Motion parts, bearings, bushes, etc.

As well as supplying fittings, etc. We can also offer a general engineering service. This includes anything from complete bearings and bushes , motion pins, shafts, and even complete connecting rod assemblies.

Bearings can be produced for crankshafts, axles, etc. Split bearings are made from solid cored bronze in SAE 660, or castings produced in PB102. The bearings are then machined, oil grooves chiselled in and then are scraped in by hand to give a perfect running fit on the shaft.
