Precision Structural Components Manufactured in Massachusetts
Atlantic Sintered – Engineered Powder Metallurgy for Global Structural Applications
Global Manufacturing Excellence, Rooted in Massachusetts
Atlantic Sintered, based in Massachusetts, has been a trusted name in structural component manufacturing since 1943. For over 80 years, we’ve specialized in producing complex, high-strength, tight-tolerance structural components using advanced powder metallurgy (PM) and secondary CNC machining technologies.
Our Massachusetts facility serves as the hub of our engineering innovation and global distribution—delivering custom components to OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers across North America, Europe, and Asia. With vertically integrated manufacturing and a commitment to precision, we provide scalable, high-performance solutions for the most demanding mechanical systems.
What Are Structural Components?
Structural components are the backbone of countless mechanical assemblies—parts designed to carry loads, connect mechanisms, transfer torque, or align systems. These components are often multi-level, tight-tolerance, and application-specific, requiring a combination of strength, dimensional accuracy, and long-term durability.
Our Powder Metallurgy Advantage
Powder metallurgy allows us to form intricate component geometries near-net shape, minimizing the need for extensive machining. This results in:
- Reduced material waste
- Lower total cost of ownership
- Superior dimensional repeatability
- Design flexibility for complex structures
For critical load-bearing components or compact, space-constrained designs, our sintered structural parts are the ideal choice.
Structural Components Engineered for Performance
Atlantic Sintered specializes in sintered structural components that are either net shape or processed with multiple secondary operations to meet strict tolerance and mechanical requirements. These parts often perform essential mechanical or alignment functions within a system—and failure is not an option.
Typical Structural Components We Manufacture:
- Couplings – Transfer torque and compensate for shaft misalignment
- Valve Actuators – Deliver rotational or linear motion for fluid and gas control
- Pulleys – Used in drive systems for torque transmission and alignment
- Appliance Transmission Components – Gear and clutch systems for home and commercial appliances
- Mounting Brackets – Designed to support mechanical loads or structural frames
- Pawls and Locking Mechanisms – Found in hand tools, ratchets, and safety systems
- Support Rings and Flanges – Engineered for stability and interface compatibility
These components can be found in everything from industrial automation systems and consumer appliances to off-highway equipment, power tools, and fluid control systems.
Advanced Materials and Secondary Operations
Every application has unique requirements. That’s why we work with a wide range of material systems, including:
- Iron-based alloys
- Stainless steel grades
- Copper-infiltrated materials
- High-lubricity formulations
- Heat-treated and hardened steels
Once sintered, components often require precision secondary operations, all of which are handled in-house at our Massachusetts facility.
In-House Capabilities:
- CNC Turning & Milling
- Drilling, Tapping, and Boring
- Surface and Centerless Grinding
- Honing and Lapping
- Threading and Slotting
- Welding and Assembly
- Resin Impregnation or Copper Infiltration (for sealing or strength enhancement)
This integrated approach allows us to deliver complete, application-ready components—reducing lead times, simplifying your supply chain, and ensuring total quality control.
Industries We Serve Around the World
Atlantic Sintered’s structural components are trusted by global brands and manufacturers in a wide range of industries. Our sintered parts are engineered to perform under stress, in motion, and in tight spaces—making them ideal for:
- Industrial Automation and Robotics
- Appliance and Consumer Goods
- Agriculture and Off-Highway Equipment
- Power Tools and Hardware Systems
- Automotive and Electric Vehicles
- Pneumatics and Fluid Power Systems
- Construction and Building Equipment
Whether you’re building a compact motorized assembly in Germany or a high-load valve system in India, our components deliver performance, reliability, and value at scale.
Structural Integrity Through Sintered Innovation
Our proprietary sintering processes and quality controls ensure that every structural component meets your expectations for strength, repeatability, and precision. Unlike cast or machined parts, our sintered components are designed with internal structures that improve fatigue life and reduce stress concentrations.
Key Advantages:
- Tight dimensional tolerances, often without post-machining
- High strength-to-weight ratio, ideal for mobile systems
- Custom material blends to fit your mechanical specs
- Optimized porosity control for sealing or lubrication
- Lower production cost compared to traditional machining
We also offer design for manufacturability (DFM) services to help convert your existing machined or cast parts to powder metal—without compromising performance.
