for OEM & MRO Components
TE-CO collaborates with OEMs and MRO suppliers to create custom solutions tailored to their product requirements. Through these partnerships, we help these clients fulfill their visions by providing the product expertise and technical support they need for successful project implementations.
TE-CO products solve challenges presented by OEMs and MRO manufacturers and suppliers. Many times TE-CO provides custom solutions beyond the typical, off-the-shelf offerings from other manufacturers. Our OEM components often serve as the foundation for developing customized fixtures, purpose-built equipment and specialized machinery that meet their application needs.
As products evolve and new items are presented, often TE-CO has the solution with a standard part. Original equipment manufacturers utilize TE-CO components to solve challenges by implementing them in innovative ways that go beyond the traditional or intended use of a product.
Maintenance and repair parts solutions from TE-CO serve a comprehensive range of purposes across various industries, including the automotive, aerospace, medical and electronics manufacturing.
TE-CO spring-loaded devices deliver precise, repeatable spring forces in applications involving locating, positioning and ejecting components. TE-CO plungers come in various thread sizes and diameters, spring pressures, and styles. Materials include steel, stainless steel and delrin.
T-slot nuts typically pair with a threaded bolt or stud to hold fixtures and workpieces in place by securing components to the machine table. These nuts feature large surface areas and optimal thread engagement to accommodate heavy-duty machine mounting and holding applications. In addition, OEMs use them for securing adjustable seating, aluminum framing or other items that slide along a channeled track, enabling the user to loosen, adjust, and re-tighten the object being held with the t-nut.
TE-CO threaded rods are heavy-duty threaded fasteners made with medium carbon steel and a black oxide finish. The end-to-end threads and high-strength material allow them to join and connect components while assisting with stabilization, making them suitable for tasks ranging from building and bridge construction to securing engines for heavy-duty manufacturing equipment. Our large in-stock inventory includes a broad selection of lengths and thread sizes.
TE-CO Flat washers work well for various machining functions, including friction reduction, load distribution and correcting misalignments in clamping. Available in various ID’s and OD’s, TE-CO flat washer materials are case-hardened steel and stainless steel.
Spherical washers from TE-CO are ideal for securing critical components in place and aligning intricate parts during assembly. These washers reduce stress on threads while helping compensate for slight misalignment between the strap clamp and workpiece. We offer an extensive range of sizes in steel and stainless steel.
Clamping levers are easy-to-use devices for a multitude of applications including securing fixtures and workpieces in position. We offer a comprehensive range of lever components, including hand wheels, handles and knobs.
Flange nuts from TE-CO are available in three different styles. The most popular is the standard one-piece construction that helps distribute holding pressures against a flat surface. A swivel flange nut has a two-piece construction that allows the body to rotate but keeps the bottom portion stationary, thus preventing marring of the workpiece but still providing ample holding pressure. A third style is a spherical flange nut, which has a convex base that is used in conjunction with the concave/top portion of a spherical washer to tighten slightly uneven surfaces.
We have been purchasing TE-CO products for many years. The products are of a high standard which are always shipped on time with TE-CO having good stock holding of a range of products. The level of customer service is exceptional, any questions or queries we may have are always answered quickly and efficiently.
TE-CO & Raptor Workholding are a preferred supplier for Travers Tool, providing not just high-quality products, but also outstanding support. The TE-CO & Raptor Team are consistently responsive, helpful, and a pleasure to work with.
We produce our uprights and all of our suspension components in-house. So having access to high-quality CNC workholding solutions is really important to our team. Without TE-CO, our members wouldn’t be able to get the experiences that they do manufacturing products and taking a component from design all the way through manufacturing.
Before investing in the Raptor workholding system from TE-CO, we lacked the ability to use the same style dovetail holder in different machines and move parts around without worry. The Raptor dovetail holders securely hold even very complex parts without failure and we are quite impressed with its rigidity and accuracy. Furthermore, it has a bolt pattern that matches our pallets so there’s no need to create adapter plates or design and develop special fixturing. Perhaps best of all, the Raptor’s lower initial cost compared to other solutions paid for itself within the first few jobs we did. It’s been a very positive experience overall.
The single station vises were great vises to get started with and continue to be useful on low volume work. Very affordable, easy to use and bulletproof. They did everything I needed in a high-mix, low volume environment.
And, the 6-inch Toolex vises have been a complete game changer with some of our higher volume work. I am getting 4- to 8-times the through put on the machine depending on the setup. They are extremely rigid and quick-change jaws have been awesome to work with. The chip covers also work extremely well at keeping things clean and preventing small chips from building up in the vises.
Since 1926 TE-CO has provided various high quality tooling components and fasteners. We strive to establish long-term relationships with OEMs and MRO suppliers by offering the workholding and fastener solutions they need.
