and we will recommend suitable materials and processes.
Do you make spares for imported machines?
Yes. Spares for imported or obsolete machines are a common request, made from samples or drawings.
