Manufacture of machine components
We manufacture machine components based on technical drawings, 3D models or, by arrangement, based on a supplied sample part. We supply individual items, spare parts and repeat production runs for the engineering, energy, hydraulics and heavy industries, as well as other sectors with high demands on precision, service life and reliability.
We handle each order comprehensively – from assessing the technical documentation and selecting the appropriate material, through the actual manufacturing process, to heat treatment, surface finishing, inspection and delivery to the destination.
Examples of machine components we manufacture
Gear components
- gears,
- geared hubs,
- pinions,
- pinion shafts,
- splined shafts,
- chain sprockets.
We routinely manufacture gear teeth in modules ranging from 0.5 to 22. We supply straight, helical, involute, worm and bevel gears, in either milled or ground finishes, depending on the required precision and operational load.
Rotary and cylindrical components
- shafts,
- cylinders,
- slender cylinders,
- drawing rolls,
- rollers,
- guide pulleys,
- drive pulleys,
- transmission pulleys,
- flanges.
Manufacture of the component and its functional surface in a single solution
A key advantage of TRIBO Engineering is the integration of bespoke machined component manufacturing with thermal spray technologies.
We do not merely manufacture the component itself. For components subject to wear, corrosion, erosion, cavitation or high thermal stress, we are able to design and apply a suitable functional coating directly onto the newly manufactured component. This makes it possible to optimise the part’s design, select a more cost-effective base material and ensure the required properties are achieved specifically on the functional surface.
Within a single order, we can therefore provide:
- the manufacture of a new machine component,
- the design of a suitable material and structural solution,
- the application of thermal spraying,
- final machining or grinding of functional surfaces,
- dimensional inspection and delivery documentation.
This process is particularly suitable for cylinders, shafts, pins, pulleys, guide elements, gear parts and other components where surface hardness and a long service life are crucial.
Depending on requirements, we can also provide related technologies, such as laser cladding, laser hardening, case hardening and other types of heat treatment or surface finishing.

Technical design and production optimisation
The basis for preparing a quotation and technical proposal is the current set of drawings. For simpler components, a sample part may also be used as a basis, subject to prior agreement.
Production parameters are normally based on the requirements specified in the drawings. However, drawing on our experience, we can recommend a more suitable material, design modification, heat treatment or surface finish so that the final solution meets the actual operating conditions whilst remaining cost-effective.
We consult on any changes to the original documentation in advance and implement them only after the customer has given their approval.
Quality control and documentation
- The following can be provided with the delivery on request:
- dimensional reports,
- material certificates,
- heat treatment reports,
- surface treatment reports,
- other documentation as required by the customer.
The service also includes arranging for the finished parts to be delivered to the required location.
Enquiry regarding the manufacture of a machine component
Please send us the technical drawings, the required quantity, the material, the delivery date and, where applicable, information on the component’s operating load. We will assess the technical feasibility and prepare a technical and financial quotation.
