Hydraulic and pneumatic components

Chemical and media-resistant storage technology for pumps, meters

Hydraulic and pneumatic systems provide machinery with the power, precision, speed and dynamic performance required for demanding industrial processes. As a result, the components used within these systems must meet exceptionally high mechanical and environmental requirements.

Plain bearings, spherical bearings, linear guides and lead screws are being used more widely across fluid‑technology applications, where they continue to demonstrate their reliability in fittings, valves and a growing range of motion‑control tasks. Whether supporting straightforward linear movements or high‑speed rotational operations, these components deliver outstanding wear and abrasion resistance, strong chemical and temperature tolerance and maintenance‑free performance when operating dry.

Less wear on the piston rod pin

Our chemical and temperature-resistant iglidur® X plain bearings are used in the ecoflow diaphragm metering pumps from LEWA. Installed in the drive unit, they minimise wear on the piston rod pin and are fully water proof

Alternative to brass bushings

In its special hydraulic cylinders, the Chapel Group relies on iglidur® G plain bearings. The bearings we offer have short delivery times, significantly more economical compared to brass ones used and, with diameters of 20 to 45 mm and are weatherproof.
