Original design, backed by analysis.
Stockwell Engineering and Design is a mechanical design and analysis practice in Cudahy, Wisconsin. We provide senior-level mechanical engineering, from concept through production release, with the analysis and testing to back it up.
What we do
Bolted and fastened joints
Threaded joint analysis to VDI 2230, backed by torque-to-turn mapping, ultrasonic bolt elongation and load-cell spring rate testing. Tightening specs come out validated, not assumed.
Fluid circuits and fluid movers
Pump, fan, blower and vacuum system design. We measure how your system moves fluid, then pair it with the right fluid mover.
Original design
Concept through production release, including castings, sheet metal, weldments and large structural frames.
Analysis and validation
FEA for overload, fatigue and modal concerns, GD&T and tolerance stack analysis, DFMEA, test planning and root cause analysis.
How we work
Most engagements open with a bounded first project: a joint review, a torque spec audit, or a design review of a drawing package. It tells you quickly whether we are useful to you.
- Work under your NDA
- Hourly or fixed-fee billing
- Your engineers trained as we go
Behind the work
Patrick Stockwell, P.E. (Wisconsin), Dipl.-Ing., MSOE, leads every engagement.
Fifteen years in industrial power generation and power tool development: 271 original designs to prototype, 147 to production, and six granted U.S. patents with seven more pending.
Fastening technology training under Bengt Blendulf. Patrick built a fastener lab from scratch and has trained dozens of engineers on the subject.
