The HMC Difference

Advanced Technology – Extended Service Life

Large Gears and Pinions and other Machine Components have become very serious investments today owing primarily to volatile and run-away steel price increases. Alloy Steel Forgings and Castings have increased in cost from 2004 by as much as 200 to 400%. 

HMC has solutions that will help mitigate these cost impacts and improve your Bottom Line. 

One solution is to use our Advanced Technology Extended Service Products.

Advanced Technology Replacement Parts are produced with; Higher AGMA Qualities, More Demanding Tolerances & Finishes, Exacting Quality Control Requirements, and they sometimes require Carburized & Ground or Maag Hard Cut.

These advantages coupled with Preciseness in Installation and Alignment is what creates Longer Lasting Components.  

We have other solutions;

HMC Rebanded Gears that come with New Gear Warranties.

And we have Repair and Refurbishing Solutions for your Large Expensive Gears as well:

HMC has years of experience and know how with quality repair solutions. We can restore life back into Gears that are otherwise considered non-useable. Our Cost Savings Repair and Refurbishing Solutions are Industry Accepted and have saved our customers significant costs over that of New.

For many years HMC has strived to develop Product Designs that would make “The Difference” and Pass the True Test – “The Test of Time”.

To make that difference our Advanced Technology Products, New or Rebuilt, must undergo significantly Higher Manufacturing  and Quality Control Expectations and just as importantly they must be completed; here at HMC,  by our Engineers, our Highly Trained and Skilled Machinists, Welders,  Inspectors, and on our Modern and Precision Machine Tools and Inspection Equipment.

And we don’t compromise your Gear Service Life by selecting the more popular and more economical shelf steels for Gearing. We use 21st Century Advanced Technology Forged and Cast Steels when Large Critical Open Gearing is required. Our Gear Materials have increased hardness and strength, (Tensile and Yields), and offer improved Wear Resistance while remaining very forgiving, even when operating temperatures drop below O Degrees Fahrenheit.

See HMC’s Technical Library on our Web Site for information on Advanced Technology Alloy Steels such as 4330 Vanadium Modified.

This “Advanced Technology” and “Time in Service is what separates us from our Competitors. And that’s why our Products and Services are not always the Least Expensive; when compared to Replacement Parts Suppliers who perform little or no Engineering or Manufacturing and lack the Sophistication in Engineering and Manufacturing.

It isn’t possible for Marginal Quality Companies with Limited Engineering and Manufacturing Technology and Companies working between a middle man to furnish you with Advanced Technology Extended Service Life.   

See HMC’s Technical Library on our Web Site for Information, Illustrations, and Live Film Footage of the Design Improvements we have offered our Customers for over 25 years.  

Because of the Significantly Increased Cost for Critical Replacement Components; Customers need to be involved with their manufacturers to understand what is required that will ensure Improved Component Service Life. These requirements obviously include Quality Assurance and Inspection. HMC has the Latest in Technology that allow us to produce to the Highest AGMA Level - AGMA 15. And we can inspect and substantiate to you by e-mail; Lead, Pitch, and Profile Tolerances, with the most modern Inspection and Software Technology, on Gears to 240 Inches.
