PSM designs and manufactures fully OEM-compatible airfoils and DLN combustion components for the GE 6B, 7B/EA, 7FA and 9E (combustion components only) machines as well as the Siemens (Westinghouse) 501F families.
At its core, PSM has a team of designers, engineers and manufacturers with experience spanning land-based combustion turbines, electrical generation and military and aerospace technology. Taken together, we believe our expertise is matched only by the most advanced OEMs.
Unlike typical aftermarket companies, PSM doesn't merely copy existing systems and components. Instead, we analyze them, model them, redesign them and, ultimately, we improve them. PSM engineers hold more than 60 U.S. patents with additional patent applications pending in the U.S. Patent Office.
Once developed, we validate our components in turbines owned by our development partners before we make them available to the general market. This technological understanding and unique perspective have helped us become the #1 aftermarket engineering and manufacturing company in the heavy industrial turbine market.
PSM equips our engineers with state-of-the-art analytical and design tools. These include ANSYS™ finite element modeling for structural, vibration and heat transfer; FLUENT™ and FIELDVIEW™ for computational fluid dynamics; AFT™ for fluid networking; AXIAL™ for aerodynamics; and the latest high speed laser technology coupled with FARO™ and POLYWORKS™ for 3D scanning of components. These tools allow our engineers to characterize, analyze, design and proof components in a thorough and timely manner so PSM can respond to and support our customers needs.
PSM's supply chain is comprised of ISO-certified manufacturers in the U.S. and Western Europe. These suppliers all work to detailed PSM specifications under on-site technical support from our manufacturing engineers. The qualification and selection of our suppliers and their adherence to our strict development guidelines allow us to maintain the quality of our components. PSM's supplier base employs many state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques including solidification modeling at casting, design of experiments and statistical process control to ensure faster development cycles and faster times to market.
