What the sector asks of a part
Rail components are safety-critical and stay in service for 30 years or more. OEMs expect traceability down to heat and batch, welds to approved procedures and documented first articles before series release.
We make machined and welded parts for brake systems, couplers, gangways and drive systems.
What we make for this sector
-
Drive and gearbox gears
Spur gears, ring gears and gear shafts for drives and gearboxes.
-
Splined and pinion shafts
Splined shafts and pinions made in batches, traceable to the material heat.
-
Brake and coupler fittings
Levers, brackets and pins of the kind used in brake, coupler and gangway systems.

Frequently asked questions
Are your rail parts traceable to the material heat?
Yes. Parts are laser- or engraving-marked with part and batch numbers that link through our ERP to the material certificate and inspection records.
Summary
- Machined and welded components for rail brake, coupler, gangway and drive systems.
- Batch traceability from material certificate to laser-marked part.
- Welding in a separate facility; machining and CMM inspection in the main plant.
