Steel
Bar Machining for Oil &
Gas Power Generation
Specialty Bar Products Company manufacturers high-quality components from hi-nickel, alloy and stainless steel bars for use in reciprocating compressors for the Oil & Gas power generation industry. SBP employs skilled machinists who fabricate specific hardware as well as custom steel components. The skills of our machinists and the precision of our high-tech machining equipment help us meet the exact specifications of our customers for the enduring performance of a compressor.
Rotor Hardware for Oil & Gas Power Generation
Forged or machined: bolts, studs, nuts
Specialty Bar Products machines and forges studs, nuts, and bolts and various other associated rotor hardware for the compressor assembly of the reciprocating turbine. These steel components are most commonly manufactured from alloy steel bars, stainless steel bars, or hi-nickel, all which provide durability and reliability for this high-performance machine. Specialty Bar Products also provides machine and weigh balanced assemblies.
Casing Hardware for Reciprocating Compressors
Machined and forged: studs, nuts, and bolts; machines dowel pins and washers
Steel casing hardware consists of nuts, bolts, or studs, which are either machined or forged, as well as washers and dowel pins, which are machined. These steel components are most commonly used to bolt the reciprocating compressor casing halves together. Specialty Bar Products uses alloy, stainless steel, and hi-nickel to ensure that these steel components assemble a machine ready to meet the rigorous demands of Oil & Gas power generation.
Machined Shafts from Alloy Steel Bar
Cylindrical grinding for alloy shafts
Specialty Bar Products uses alloy steel to machine shafts for the compressor assembly of the reciprocating compressor. Steel shafts are available in sizes ranging from 1” to 8” diameter by 8” to 144” in length. SBP machinists achieve extremely tight diameter tolerances through the application of cylindrical grinding.
Custom Machined Components
Valve holders, flanges, pistons, valve covers, liners, piston rods, and more
Specialty Bar Products is proud to manufacture custom steel components upon customer request. SBP’s most common custom components include flanges, valve holders, valve covers, pistons, piston rods, and liners. We make liners from either tubing or casting according to the requirements of our customers. Specialty Bar Products machines alloy steel or stainless steel bars to tight tolerances and exact specifications.

Specialty Bar Products in Action:
Oil & Gas Power Generation
The reciprocating compressor is also known as a positive displacement compressor. The machine uses a cylinder and a piston. As the piston is drawn one way, air is displaced into the chamber. The machine then decreases the chamber’s volume to compress the air by the piston’s movement in the opposite direction. The reciprocating compressor for Gas & Oil power generation is a machine that reaches extremely high pressures through a range of horse powers.
Specialty Bar Products manufactures the exceptional
parts from high-grade materials that ensure that reciprocating
compressors function at the highest possible level. When you need
superior components for power generation, Specialty Bar Products
provides close tolerances for high quality parts machined to your
exact specifications.
