Hydraulic and pneumatic components

Chemical and media-resistant storage technology for pumps, meters, etc.

Hydraulic and pneumatic components give machinery and equipment power, precision, speed and dynamics. The demands on the installed machine elements are correspondingly high!

The range of uses for plain bearings, spherical bearings and linear guides or lead screws in fluid technology is constantly increasing. They are also proving their worth in fittings and valves.

From simple linear movements to fast rotating applications, they offer high wear and abrasion resistance, chemical and temperature resistance as well as freedom from maintenance when running dry.
