Replacement parts

Send the old part. Get the right replacement.

A photo is enough to start. Send the old part, the machine it belongs to and the quantity you need, and we confirm the replacement before anything is produced or shipped.

  • Photo Old part, marking and mounting position
  • Machine Brand and model the part belongs to
  • Dimensions Measured, or scaled from your photo
  • Confirmed Replacement agreed before shipment

Identification

Seven details, and the part is identified.

Old, discontinued and unmarked parts all go through the same check. Send what you have; we say which detail is missing.

  • Old part photo The part itself, its marking, and where it sits on the machine.
  • Part or model number Whatever is cast, stamped or printed on the part, or on its label.
  • Machine brand and model The machine the part is fitted to, and its series or year if you know it.
  • Dimensions Length, diameter, bore, thread and any key dimension, measured or scaled from the photo.
  • Mounting position Where it sits, and what it drives, guides or tensions.
  • Quantity How many you need now, and how often the part is replaced.
  • Country Delivery country, so shipping and documents are quoted with the part.

How to photograph

Three shots identify almost every part.

Phone photos are enough. Use daylight or the machine light, keep the part still, and leave the background in — what surrounds the part matters as much as the part.

  • Whole part Both sides, in focus, on a plain surface or in the hand.
  • Marking close-up The cast or printed number, close enough to read without opening the file.
  • Mounted position A wider shot with the surrounding machine visible, before removal.

If the part moves during operation, a short video of it running tells us more than another photo. For wear questions, keep the failed part until the case is closed.

Replacement request

Send the details and the photos.

Two minutes of detail now saves a week of questions later. Fill what you know — the fields are the ones we would otherwise have to ask for.

Nothing is produced or shipped until you have confirmed the replacement reference.

Replacement confirmation

Confirmed before it is made, not after it arrives.

Five steps from your photos to a repeatable supply reference. The confirmation step is what keeps a wrong part off your line.

  1. 01 Send the details

    Photos, machine, dimensions, mounting position, quantity and country — in one message.

  2. 02 Identification

    We match the part to the machine, confirm the model, or name the detail still missing.

  3. 03 Replacement confirmation

    You receive the confirmed reference, or the closest current replacement with the difference stated.

  4. 04 Quotation

    Price, quantity, delivery country and lead time, against the confirmed reference.

  5. 05 Supply and repeat orders

    The reference is kept on file, so the next replacement is a one-line enquiry.

Next step

Upload the old part photo.

One photo, the machine brand and model, and the quantity you need. We confirm the replacement and come back with the quote — and the same reference is kept for your next order.
