Reconditioning Service

Profile Gauge & Tool Ltd. offer a reconditioning service for the high value consumable parts such as pinion shafts, housings and taper sleeves. Where possible the parts are reconditioned back to the original drawing specification. This is a very cost effective solution which many of our clients have taken advantage of.

Innovation

Profile Gauge & Tool Ltd. are constantly striving to develop ways to save money both in down time and the manufacturing process. With the help of some of our clients we have developed a manufacturing process for taper sleeves that once in service the sleeve will out perform our competitors by 20/30 percent.

Over the years Profile Gauge & Tool Ltd. have gained a reputation for the supply of parts superior to those supplied by the original manufacturer. This has a direct effect of reducing costs to the mill.

New Parts Manufacture Range

Profile Gauge & Tool Ltd. typically manufacture:

1. Pinion shafts in 6-, 8- and 9-inch. These can be supplied with the tapers hard chromed or un-chromed as per your preference.
2. Taper Sleeves in 6-, 8- and 9-inch.
   • The Taper Sleeves supplied are manufactured from stainless steel bar, with the outside diameter for the tungsten carbide disc chrome plated to give the sleeve a hard longer lasting surface. The chromed sleeve has proved to be very successful, with many of our clients achieving cost savings using these rather than the standard sleeve.
   • Profile Gauge & Tool Ltd. also supply the Taper Sleeves nitrided. These are also made from stainless steel bar and are supplied to mills that prefer not to have chrome plate on their sleeves. Castings are not used for the sleeves because castings do not give a consistent surface for the chrome plate and using bar allows us to harden and temper the sleeves with more accuracy through the whole sleeve.
   • Profile Gauge & Tool Ltd. have developed a new specification Taper Sleeve that is on trial at one of our clients. This sleeve is made from stainless steel and is heat treated to give the outside diameter a hardness greater than chrome plating, whilst leaving the bore soft, to the original drawing specification. This gives the sleeve the extended life and cost savings the chrome plating normally achieves, without the problem of the chrome being damaged. Please let us know the type of sleeve you prefer we will be happy to quote you for them. Contact us for more information.
3. Fingers, with chrome oxide coating, labyrinth rings, cover plates, etc.

Profile Gauge can supply these and many other precision-machined parts.
