Parts & materials
Typical parts, materials and what we hold.
Typical grades for guidance. We always follow the material on your drawing.
| Component | Function | Typical materials | Critical features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pins | Pivots in brake rigging, links and suspension | EN8, EN19, case-hardening steels | Diameter, hardness where specified, finish |
| Bushes & sleeves | Wear surfaces at pivots and joints | EN8, EN353, bronze as specified | Bore and outside diameter fits, concentricity |
| Brackets & housings | Mount and locate equipment | Forged or cast steel | Face flatness, hole positions |
| Shafts | Drives on maintenance machines and auxiliaries | EN19, EN24 | Journal sizes, straightness, keyways |
| Bearing housings | Support rotating shafts | SG iron, cast steel | Bore size and position |
Industry note
Indian Railways inspection
Items for Indian Railways are usually bought against approved drawings and specifications, with inspection by RDSO, RITES or the purchaser's own agency. Mention the specification, drawing revision and inspecting agency in your enquiry so we can plan for it.
What matters
What railway buyers expect from a part.
01
Fatigue life
Parts see millions of load cycles. Material, forging and the finish at every fillet decide how long they last.
02
Batch-to-batch consistency
Spares must be interchangeable across batches and years, so dimensions have to repeat exactly.
03
Documentation
Inspection records tied to each batch, so every part can be traced back to how it was made.
Manufacturing route
From drawing to dispatch.
01
Drawing review
Material, tolerances, quantities and inspection needs checked up front.
02
Blank
Forging, bar or plate, chosen for the strength and size the part needs.
03
Rough machining
Stock removed with allowance left for the final operations.
04
Heat treatment
Hardening, normalising or case hardening, where the drawing specifies it.
05
Finish machining
Bores, journals, faces, keyways, splines and threads brought to final size.
06
Assembly, inspection & dispatch
Assembled if required, checked against the drawing, protected and packed.
Quality
What we check on railway parts.
- Dimensions to drawingEvery critical size checked against the approved drawing and revision.
- HardnessPins and bushes checked where hardness is specified.
- Batch recordsInspection results kept against each batch for traceability.
- Visual and finishSurface condition and protection checked before packing.
FAQ
Common questions.
Can you make parts to RDSO or customer drawings?
Yes. We manufacture to the drawing and specification you send. Tell us the drawing number, revision and inspecting agency.
How do you keep batches consistent?
Fixtures, automation and inspection against the drawing keep dimensions repeatable from batch to batch.
Which materials are typical for railway parts?
Pins and shafts commonly use EN8, EN19 or EN24, and wear parts case-hardening steels such as EN353. We follow the grade on your drawing.
