Obsolete Mechanical Components

Obsolete Industrial, also known as OI, is a directory of industrial parts suppliers. We are a technology based business. The website was launched in 2008. Decades of maintenance experience provided enough evidence that obsolete mechanical parts continually made life difficult in the industrial environment. Our team consists of industrial maintenance technicians with a variety of mechanical and electrical backgrounds. We have been repairing, replacing and upgrading industrial controls and equipment for over twenty years.

We are a technology based organization. All parts and information contained on the site have been contributed by a community of industrialists. We do not warehouse parts and components, but provide a means for perspective buyers and sellers to achieve their goals.

Through a series of how-to articles along with basic theory and work experience, we have produced a system of methodical troubleshooting, parts location, and ultimately machine uptime. We encourage you to use the information contained at OI to your advantage, whether for obsolete mechanical components or any industrial maintenance issues.
