What makes a quality industrial parts supplier?

February 05, 2025

“Excuse me have you got an adjustable center variable speed pulley available for immediate dispatch?” “Yes certainly Sir, what’s your address and I will send it right away?”

Whatever industry you work in, whether it’s mining, textile, packaging, shipping, quarrying, paper, canning, printing, bottling, to name just a few, there will almost inevitably be a point when you need a component for an essential piece of equipment replacing – quickly.

This is when a supplier and distributer of industrial parts can step in and prove invaluable.

Like there are good hairdressers and bad ones, reliable plumbers and not so reliable ones, quality teachers and mediocre ones, there are good suppliers of industrial equipment and not so good suppliers

So how do you weed out the excellent from the mediocre?

What products are available?

Industrial machinery is complex and comprises of numerous components all of which depend on each other for efficient and effective running of the equipment. Put simply, if a piece of machinery is not operating at its maximum, optimal workshop production will not be achieved.

From Amt linear bearings to Centrex clutches, Cls60 aluminium switching amplifiers to Berges speed belts, Dinal gel couplings to Enemac torque limiters, Falk couplings to Heynau gearboxes, a quality industrial components supplier will have a hugely diverse range of products available for immediate dispatch. By having such specialist parts readily available, means you will never be left waiting for that essential part for long.

Easy payment options

A quality supplier you can rely on will also have a series of easy payment options in place. To ensure the service is convenient for its customers, a supplier should have credit card, BACS, CHAPS and PayPal options in place.

Express delivery direct to your door

When you are relying on Lenze variable speed pulley or an Orpex coupling to be sent in order to be able to complete a vital order by the end of the week, you need a supplier who can get the item sent to you quickly and direct to your door.

Ideally the suppler should use express delivery services such as FEDEX, UPS, TNT, DHL or APC which will deliver the goods directly to your factory or workshop door.

Great value

Virtually all business in every sector are working to tight budgets and simply cannot afford to ‘pay above the odds’ for products and services.

To make sure you are not paying too much to the likes of Murtdfeldt wearstrips manufacturers and to a Sankyo oilless manufacturer, a quality industrial components supplier will search on a database of thousands of manufacturers across the world to enable you to purchase items like Senotec sensors and Sferax linear bearings cheaper.

For a quality, reliable and cost-effective supplier of industrial parts you can always rely on YB Components. Our ‘Source and Supply’ database enables our customers to purchase goods like Sirem gearboxes and Sirem pumps for less.

Alternatively our machining facilities enable one off ‘specials’ to high volume ‘schedule stocks’, ultimately resulting in being the answer to those often obsolete yet essential industrial components.
