Specialized Application Engineering Teams
Each of our specialized engineering teams focuses on a specific application area.Fuel Transfer Pumps
Lubrication
Transmission Pumps
Fluid Power for Industrial/Mobile
Other Pumps and Systems
We're not just applying standard solutions. We're helping you design a successful, complete product solution; and then manufacturing the gerotors to fulfill it. This gives us a significant advantage when it comes to delivering competitive product value to you.
Using advanced engineering and optimization tools, our application teams analyze and design for the performance parameters of the entire pump and surrounding systems. We work collaboratively with our customers, in full confidentiality, providing end-to-end services from gerotor selection to validation of pump and system design.
Real-World Applications
The Nichols Portland engineering teams' experience in automotive, industrial and mobile
applications is reflected in the comprehensive testing capabilities we bring to each project. Our
capabilities include both in-house and portable, on-site lab facilities
for testing under actual field conditions. This allows us to test your gerotor system under
real-world, environmental extremes for all required performance, durability and efficiency
parameters.
Production Flexibility
Nichols Portland is the world's largest manufacturer of gerotors. We pioneered most of the
specialized powdered metal and metal cutting processes now used for gerotors. With these
capabilities, and our dedicated CNC machinery and complete heat-treating facilities, we can make
a single custom gerotor, small lot quantities or millions of precise sets, all with strict
adherence to quality standards, engineering specifications, costs and delivery schedules.
Process Control
Our manufacturing people work together with our quality planning and engineering teams to achieve
precise control of every step in the design/production process. From specialized process design
to in-house tool making, powder metal blending, production, packaging, and shipping, our focus
is on meeting or exceeding our customers' needs. We also work constantly to improve our advanced
quality and manufacturing systems to assure that we stay steps ahead of a demanding global
marketplace.
