Transportation

From rail systems to heavy-duty commercial vehicles, the transportation sector requires components that can withstand long operating cycles, exposure to vibration, and variable environmental conditions. Precision ground bar stock supports these demands by offering dimensional uniformity, consistent roundness, and improved material stability. This is especially important in assemblies where motion, wear, and structural integrity must be tightly controlled.

Precision ground materials are often used as starting stock for parts that must interface with bearings, slide within housings, or rotate under load. Even small deviations in diameter or straightness can affect performance and lead to premature wear.

Applications in transportation include:

• Axle pins and pivot shafts for rail and freight systems
• Guide rods and linear shafts in door actuators or suspension systems
• Bushings and spacers machined for heavy commercial equipment
• Mounting hardware and alignment pins used in vehicle frames and support structures
