Engineering

All Beldam Crossley products are manufactured to an incredibly high standard. To do this, we manufacture from two locations based in the northern part of the UK. We operate to international global standards including BS EN ISO 9001 and BS EN ISO AS 9100.

Engineering & Capability

The core of our Engineering Capability is the expertise and knowledge of our people supported by the suitable facilities and equipment to enable them to do the job.

The Engineering Team comprises:-

An experienced and knowledgeable team of Development Engineers with a strong background in product/material development within the sealing industry and a long track record of material/product development to meet and exceed customer needs. The team works on new product development projects, process improvement/development and also provide technical support, both to Customers and within the organisation.
Industrial Chemists with an on-site laboratory for chemical testing, analysis and product/process development activities.
Design Engineers with product design and prototyping facilities
Our team has expertise in the manufacturing processes that we use on-site including braiding, machining, auto moulding of polymers, moulding and sintering of polymers, bonding & processing of metal/rubber/polymer composites.
Our team has extensive product and application knowledge in engineered polymers, wire overbraid, wire braid, packings, jointings, metals, gaskets. As well as rubbers, skidways and slide bearings, die press rings and composite assemblies for specialist applications.

Our Capabilities

To support these activities we have the following testing capabilities on site:-

Physical testing of Material properties – Tensile/compression/elongation/yield strength/peel testing in accordance with relevant BS standards.
A Chemical laboratory
Pump, valve and fugitive emission testing.
Wear Testing
Friction Testing
Pressure testing up to 2000bar
Able to test over a wide temperature range (from below zero to 1200 C)
Cordseal compression/recovery and leakage testing
Customised testing can also be developed to suit specific non-standard requirements.

Where requirements exceed our on own site physical and chemical analysis capabilities, we developed strong links to specific UKAS approved independent analytical laboratories. They specialise in industrial analysis and problem solving.

Engineering Capability That Moves From Drawing to Solution — Fast

At Beldam Crossley, engineering doesn’t start in production — it starts with your design.

Whether you have a fully defined CAD model or an early-stage concept, our in-house team of development engineers, design specialists and material experts work directly from your data to deliver rapid, accurate solutions.

Send Us Your Drawing — Get a Fast, Informed Quote

Upload your CAD file, technical drawing or specification and we will take it from there.

We read and interpret STEP, IGES, DXF and PDF drawings fluently
We assess material suitability, tolerances and performance requirements immediately.
We identify design improvements, cost efficiencies and risk areas early.

We return fast, technically accurate quotations, not generic estimates

Engineering-Led Quoting — Not Just Pricing.

Unlike standard suppliers, your enquiry is handled by engineers, not just sales.

That means:

You receive application-led recommendations, not just part pricing
We match your design to proven materials and real-world performance data
We consider temperature, pressure, friction, wear and chemical exposure from the outset

Your quote is built on engineering insight, not assumptions.

From CAD to Production — All Under One Roof

Our team supports your project from initial drawing through to full manufacture, including:

CAD design review and optimisation
Rapid prototyping and development
Material selection and compound matching
In-house testing and validation

With expertise across machining, moulding, braiding and composite processing, we ensure your design is ready for real-world performance, not just theoretical success.

Designed for Critical Applications

Our engineering team supports components used in:
