There are a number of different metal materials available and each of these metals have a variety of uses. So depending on what use you need the metal for depends on what type of metal you purchase.
Many metals possess high structural strength per unit mass, which make them perfect for carrying large loads as well as resisting impact damage. It is due to this strength that metals are frequently used in high rise buildings and bridge construction as well as some vehicles. On the other hand some metals can be vulnerable to fatigue damage through repeated use, or from sudden stress failure when a load capacity is exceeded.
Going back to what metal can be used for, it is also used within many applications such as tools, pipes and non-illuminated signs as well as railroad tracks. One of the reasons as to why it is better to use metal when it comes to aspects such as these as oppose to non metal is down to the fact that metal has a much higher density.
If you are in need of metal materials then look no further than Howcroft Industrial Supplies. Here at Howcroft Industrial Supplies we offer you metals such as Key Steel, Bright Steel, Shim Steel, Oilite, and all Glacier products. We offer you all of these products from stock but if you need a full engineering service we can provide you with this on request.
So for all of your metal needs get in touch with Howcroft Industrial Supplies, with over 100 years experience in providing metals to a variety of customers you know you are in the best hands with Howcroft Industrial Supplies.

Adhesives
When it comes to industrial supplies, the one aspect that most industries can’t do without is defiantly adhesives. If you are currently in need of adhesive or you wish to stock up on it then get in touch with Howcroft Industrial Supplies today.
As industrial suppliers, here at Howcroft we stock a vast amount of different adhesives for all industry needs. Whether you need instant adhesive, hydraulic sealants, gasket sealants, treadlock retaining compounds or epoxy resin from Bond Loc as well as Loctite from stock you will find what you are looking for right here at Howcroft Industrial Supplies Limited.
Here at Howcroft we understand that everyone’s needs are different and not all industries require that same products and materials. This is why here at Howcroft you will find a range of different adhesives so no matter what job you have to do we will be the ones able to supply you with everything that you need to complete it.
At Howcroft we also understand that there is an often bewildering variety of adhesives that are available from a range of adhesive manufacturers. It is however possible to simplify the choice of adhesive that is available by classifying the adhesive. The way in which this can be done is either by the way that the adhesive is used or by the chemical type of the adhesive. The strongest adhesives solidify by a chemical reaction and weaker varieties harden by some physical change. Some of the major classifications of adhesives are detailed below:
• Toughened Acrylics – these adhesives are fast curing and offer high strength and toughness
• Silicones – even though this form of adhesive is not very strong, they are known for their flexibility and high temperature resistance. They are also available in single or two part forms
• Cyanoacrylates – these adhesives cure through reaction with moisture held on the surface to be bonded
• Epoxies – these adhesives consist of an epoxy resin plus a hardener. They allow great versatility in formulation since there are many resins and many different hardeners. Epoxy adhesives can be used to join most materials. These materials have good strength, do not produce volatiles during curing, and have low shrinkage.
The above are just a few examples of the types of adhesives that are available to you and here at Howcroft we can more than likely supply you with whatever type of adhesive you need.
At Howcroft we may have the particular adhesive in stock and if not we can simply order in the adhesive that you need. We pride ourselves on our service and will ensure that every effort it taken to get you the product that you need.

Belt Drives
Belt drives represent a method of transferring rotary motion between two shafts. In the UK alone belt drives transmit hundreds of megawatts of power around the clock; many of these are on critical machinery where reliable and efficient performance is essential.
Belt drives are made up of a pair of pulleys attached to parallel shafts and are connected by a flexible belt that can transmit and modify rotary motion one from shaft to another. Most belt drives consist of flat leather, rubber or fabric belts running on cylindrical pulleys or of belts with a V-shaped cross section running on grooved pulleys.
There are a number of belt drives available; some of the most common are as follows:
• Flat Belts – these are a simple system of power transmission and are well suited to their time in history but these belts, although still used, have mainly been replaced by Vee belts.
• Vee Belts – these are now the basic belt that is used for power transmission. The ‘V’ shape of this belt tracks in a matting groove in the pulley (or sheave), which means that the belt cannot slip off.
• Timing Belts – also known as toothed, notch or cog belts. These timing belts have teeth that can fit into a matching toothed pulley.
Belt drives provide the best array of traction and speed of movement as well as the best load of bearings and they have a longer service life.
Whatever type of belt drive you are hoping to find you will find it with the help of Howcroft Industrial Supplies. Here at Howcroft Industrial Supplies we will continually strive to offer the best service and support to all our existing and potential customers. We can offer you whatever type of belt drive you need to suit all of your needs.
When you buy your belt drive from us here at Howcroft Industrial Supplies you will receive same day delivery if in stock and virtually next day delivery on any ready available products, this shows that we have an excellent 24 hour – 7 day a week service

Chain Drives
Do you want to do business with a dynamic company who are at the forefront of their industry? Well you’ve certainly come to the right place. The Howcroft Group strives to give customers the very best in quality, value and service.
Howcroft Industrial Supplies strength lies with its staff who have over 100 years experience. Our knowledge regarding products and the job in hand allows us to be second to none. We offer a range of services and products, one of which are chain drives.
Chain drives are a way of transmitting mechanical power from one place to another. They are often used to convey power to the wheels of a vehicle, particularly bicycles and motorcycles. This isn’t however the only purpose of chain drives; they are also used in a wide variety of machines and are at the forefront of what makes these machines work.
Three of the main types of chain drives that are available are as follows:
• Roller Chain
With a roller chain motion is transmitted using shaft mounted sprockets. A roller chain is the type of chain most commonly used for transmission of mechanical power on bicycles, motorcycles, and in industrial and agricultural machinery. It is simple, reliable, and efficient, but requires more attention to maintain than may be desired by potential owners.
• Inverted Tooth
Also known as ‘silent,’ this works when motion is transferred via shaft mounted pinions (similar to gear wheels). They produce higher power capacities, higher speeds and smoother operation.
• Leaf Chains
These chains are used for lifting loads and do not involve tooth sprockets or gear wheels. They are mainly used on fork lift trucks and machine tools.
Roller chains still remain the most common form of chain drives as they meet the demands of heavy duty oil well drilling equipment, high-production agricultural machinery, construction machinery, and similar equipment. They also meet the timing requirements of lighter-duty equipment such as printing, packaging, and vending equipment.
The chain drive is positive, efficient and high torques can be transmitted. The chain used is generally made from steel although plastic chains have also been developed.
If you are currently after the best when it comes to chain drives then you need the help of Howcroft Industrial Supplies. Here at Howcroft Industrial Supplies we can give you access to the best when it comes to chain drives. So if you are in need of a chain drive then get in touch with us today.

Bearings
A bearing is a device to permit constrained relative motion between two parts, typically rotation or linear movement. They can vary greatly when it comes to the size and direction of the force that they can support. These forces can be radial, axial (thrust bearings) or moments perpendicular to the main axis.
Bearings are what enable machinery to move at extremely high speeds and allow them to carry the heaviest of loads with the most ease and efficiency. They must be able to offer high precision, reliability and durability, as well as the ability to rotate at high speeds with minimal noise and vibration. Luckily for you whatever type of bearing you need you will find what you are looking for at Howcroft Industrial Supplies.
