Keeping The World In Motion
Fisher Barton and our Accurate Specialties division support the automation and industrial motion control industries with high-quality components for original equipment manufacturers. We draw on decades of metallurgical and materials science expertise to create precise, dependable components that stand up to the demands of the sector. Our gear blanks can be used in cranes, conveyors, winches, car washes, escalators, earth movers, and more.
Our Solutions Drive Motion
Through our Accurate Specialties division, we offer ready-made and custom components for:
Gearbox Worm Drives
Gear reducers often rely on gears made of both steel and bronze. Bronze spur gears do not cause premature wear on harder steel work gears, allowing both to work together.
Our spuncast composite gear blanks feature a durable bronze rim and cost-effective steel or cast-iron center hubs. In these bimetal industrial motion control components, the bronze forms a strong bond with the hub because it shrinks more during cooling. You also save because our bronze gear blanks typically do not require spacers.
We can produce bimetal gear blanks, including centrifugal-cast bronze blanks and continuous-cast bar blanks, tailored to your size, material, and performance requirements. Our process includes turning, facing, and boring, allowing us to simplify your supply chain and reduce your production lead times by delivering blanks with gear teeth already cut. We use in-house inspections and coordinate measuring machines to ensure precise dimensions and tolerances.

Tension Brakes
As a high-wear- and corrosion-resistant material with strong thermal management and low-friction properties, bronze is an ideal material for tension brakes and clutches in the motion control industry.
Our tension brake and clutch solutions build on the already-great properties of bronze to deliver more performance and cost savings. Our composite brake rotors, for example, cost 30% less and weigh 60% less than all-bronze alternatives.
We even produce friction brake pads with our innovative ASI 747 friction compound to extend your component lifespan while offering reliable braking. Our friction brake pads minimize brake fade with high-temperature performance capacity.
