Our hardened pins have an extended service life because our unique hardening processes penetrate the pin deeper than our competitor’s pins, without sacrificing toughness.  Conventional OEM pins have approximately 12.7 mm (1/2 in) thick hardened layer.  Ours consistently have a hardened layer that is 17% deeper with a layer that is 14.9 mm (19/32 in) thick.  For extreme applications where maximum wear life is mission-critical, we also offer our chromium-carbide weld overlay pins at a hardened depth of all the way up to 19 mm (3/4 in) thick.

Maintenance is expensive, and you need parts that are more durable and last longer. We are proud to provide replacement components that outlast the original parts. Whether you need an assembly or a simple part like a bushing, we have earned our reputation for durability.

One of our customers in Alberta, Canada got five times the normal wear life when they switched from a forged bushing to our explosion hardened bushing. Another customer in Texas, US found that our extreme manganese steel bushing lasted 30% longer than the forged bushing they were using.

By studying the known failure modes of OEM components, we can attack and eliminate them through design innovation and manufacturing excellence.

Our product is backed by a talented and accessible team of design engineers, technical service engineers, and metallurgical engineering expertise ready to offer support and add value when things don’t seem black-and-white.  Yes, we’ve got state-of-the-art 3D-based design technologies in house, but we’ve also have experienced former miners and quarry engineers on staff to ensure that our design and support offerings are relevant in the real world.  Whether it’s assistance with a part number application, a custom engineering / manufacturing request, a metallurgical analysis, etc. we’ve have a team you can count on for world-class service before, during, and after the sale.
