Hydraulics & Pneumatics: Precision cast parts from SBV Stahltechnik
Hydraulic and pneumatic systems, manufactured using traditional methods, are under high pressure and quickly reach their limits. At SBV Stahltechnik, we solve these challenges with precision cast parts for hydraulic and pneumatic applications, delivering components with smooth surfaces, exact tolerances, and a manufacturing process that ensures permanently tight systems.
Why precision casting is indispensable for hydraulics & pneumatics
Components in hydraulic and pneumatic applications are permanently under pressure and must safely conduct media such as oil, compressed air, or hydraulic fluid. Added to this are fluctuating temperatures and mechanical stresses due to changing pressure cycles. Welded or milled transitions pose a risk here, as they can crack under continuous load, sealing surfaces become inaccurate, or leaks occur.
Our precision cast parts, on the other hand, are produced in a single casting process, where radii and complex geometries are directly formed. Weld seams and additional processing steps are often completely eliminated. This ensures uniform material properties across the entire cross-section, shortens assembly times, and reduces the risk of leaks. At the same time, the service life of the assemblies is increased because the components remain stable even under high pressure peaks.
Typical precision cast parts for hydraulics & pneumatics
Valve bodies and housings
Valve bodies and housings are created with tight tolerances in precision casting. These ensure tight transitions and extend the service life of assemblies.
Connectors and distributors
We manufacture connectors with precise geometry. They guarantee tight connections to lines, valves, or housings and facilitate integration into existing systems.
Nozzles
Nozzles manufactured in precision casting are characterized by complex internal contours and high repeatability. This results in precise spray patterns, optimized flow rates, and a permanently reliable function even under high pressure.
Pump and cylinder parts
We cast components for pumps and cylinders in hydraulics and pneumatics to withstand high pressure loads. Smooth surfaces support sealing and reduce wear.
Connecting elements and adapters
Adapters and couplings are produced with casting-compatible precision fit. They withstand loads and shorten assembly times.

SBV Stahltechnik: Your partner for precision cast parts in hydraulics & pneumatics
Processing according to specifications
We thoroughly review drawings and 3D data and, if necessary, develop optimizations for the geometry for optimal precision casting results. This results in assembly-ready parts that fit precisely into your systems.
Plants in Asia for cost-effective production of TOP parts
Each foundry location houses over 100 CNC machining centers and more than 20,000 square meters of production space are available.
Technical consultation
We advise on geometry, material selection, and casting-compatible design. With us, you speak directly with experts.
Certified processes
Our production plants are certified according to IATF 16949, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and ISO 50001. We thus meet the highest standards for quality, environment, and occupational safety.
Logistics with planning reliability
We align deliveries flexibly to your needs, whether on-call, interim storage, or complete batch. This ensures continuous supply and avoids production downtime.
Hardening plant in Germany
Our hardening plant increases the surface hardness of stainless steel without reducing its corrosion resistance. As a result, the components withstand friction, saltwater, and mechanical continuous loads.
Your advantages with our precision cast parts
High pressure resistance
The homogeneous microstructure in precision casting evenly distributes loads across the entire component. As a result, precision cast parts withstand extreme pressure peaks and ensure long service life.
Dense surfaces
The smooth casting skin prevents microcracks that could otherwise lead to leaks. Thus, hydraulic and pneumatic systems remain permanently tight and operate without failures.
Precision manufacturing
We manufacture components with tight tolerances that can be directly integrated into existing systems without rework. This saves time in assembly and reduces the reject rate during operation.
Economic series
Precision casting is suitable for small, medium, and large series in hydraulics and pneumatics. You benefit from consistent components that we deliver assembly-ready and with which you can keep your production costs predictable.

How a project with SBV Stahltechnik proceeds
We accompany every project in precision casting from the first contact to the finished delivery. Our goal is a precise, economically sensible solution that integrates reliably into your processes. The process is clearly structured and coordinated by a dedicated contact person.
Inquiry and initial review
You send us a drawing and 3D data, preferably with material request, quantity, and information about the application area. We check the technical feasibility and provide you with an initial assessment.
Consultation and offer phase
We clarify open questions, advise on casting and manufacturing feasibility, and, if necessary, select the suitable stainless steel grade together with you. You then receive a non-binding offer with delivery time, tool costs, and project planning.
Tool making and sample production
After commissioning, a final simulation is carried out to ensure an optimal casting process. We create the wax tool and produce initial samples for dimensional inspection, functional evaluation, and approval.
Series approval and production
After your approval, we start series production. The components are cast, mechanically processed, and/or heat-treated as required, before being packed ready for dispatch after final inspection.
Delivery as needed
The finished precision cast parts are delivered on-call, in fixed batch sizes, or as a complete batch. Interim storage in Germany is possible if needed.
