Industries / Turbine & rotating equipment
Turbine tooling engineered for the shop, the outage, and the field.
Gas and steam turbines for power generation. Lift and handling tooling, rotor and engine stands, repair fixtures, and inspection gages, built and validated in-house.

Across the turbine lifecycle
Assembly, outage, overhaul, repair: tooling for every stage of a turbine’s life
We build for turbine OEMs, independent service providers, repair and coating shops, and utilities with their own outage crews.
New unit assembly
Lifts, stands, rotor stacking and assembly tools, and machining fixtures for new-build lines.
Component repair
Repair, weld and coating fixtures, plus the gages that confirm the repair.
Outage field service
Portable lifts, pullers, guide pins, jacking kits and field machining heads.
Component supply chain
Coating and masking fixtures, component lifts and bearing liners for suppliers.
Wind service
Up-tower and ground service tooling, gearbox tooling and blade tooling.
01 / Recurring problems
What turbine teams bring us
01
The outage window cannot slip
Disassembly, repair, and reassembly have to fit a fixed window, often with tooling that has to be designed from field measurements.
02
Heavy, high-value components have to move safely
Rotors, casings, and assemblies need engineered lifting, rotation, and support hardware rated for the load.
03
The same repair repeats across a fleet
Service teams need matching, controlled tooling from site to site and outage to outage.
04
Inspection has to match the requirement
Gages and fixtures must check the characteristics that decide acceptance, quickly and repeatably.
05
Original tooling is missing or worn out
Legacy hardware has to be recovered, re-engineered, and documented so it can be built again.
06
Shop and field tooling have to agree
Hardware built in the shop has to work the same way when it arrives at the site.
02 / Relevant applications
Where Springfield hardware goes to work
Lifting & rigging
Lift beams and fixtures for rotors, casings, and major assemblies.
Outage & field-service tooling
Disassembly and repair hardware built around the service window.
Repair & machining fixtures
Fixturing that holds components for repair, machining, and rework.
Inspection gages & fixtures
Custom gages and inspection fixtures for turbine components.
Bearing liners
Hydrostatic and lathe bearing liners for rotor machining and balancing; re-babbitting managed through a qualified partner.
03 / Solution combinations
Families combine on real turbine jobs
Most turbine work draws on more than one solution category. These are the combinations we see most.
04 / Wind
Every hour a turbine stands still is lost power.
Up-tower service tools, pullers, generator parts, and gearbox and hub tooling that get wind turbines back online. A crew that climbs with the wrong tool means another climb and another day of lost output. Our wind tools are built to work the first time, at height, in the nacelle.
Pullers and pin insertion tools
Generator wye rings and plated hardware kits
Hub lifts and gearbox lifts
Gearbox support stands
Service tool repair and modification
05 / Featured proof
Five decades of turbine tooling.
13,100 turbine tool designs since 1977, from lift beams rated to 340 tons to the gages that confirm a repair. Ask an engineer for relevant examples under NDA.
06 / Quality, logistics & support
Built here, supported there
About one job in eight is repair or recertification. We stand behind tooling after it ships.
01
Engineering accountability
PE certification available, with documentation delivered with the hardware.
02
Logistics
Crating and shipping for domestic and international service sites.
03
Field support
Engineers travel to site to measure, fit, and support the work when the job calls for it.
07 / Terminology & FAQ
Plain answers
Outage window
The scheduled period a unit is offline for inspection and repair. Tooling has to fit inside it.
Lift beam
An engineered below-the-hook device that carries a load from one or more pick points.
Rotor stand
A support that holds a rotor safely for inspection, repair, or rotation.
Re-babbitt
Relining a bearing with babbitt metal to restore it to service.
Do you work on gas or steam turbines?
Both. Our turbine work centers on gas and steam turbines for power generation.
Who do you work with?
Our turbine projects include work for equipment manufacturers and for field service providers.
Can you build to an OEM’s standards?
Yes. When a customer specifies its own standards, we design and build to them.
Do I need a finished drawing to start?
No. A part, a photo, a sketch, a failed process, or a plain description of the problem is enough to begin. Engineering helps define what the hardware needs to become.
Can you work under an NDA?
Yes. An NDA is available on request before you share details.
How do I send drawings?
Not through this website. Start an RFQ and we reply with a secure upload link. All drawings and specs move through that link to keep them confidential.
The design does not have to be finished before we talk.
Bring us a requirement, application, existing tool, photo, sketch, component, or drawing.
Path 1
Talk with an engineer
Describe the application or problem. No drawing needed.
Path 2
Send an RFQ
Have a drawing or spec? Start an RFQ and we’ll send you a secure link to transfer it, so your files stay confidential.
