Services
Hydraulic Manifold Manufacturing
We design and produce precision hydraulic manifolds from aluminum and ductile iron for industrial applications. Our manufacturing process incorporates CAD engineering, CNC machining, and quality control testing to ensure optimal performance. Clients receive durable components that meet exact specifications for pressure systems in agriculture, construction, and heavy machinery.
CNC Turned Components
Our CNC lathe division creates turned parts including pilot pistons, gland nuts, and cavity plugs. We handle production runs from 10 to 1,000+ units with tight tolerances. These components complement manifold systems for complete hydraulic solutions in standard and specialized applications across multiple industries.
Thermal Deburring
We employ thermal deburring technology to remove all chip debris from manifold cavities and flow passages. This process ensures clean, burr-free components that meet quality standards for hydraulic systems. The result is ready-to-assemble manifolds that reduce client assembly time and improve system reliability.
Surface Plating
We coordinate aluminum anodizing and zinc plating services to enhance manifold durability and aesthetics. Our plating partners apply finishes that improve corrosion resistance and surface hardness. These treatments extend component lifespan in demanding environments while maintaining dimensional accuracy for hydraulic applications.
Custom Design Engineering
Our engineering team converts client schematics into functional manifold designs. We optimize fluid pathways, recommend material selections, and suggest performance improvements. This service supports custom solutions for unique hydraulic challenges while maintaining compatibility with existing system components and industry standards.
