Capabilities in Gas and Oil Gear and Spline Manufacturing

Gas and Oil Gears and Splines

We produce high-performance gears, splines, and other components for various applications within the gas and oil industry, including drilling rigs, pumps, compressors, pipelines, oil rig cranes, and winches. Each component is designed to withstand the extreme pressures, high temperatures, and demanding conditions typical of gas and oil operations, ensuring optimal performance and long-term durability.

Other Gas and Oil Components

In addition to gears and splines, we manufacture and refurbish a wide range of critical components such as shafts, couplings, bearings, and seals, ensuring that all parts contribute to the efficient operation of your machinery. Whether it’s for drilling equipment or production systems, we offer reliable components designed to meet the specific needs of the gas and oil sector.

Gearbox and Winch Refurbishment for Offshore Cranes

In offshore drilling operations, oil rig cranes are crucial for lifting and hoisting heavy loads. We specialize in gearbox and winch refurbishment for offshore cranes, ensuring they operate efficiently and reliably in harsh offshore conditions. Our services include:

  • Complete Gearbox Refurbishment – Full inspection and repair of gearboxes to restore them to factory specifications, ensuring enhanced durability and performance.
  • Winch Refurbishment – Restoration of winches used in offshore cranes, including reconditioning gears, replacing worn parts, and improving lubrication systems for longevity and reduced maintenance needs.
  • Emergency Repairs – Rapid response to minimize downtime and restore equipment functionality as quickly as possible.
  • Precision Testing – Thorough testing to ensure all refurbished components meet rigorous standards and perform optimally in demanding offshore environments.

Oil Rig Crane Support

Our expertise extends to the critical components used in oil rig cranes. We provide precision gears and splines to ensure the reliable operation of cranes used for lifting and hoisting heavy loads in offshore drilling operations. We also offer refurbishment services to help extend the lifespan and maintain peak performance for these vital pieces of equipment.

Commitment to ISO 9001 Quality Control

As an ISO 9001-certified manufacturer, we adhere to strict quality management processes throughout production. This ensures that all our gears, splines, and refurbished units meet industry-specific standards, providing superior performance and reliability when it matters most in gas and oil operations.

Key Gas and Oil Gear and Spline Types

  • Spur Gears – Ideal for applications requiring efficient power transmission between parallel shafts.
  • Helical Gears – Designed for smooth, quiet operation in high-speed, heavy-load applications commonly used in gas and oil machinery.
  • Bevel Gears – Essential for transmitting power between shafts set at various angles, crucial for complex drilling and pipeline systems.
  • Worm Gears – Compact and efficient, perfect for tight spaces requiring high torque and minimal maintenance in gas and oil equipment.
  • Planetary Gears – Used in high-efficiency, lightweight power transmission systems for drilling rigs, pumps, and winches.
  • Splines – Vital for transferring torque between connected components, ensuring secure and reliable connections for critical gas and oil systems, such as pumps, valves, cranes, and machinery.

Materials Tailored for Gas and Oil Durability

Our gears and splines are crafted from advanced, high-performance materials like stainless steel, titanium, and hardened alloys. These materials are selected to endure the harsh conditions found in the gas and oil industry, including high pressure, extreme temperatures, and constant mechanical stresses.

Precision Manufacturing for Critical Applications

With over 40 years of experience, we utilise precise manufacturing techniques in gear cutting, spline production, and finishing to meet the strictest tolerances. Every part is designed to endure the unique stresses of gas and oil operations, ensuring reliable performance and durability in the field.
