We have been designing and manufacturing drive power transmission components for well over a century, and today we produce a comprehensive range of drives and components that meet modern industry's demands for increasing speeds, power, durability and precision.
As well as our standard stock products that include gears, roller chains, sprag clutches, sprockets, timing belt pulleys and torque limiters, we offer a full design and development service for custom items.
Our aim is to provide the widest selection of cost-effective, quality power transmission products, tailoring each solution to the customer's requirements with excellent customer service and fastest delivery possible.
We are continually assessing and improving our products and service, and we hold BS EN ISO 9001:2000 accreditation for the manufacture of power transmission products.

We offer precision roller chains to both BS and ANSI standards in simplex and multi-strand forms, with several sizes kept in stock for immediate despatch. We also provide special construction chains suitable for corrosive or high temperature applications.
Our standard attachment chains include extended bearing pin chains and hollow pin chain as well as K and M plates. We can also custom design attachments.
We supply tools such as rivet extractors and a variety of tensioners. We were the original manufacturers of the Automotive Chain Tensioner, and offer 3-inch, 6-inch and 12-inch models.
We also provide a wide range of sprockets, bushes and platewheels in both standard and custom sizes and configurations.

Our H-V chains provide for smooth, low noise transmission of high torques with high shaft speeds of up to 12000 RPM, saving money and space over timing belt drives, gears or roller chain drives in a wide variety of applications.
We also have RPV chains to HV format with metric widths, providing special guiding for vertical shaft drives.
SC inverted tooth chains in ANSI standard dimensions with widths up to 16 inches are also available, with fast delivery on both standard centre guide or outside guides.
Inverted Tooth Conveyor Chains provide smooth transportation of glassware, castings, mechanical components and many other products. As well as improved synchronisation and timing and the resultant faster production rates, the hardened links offer the advantage of high wear resistance.

Designed to give overload protection of high torque values with a compact unit, our Safeguard Overload Clutches provide precision and long service life with minimal maintenance for a low cost. They are available in the Standard series that provides optimum torque and speed, as well as the Mini series for slower speed drives. Both series are also available as Overload Shaft Couplings. We also offer Series CZ/CN Zero Backlash Safeguard Overload Clutches in a range of types and sizes, as well as pneumatically operated overload clutches.
For applications requiring shaft synchronisation and accurate torque control, we offer prompt availability on Cross Shearguard Overload Couplings, which provide for transmission of torques as high as 125,000 Nm in a low inertia, compact unit. The standard Shearguard coupling combines with the Chain Coupling to create a flexible coupling that can accommodate shaft misalignment.

Providing the latest innovation in drive connection, our shaft clamping elements enable transmission of both axial thrust and torque loads with no backlash. Incorporating simplified designs that offer cost reduction and easy assembly and disassembly, Cross shaft clamping elements offer an alternative method of connecting hubs to shafts to fine-bored hubs, heavy press kits, hydraulic clamping systems, tapered brushes and welded components.
We offer a comprehensive range of shaft clamping elements to cover number of uses such as applications with high bending loads, use with standard or large pulleys, sprockets and gears, connecting to small shaft diameters or soft materials, and connecting to more than one shaft as a rigid shaft coupling.

When the torque demand exceeds a preset limit in a drive system, the Morse Torque Limiter automatically slips to protect the system from damage until the torque overload has passed, then re-engages automatically with no re-set requirement. The simple design of this economical yet durable limiter means minimal maintenance and ease of adjustment, and can prevent expensive downtime and equipment repairs. The Morse Torque Limiter is flexible and has a torque range of 3 to 8540 Nm.

We stock an extensive range of standard gears, and with our short lead time capability on custom gears, we can fulfil any open gear drive requirement.
Our standard stock gears include straight cut bevel and mitre gears in medium carbon steels. We also offer a new range of 20 deg PA spur gears with up to 120 teeth in medium carbon steel. We supply straight racks for combining with standard spur gears for an economical conversion from rotary to linear motion.
We can modify our standard gears by the addition of heat treatment for use in rigorous conditions or reworking the faces and bores. We can also manufacture custom gears and racks.
