Advantages of using OEM spare parts

During the process of repair and replacement of worn parts in machinery, there will be more than one option to acquire them. The most prominent will be the original and OEM.

The original parts will keep significant advantages compared to other types of spare parts, despite the high cost it maintains the product guarantee in 100% of the cases, however, the OEM parts can provide substantial benefits maintaining equipment in optimal conditions.

OEM spare parts will be those that have been manufactured by companies supplying parts to the original equipment manufacturer company but that have obtained a parts supply contract and that subsequently put the same elements on the market at a lower cost than the so-called original part. Maintaining the same quality control in their products. In other words, they will be structurally identical but with the difference of not having the name of the original brand.

The main reasons for purchasing this type of spare part will be:

1.-Cost of the parts: The parts called OEM contain all the functional specifications that an original part could provide, as well as the physical and chemical properties of the material provided by the equipment manufacturing company. The significant difference will be low cost and lower cost of ownership

2.- Functionality: The OEM parts are those that meet the specifications required by the equipment manufacturer for a replacement but manufactured by an external company that obtained a contract with equipment manufacturers for specific parts, ensuring adaptability and functionality.

3.-General equipment warranty: OEM replacement parts, unlike aftermarket parts, usually maintain the equipment warranty with the manufacturer in case of future failures in the replaced element and associated parts. This may be because all components meet the requirements and standards necessary for the company in charge of the original equipment assembly.

4.-OEM-type parts provide the same safety for the equipment and its operator compared to an original one, as they are manufactured following a standard set by the original equipment company.
