Pumps and valves
Pump housings, impellers, valve bodies, bonnets and stems. Typical processes are sand casting and investment casting in EN-GJS-400-15, G17CrMo5-5, 1.4408 and bronze, followed by CNC machining and pressure testing.
Hydraulics and pneumatics
Manifolds and blocks, cylinder parts, spools, pistons and bushings. Typical processes are CNC milling, CNC turning and CNC grinding in EN-GJS-400-15, 42CrMo4, 16MnCr5 and EN AW-6082, with bushings from continuous casting.
Rail
Brackets, housings, bushings and machined parts for rolling stock and infrastructure. Typical processes are sand casting, forging and CNC machining. Rail projects often specify welding and fire protection standards; we select manufacturers accordingly where required.
Material handling
Wheel and roller hubs, shafts, brackets and plastic wear parts for conveyors, forklifts and cranes. Typical processes are forging, laser cutting and engineering plastics.
Industrial automation and robotics
Machined aluminium frames and plates, precision shafts and plastic guides for automation equipment and robot cells. Typical processes are CNC milling, CNC turning and engineering plastics in EN AW-6082, 1.4301 and POM-C.
Marine
Propeller hubs, bushings, pump and valve parts and fittings in corrosion-resistant materials such as CuAl10Fe5Ni5-C and 1.4408. Typical processes are centrifugal casting, sand casting and CNC machining.
Quality and documentation
Parts are supplied with a material certificate to EN 10204 3.1 and a dimensional report, plus pressure test, non-destructive testing or coating reports where the specification requires them. More on the quality page.
Drawings are sent to manufacturers only after your company name and logo have been removed. Request a quote.
Frequently asked questions
Do you supply pressure-tested pump and valve bodies?
Yes. Pump and valve bodies are cast, machined and pressure or leak tested to the test pressure and medium on your drawing, and the results are documented.
Which parts do you supply for hydraulics?
Hydraulic manifolds and blocks, cylinder parts such as rod eyes, pistons and glands, valve spools and bushings. Spools and pistons are usually hardened and ground.
Can you supply plastic parts for automation and material handling?
Yes. Guides, rollers, star wheels and wear strips in POM-C, PA6 and PE-UHMW are machined or injection moulded.
