In House
Our range of precision fasteners; sealing, captive, shoulder and vented screws benefit from being manufactured in-house at our Chichester site. Our CNC lathes are working day and night to produce our wide selection of shoulder screws, captive screws, vented screws and more in many different sizes and materials.
To ensure we are running as efficiently as possible, we have written custom software that works with our warehouse and ordering systems to reduce the average lead time significantly.
Our system means that we can offer bespoke variations on our existing products with no hassle, and at lower minimum quantities.

LINEAR COMPONENTS
Linear Guideways & Rails
High-performance linear guideways, rails, and stages deliver precise motion with high load capacity and rigidity. Download CAD models or catalogues, or contact us for tailored solutions and bespoke cutting services.
Lead Screws & Ball Screws
Lead and ball screws convert rotation to linear motion. Lead screws suit dirty, cost-sensitive applications, while ball screws offer higher efficiency and lower friction. Selection depends on environment, accuracy, and performance needs.
Linear Bearings & Shafts
Linear shafts and bearings provide compact, low-friction motion. Easy to install and energy-efficient, they have lower load capacity than rails. Proper shaft sizing reduces deflection. Full range of shafts, bearings, and supports available.
Linear Tables, Positioning Stages & Crossed Roller Sets
Linear tables, stages, and roller systems support light to heavy-duty precision motion. Manual and motorised options deliver smooth, accurate performance with micron-level repeatability across automation, research, fibre optics, and semiconductor industries.
Telescopic Slides
Telescopic slides for industrial use offer high load capacity. Triple extension slides reach over 3 m and 500 kg, while partial slides support up to 4500 kg. Built from durable steel, with aluminium and stainless options.
