Our on-hand, expert team of engineers and head office members are always available to offer advice on materials, assembly processes, all bespoke to the requirements set by you.
We can also provide you with a quote and lead times based on your specific requirements and we always welcome the opportunity to be able to fulfil your sub assembly, fabrication and switchgear needs so please get in touch today to discuss your requirements by calling us on 0121 356 5026. We hope to hear from you soon!
A sub-assemby is the production of numerous machined or pressed components destined for integration into a single unit or parent product and these components will form one part of a larger and more complex assembly.
Here at Birmingham Specialities Ltd, we utilise several hand and machine sub assemblies and finishing techniques to ensure metal assemblies of varying materials are of the highest quality. Our team of expert engineers use a number of processes to craft the perfect component, including stud and nut insertion, spin and orbital riveting, brazing and welding, mechanical deburring and drilling and tapping.
Stud and nut insertion in particular is a very cost-effective and efficient manufacturing support solution, which is ideal for the fixing of sheet metal components without the need for fabrication. Stud insertion is an excellent option for parts that don’t suit the welding process or for parts that need to be separated at a later date.
In an electric power system, a switchgear system is composed of electrical disconnect switches, fuses or circuit breakers used to control, protect and isolate electrical equipment. Thus, switchgear systems have two key components:
Power-conducting Components
Power-conducting components will conduct or interrupt the power flow. Examples of these include switches, circuit breakers, fuses, isolators, lighting arrestors and relays.
Control Systems
Control systems will monitor, protect and control any power-conducting components, such as transformers, associated circuitry, and control panels.
Switchgear systems can be set up to a supply system and depending on the voltage level, they can be seen as low, medium or high voltage switchgear systems.
