An Overview Of Small Replacement Parts For Industrial Machinery
Threaded Products
When it comes to threaded replacement parts, a wide assortment is available, so you will need to know what product type, size, and style you’ll need when it’s time to repair your industrial equipment. Threaded spare parts include the following:
- Precision Lead Screws: At REMPCO, we manufacture these utilizing thread milling and grinding processes for increased accuracy and precision, as well as improved thread roundness. We want to point out that our lead screws require very little in the way of maintenance. They provide a large load-carrying capacity, and low-friction, wear-resistant coatings are available. These precision screws can be fabricated to your preferred length to meet your industrial needs. Available threads include acme, trapezoidal, square, V, and buttress.
- Lead Bars: Suitable for a wide range of applications, lead bars provide a high helix angle that’s ideal for high-speed linear transport systems and a number of control applications. You’ll find these parts in both single and multiple start threads. Leads come in both uniform and variable styles.
- Feed & Conveyor Shafts: These heavy-duty metal shafts will keep your conveyor and feed belts moving smoothly. Our threaded products come in stainless steel, high-impact plastics, and other corrosion-resistant materials for improved performance and longer operating durations.
- Levelwind Screws & Pawns: These parts are suitable for spooling operations. Our mechanical levelwinds can be adjusted to suit your industrial machinery requirements, adaptable to different cable sizes and spaces. These parts are especially useful in oilfield equipment, ships, and offshore platforms.
- Threaded Nuts: These versatile replacement parts come in a huge range of sizes and mounting options. They include flange, gear drive, and self-adjustable, to name a few. We manufacture threaded nuts in polymer and metal alloy materials for extra strength and durability.
- Lead Screw Refurbishing: You may be pleased to discover that REMPCO offers this service for existing parts. We offer emergency repair services and customized solutions; contact us for details.
Gears
Gears make the world go round … literally! At least they do in your industrial machinery. The right gear makes all the difference in terms of smooth operations and top performance of your equipment. Here’s a list of the external and internal gears that REMPCO offers as machinery replacement parts.
- Spur & Rack: Designed to transfer power or motion between shafts that are parallel to each other, these types of gears come in many versions, including rack, pinion, and internal. REMPCO’s gears ensure smooth operation and high efficiency; we can manufacture whatever type of spur and rack gear that you need, including spoked and webbed.
- Helical: While very similar to spur gears, helicals provide a number of advantages, including quieter operation and greater strength. Both right- and left-handed versions are available.
- Bevel & Miter: Produced from blanks following standards that are recognized internationally, bevel and miter gears are versatile parts cut from bronze, iron, alloy steel, or polymer materials. These gears are used primarily for transmitting motion.
- Worm: These gear sets are highly efficient and very cost effective. When you’re looking for the right solution for low- and medium-power applications that involve power transmission, worm gear sets are the way to go. Left- and right-hand sets are available; choose duplex worm gearing for more demanding applications.
Custom Products
Spur gears are so common and multiple in their uses that you can find them applied all over and constructed from an assortment of various materials, including plastics. However, strong metals that are easily fabricated and molded, but also durable and strong, are preferable in most cases.
