Surface finish.
Rods, shafts, axles.
We produce individual pieces or small series for you on our machining centers up to Ø 600 mm and a length of up to 400 mm. Machining up to Ø 200 mm and a length of up to 3,500 mm is possible on our lathes.
- Material quality
High-quality steel mill materials such as 20MnV6, 42CrMo4V, 16MnCr5, stainless steels such as 1.4571 or 1.4462, but also aluminum alloys or non-ferrous metals form the starting material for production.
- Design and engineering drawing
- We would be happy to take over the development and design for your individual machine element or manufacture according to your model. We use modern methods such as FEM calculations and CAD/CAM.
- Coating
Anodised aluminum, hardened steel, hard-chrome plated or with a nickel layer – as required by your application. Bronze and synthetic layers can be applied internally and externally as sliding surfaces.
Design.
We make the rod functional.
Be it as a precision shaft, axle, guide pillar or piston rod. As an integrated beam, guide rod or pressure-resistant distributor for supplying fluids under high pressure.
- Precision shaft
Whatever ends you want your shaft or rod to have, we offer you whatever you need: external thread, internal thread, pin, cylindrical or tapered shaft seat, radial bore or feather key groove, with wrench flats, square or hexagon.
- Functional rod
Connecting rods and piston rods with round or rectangular flanges, shafts with disks. One-piece, welded on at the end or in the middle. Trunnions flange with their special geometry are also no problem for us.
- Distributor axle
High-pressure resistant fluid distributors, drilled lengthways and crossways. With pipe threads or tapered threads for direct port connection of the supply line. If required, also with suitable sealing rings for direct installation in your machine housing.
Manufacturing technologies
Machined with state-of-the-art turning, drilling and milling centers. Finely machined by internal and external honeing, finishing and grinding. Solid, as a hollow shaft or with deep-hole drilling – in all common ISO fits. Below you will find our manufacturing technologies; thanks to our good partner network, we can also realize larger dimensions in the turning and milling area.
