This part demonstrates our ability to precision grind and apply metal coatings to large diameter shafts. Job requiresgrinding andplating with extensive masking. The shaft is ground on a Landis OD Grinder capable of holding tolerancesup to +0.0000/-0.0005”with a 16 RMS finish.
It’s a cycled production component, with a customer-imposed turnaround of 2 to 5 working days.

Drilling Rig Rotor Shaft Plating
At BHC Industries Plating, we've been servicing customers in the petroleum industry since 1942. Working with heavy industry requires us to possess capabilities to accommodate the large scale requirements of this industry. The 55' drilling rig rotor shaft highlighted here exemplifies these capabilities.
This project posed not only machining and plating challenges but also several logistical challenges as Learn More

Drilling Rig Main Shaft Coating
The project highlighted here exemplifies our ability to apply precision grinding and coating processes to large diameter shafts. This customer needed a phosphate coating applied to shafts with variable outside diameters of 8" to 24". Prior to coating the shafts are sand blasted, and then ground on our Landis OD Grinder, which features a 30" swing, and is capable of grinding components up to 240" between centers, and up to 12,000 lbs.
Once the shaft surface is prepa Learn More
