Our three divisions

We make it.
We service it.
We rebuild it.

Most suppliers do one piece, a parts house that can’t show up, a field crew that can’t make the part, or a rebuild shop with neither. We do all three: we machine the replacement component in our own shop, our crews install and maintain it in the substation, and we remanufacture the whole breaker when it’s time to rebuild. One source, one point of accountability, from the part to power-on.

Universal Gear Operator Replacement (UGOR), assembled unit at Southern Switch & Contacts facility
Patented · Florida Power & Light’s safety-standardized operator

Universal Gear Operator Replacement

Our patented UGOR replaces any traditional gear operator with no modification to the existing mounting structure, a worn or seized operator swapped in an hour or less. Florida Power & Light standardized it through their safety group as the only approved operator for all FPL switch installs and new station builds.

If it’s broken or discontinued,
we make it.

No catalog limits. When a part is obsolete or out of production, we reverse-engineer and fabricate it from a sample, a drawing, or a model number, machined to OEM spec, with material certification available on request. A parts supplier can only sell what’s on its shelf; our machine shop makes the part you actually need, any manufacturer, any vintage, no minimums.
