Why A&K for Conveyor Parts

Custom Parts for Any Conveyor System

A&K Machine & Fabrication has been producing conveyor components for mining, agriculture, food processing, distribution, recycling, and industrial operations since 1989. We machine components to match OEM specifications — or to exceed them — using your worn parts, drawings, or measurements.

When a conveyor goes down, production stops. That's why we prioritize fast turnaround on many standard components and offer on-site service for in-place repairs when pulling equipment isn't an option.

Match any existing conveyor system — we work from samples, drawings, or field measurements

Standard and non-standard dimensions available

Material options: carbon steel, stainless, UHMW, and more

On-site installation and alignment services available

Conveyor Components

What We Build

Nine component categories, each on its own dedicated page with material specs, options, and FAQs. Click any card to dive in.

Idlers & Belt Tracking

Carrying, return, impact, and training idlers — any troughing angle, any roll diameter, any bearing spec.

Explore Idlers

Gearbox Shafts

Replacement input and output shafts in carbon, alloy, or stainless — keyed, splined, threaded, heat-treated to spec.

Explore Gearbox Shafts

Pulleys & Accessories

Head, tail, snub, and bend pulleys with crowned faces and your choice of lagging — bare steel, rubber, ceramic, polyurethane.

Explore Pulleys

Pillow Blocks & Bearings

2- and 4-bolt pillow blocks, take-up units, flange-mount housings — machined to your bearing-insert spec and frame bolt pattern.

Explore Bearings

Belt Scrapers & Cleaners

Primary and secondary scrapers, V-plows, skirt rubber — tungsten-carbide-tipped, urethane, or hardened-steel blades.

Explore Scrapers

Chute Liners & Wear Strips

UHMW, AR400/AR500, and ceramic-faced wear liners cut to your chute drawing. Rubber-topped impact bars too.

Explore Wear Liners

Sprockets & Couplings

Conveyor chain sprockets, drive sheaves, gear/jaw couplings — any ANSI pitch, any tooth profile, in steel or UHMW.

Explore Sprockets

Take-Up Assemblies

Screw, gravity, and pneumatic take-ups for belt tensioning. Drop-in replacements that mount to your existing frame.

Explore Take-Ups

Auger Flighting

Helical flighting in carbon, AR plate, or stainless — welded to custom shafts, with troughs, liners, and hangers to match.

Our Process

How a Conveyor Job Moves Through Our Shop

From your first call to a finished part on your dock, here's the path most conveyor work takes at A&K.

Diagnosis

Send us a photo of the worn part, the OEM number, or the gearbox tag. We figure out exactly what you need — even if you don't have drawings.

Measure & Quote

If a sample is shipped, we measure it on a granite plate. We come back with a fixed quote and a real lead time — not a stock 8-week placeholder.

Machine & Inspect

CNC turning or milling, in the right material with the right heat treatment. Every part is inspected against the print before it leaves the machine.

Ship or Install

We palletize for pickup, drop ship, or roll the truck and install it ourselves — alignment, tracking, and tensioning included.

Beyond Single Parts

Plant Modernization & Retrofits

When a legacy conveyor line is past patching, A&K designs and builds out a full modernization — replacing every worn component, retrofitting frames to a new belt width or load rating, and updating the system to current spec. We handle the engineering, the fabrication, and the on-site installation under one roof, so there's no handoff seam between "the shop that machined the parts" and "the crew that installed them".

Full-system overhauls: idlers, pulleys, drives, shafts, frames

Retrofits to new belt width, load rating, or throughput target

Replace legacy OEM systems with A&K-machined components — no more chasing parts that aren't made anymore

Predictive Maintenance

Scheduled Replacement Program

Have parts that consistently wear out on a known cycle? Don't wait for the breakdown call. Tell A&K which components run on a predictable schedule — and at your chosen interval (6, 12, or 24 months), we'll machine, finish, and stage your replacements before they're needed. When your maintenance window comes around, the parts are already on your dock, ready to swap in.

We keep your component spec, material, and heat treatment on file — no re-quoting every cycle

Custom intervals: 6, 12, 18, 24 months — or aligned to your planned shutdown calendar

Parts staged and labeled, ready to ship or installed by our on-site crew

Predictable budget — no emergency-rate surprises when something breaks at 2am

First sign of premature wear? Send us a photo and we'll adjust the spec for the next cycle

No commitment — pause or cancel any time; we just keep your file warm for next year

Common Questions

Conveyor Components FAQ

Can A&K match an existing OEM conveyor part if it's no longer available?

Yes. We reverse-engineer worn or obsolete conveyor parts from a physical sample. Send us the part, the OEM number, or even just the gearbox/bearing tag — we'll measure, model, and machine an exact-fit replacement so your line keeps running even when the original supplier has dropped the part.

What materials and lagging options do you use for drive pulleys?

Drum bodies in carbon or stainless steel, with crowned or flat faces. Lagging options: bare steel for clean environments, vulcanized rubber for general-purpose, ceramic for high-friction or wet conditions, and polyurethane for food-grade lines. Tell us your belt material and load and we'll recommend the right combination.

How fast can you turn around an emergency replacement idler or shaft?

Most standard conveyor parts can be machined within a few business days when material is in stock. We prioritize emergency breakdown work because we know what an idle line costs. Call 904-388-7772 with your specs and we'll tell you straight whether we can hit your deadline before you commit.

Do you supply the conveyor frame and structure too, or just the moving parts?

Both. Our structural fabrication side builds conveyor frames, gantries, support stands, and walkways from your layout — and our on-site team can install the new structure with the new components in the same shutdown window. One quote, one PO, one accountable team.

Can you also field-install components, or do we have to take the conveyor down and ship it to you?

Field installation is a regular part of what we do — including pulley swaps, idler frame retrofits, shaft replacements, and belt re-tracking. For some jobs we machine the new part in our shop, then come to your site to install and test it. Great for facilities where pulling the conveyor is more disruptive than the repair itself.
