Railways
With experience spanning three decades, we take pride in our specialisation in designing and manufacturing a diverse array of high-quality products tailored to meet the dynamic needs of the railway sector.
Our comprehensive product line is a testament to our commitment to excellence. We offer essential components for carriage coupling, ensuring seamless and reliable connections, with particular expertise in third rail pick up components.
Among our offerings are mounting-plate couplers meticulously tailored for carriage vehicles, resilient mountings designed to support compressor units effectively, and robust bonded bushes and heavy-duty ball-joints crucial for maintaining optimal performance in primary and secondary suspension systems.
Our refurbishment service for rail components stands as a testament to our commitment to longevity and reliability in your railway infrastructure. We take pride in our expertise, which extends to manufacturing components for the heritage railway sector, including parts for both primary and secondary suspension systems.
It's an honour for us to have contributed to renowned projects such as the world-famous Orient Express and the esteemed Bluebell Railway.

Bonded bushes
View
The fully bonded bush consists of rubber bonded between two concentric steel sleeves. The bush is designed to accommodate small torsion, conical and axial movements and endure radial loads.
Buffers
View
Our high-quality buffers are available in both cylindrical and rectangular configurations, specifically designed to isolate vibrations and shocks. These anti-vibration mounts are essential for reducing noise and extending the lifespan of machinery by preventing damage from excessive movement.
Duplex Bushes
View
Duplex bushes are similar to standard bushes, but are reinforced with an intermediate tube. This bush configuration provides high radial load bearing whilst retaining low axial and torsional stiffness rates.
Inner sleeve bushes consist of rubber bonded to the inner sleeve and are designed to accommodate small torsion, conical and axial movements and endure radial loads.
We can provide complete link arm assemblies using either customer-supplied metalwork or in-house fabricated components.
Sandwich, bobbin and shear mounts are used for a variety of applications including engine mounts and vibration equipment. They are designed to accommodate misalignment and provide vibration and shock isolation for shear and compressive axial loads.
A semi-bonded bush consists of rubber sandwiched between two concentric steel sleeves. The rubber is bonded to the inner sleeve and interference fitted to the outer sleeve. The semi-bonded bush is designed to accommodate small torsion, conical and axial movements and endure radial loads.
Specials
View
We offer a variety of non-standard bushes, designed to customer specification. If required we can use customer metal work to produce the finished part.
These bushes consist of a contoured inner and outer metal forming a ball-joint, articulated by a thin annulus of rubber. They are designed to accommodate high radial and axial loads and allow conical and torsional displacement and misalignments.
The spring-eye bush consists of rubber bonded to an inner tube and force-fitted into an outer sleeve. The spring-eye bush is similar to the semi-bonded bush series, although the outer metals are turned over to increase radial and axial load bearing capability.
