<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lewis &amp; Raby manufacture and fit a wide range of premium heavy duty mild steel and stainless-steel brackets for industrial and commercial applications.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Shelf Brackets</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our industrial shelf brackets offer strength and durability.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We manufacture brackets for indoor and outdoor use, offering various finishes including painted, powder-coated and galvanised for harsh environmental conditions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We can manufacture any bracket to any strength specification you require.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>U-Brackets</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A U-Bracket can be used to hold wooden roof beams, perfect for turnbuckles.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Turnbuckles have a right- and left-hand thread that pull and therefore tighten the frame of the roof, making it more secure, as pictured.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The size of the U-Bracket will depend on the strength needed for the turnbuckle, which we can source for you.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">See also our <a href="https://lewisandraby.co.uk/project/gallows-bracket/">Gallows Bracket</a> Page for your Heavy-Duty Needs</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lewis &amp; Raby is a manufacturer of bespoke busbars for a range of industrial and commercial applications where a significant electrical current needs to be transferred across a short distance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The water cooled&nbsp;busbar&nbsp;pictured is used in glass manufacturing equipment and&nbsp;must be able to withstand a high temperature operating environment.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The&nbsp;busbar is machined in copper before being deep hole drilled to&nbsp;allow water to pass through the busbar for cooling purposes. The metal pieces of the busbar are heated to 600° Celsius for welding.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The busbar&#8217;s contact points are silver soldered and the unit can be plated in a range of metals&nbsp;including silver and nickel sulfemate to AMS 2403&nbsp;to prevent corrosion and provide good electrical conductivity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The busbar&nbsp;pictured was also pressure tested to 125 PSIG prior to dispatch to our customer.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">All of our busbars are made to our customers&#8217; individual specifications. Please contact our engineering team to discuss your requirements.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lewis &amp; Raby is a manufacturer of high quality and cost effective parts for Crankshafts, driveshafts and mixer shafts such as gears, cams, flanges, yokes, shafts, joints, tubes and axles. Our parts are used in a range of automotive and industrial settings.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We also offer technical advice on the repair and replacement of current <a href="https://lewisandraby.co.uk/service/oem-parts-supplier/">OEM Parts</a> used in driveshafts, including assistance in designing a new component.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our driveshaft parts can be made using any specified material such as EN8 medium carbon steel or a range of stainless steels. They are often sand casted and initially proof-machined to eliminate any porosity defects.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Additional holes, keyways and other modifications can be machined&nbsp;using our Haas VF9 or Goratu GBM32 Bed Mill CNC machines.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We have one of the largest turning capacities in the north west of England and are able to machine driveshaft parts on site which are up to 1 metre in diameter, 3 metres in length, and 5 tonnes in weight.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To ensure the highest quality, our driveshaft parts can be finished using a number of processes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We offer precision grinding for fine finishes, while parts are often stress-relieved to remove residual stresses and stop distortions or future cracking in operation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our parts can also undergo <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferritic_nitrocarburizing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ferritic nitrocarburizing</a> before testing and dispatch. Also known as the Tufftride or Tennifer process, this hardening process improves the part’s longevity by increasing its resistance to fatigue, corrosion, wear and scuffing.</p>
