CNC Machining for Fluid Power and Pneumatics

The fluid power and pneumatics industry is the backbone of modern automation, powering everything from massive industrial machinery to delicate robotic systems. At the heart of these powerful and precise systems are components that demand absolute reliability, leakfree performance, and exceptional dimensional accuracy. This is where advanced CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining becomes not just a manufacturing choice, but a strategic necessity.

The Critical Role of Precision in Fluid Power

Components like valve bodies, pneumatic cylinders, manifolds, and pump housings are the control centers of fluid power systems. Their internal pathways, ports, and sealing surfaces must be machined to micronlevel tolerances. Any imperfection—a slight deviation in a bore, a surface finish that is too rough, or a misaligned port—can lead to catastrophic failures, including internal and external leaks, pressure drops, and reduced system efficiency. CNC machining excels in this environment. By utilizing multiaxis milling and turning centers, we can produce complex internal geometries, crossholes, and intricate manifolds from a single block of material. This eliminates potential leak paths common in assemblies made from multiple pieces, ensuring structural integrity and superior pressure containment.

Material Expertise for Demanding Applications

The operating conditions for pneumatic and hydraulic components are incredibly diverse, ranging from standard factory floors to corrosive or hightemperature environments. Selecting the right material is paramount. Our CNC machining services work with a wide range of materials suited for fluid power:

Aluminum Alloys: Lightweight, corrosionresistant, and offering excellent machinability, ideal for pneumatic cylinders and valve bodies.
Stainless Steels (e.g., 303, 304, 316): Provide superior strength and outstanding resistance to corrosion, making them perfect for hydraulic components and applications involving moisture or aggressive media.
Brass and Bronze: Often used for fittings, valves, and seals due to their good corrosion resistance and natural lubricity.
Engineering Plastics (e.g., PEEK, Delrin): Used for specific applications requiring lightweight, selflubricating, or nonmagnetic properties.



Driving Efficiency and Innovation

Beyond precision, CNC machining offers significant advantages that drive business growth for our clients in the fluid power sector. The process allows for rapid prototyping, drastically reducing the time from design to a functional test unit. For production, it ensures unparalleled consistency across small to medium batch runs, guaranteeing that every single part performs identically. Furthermore, our ability to consolidate multiple components into a single, complex CNCmachined part simplifies your supply chain, reduces assembly time, and lowers the total cost of ownership.
