Mining
Mining
Mining applications subject equipment to extreme mechanical loads, abrasive conditions, and continuous operation in remote or harsh environments. Components must maintain structural integrity and dimensional accuracy despite exposure to dust, vibration, and impact. Precision ground bar stock plays a critical role in the production of parts that require strength, wear resistance, and geometric consistency under these conditions.
The tight dimensional tolerances and superior roundness of ground bar stock help reduce stress concentrations in machined parts, support proper load distribution, and minimize downtime due to component wear or misalignment. Material uniformity is especially important for components involved in drilling, crushing, and material handling, where imbalance or deviation can lead to premature failure.
Mining Equipment Application:
- Drill head and shaft components that require high concentricity
- Support pins and bearing-grade shafts for crushing and screening equipment
- Hydraulic actuator rods used in underground and surface mining machinery
- Structural and alignment pins for heavy-duty frames and load-bearing joints
