What we can source

Hard-to-Find & Obsolete Part Requirements

Olympus Industrial Ltd can assess specialist sourcing requests using manufacturer references, model numbers, nameplate information, photographs, datasheets and previous equipment documentation supplied by the customer.

  • Discontinued industrial components
  • Legacy manufacturer part numbers
  • Obsolete automation and control components
  • Older electrical and mechanical spare parts
  • Specialist replacement components
  • Cross-reference and equivalent-product searches
  • Supplier searches using photographs and nameplates
  • Parts identified from historical documentation
Specialist sourcing

Working from the references you have.

Older equipment does not always have a current manufacturer listing or easily searchable product reference. Any available information can therefore help narrow the supplier search.

Part Number Original or previous manufacturer reference
Manufacturer Original equipment or component brand
Nameplate Equipment label, serial information or rating plate
Photographs Clear images of the component and connections
Datasheets Previous product literature or technical documentation
Application Equipment type and operating requirement
Cross-reference support

Superseded references and possible alternatives.

Where an original part is discontinued, available supplier information may identify a superseded model, replacement reference or technically comparable product.

Any proposed replacement should be clearly identified before an order is placed so that the buyer can review the relevant technical information.

Clear product identification

Original, superseded or alternative references.

Sourcing results can differ depending on product age, manufacturer support and market availability.

Where possible, quotations and supporting information should clearly state whether the proposed item matches the requested reference, represents a manufacturer supersession, or is being offered as an alternative for customer review.
