Industry scenario: pressure-bearing precision with surface coordination

Hydraulic and pneumatic components combine pressure-bearing geometry with surfaces that must cooperate with seals and coatings: valve blocks need flat, port-accurate milled faces; piston and rod end parts need grinding-ready precision before hard chrome plating; connectors need clean Swiss-turned threads and sealing geometry.

The sourcing pattern is recurring series across a few core families, with surface treatment (hard chrome, zinc, anodizing) coordinated as part of the process chain so that the finished part arrives assembly-ready.

Seal-seat geometry and surface values are the critical-to-function features and are confirmed per drawing before sampling.

Workflow: drawing, sample approval and recurring series

The standard flow: drawing review and quotation within 48 hours, first samples in 7–15 days, first article inspection and approval, then series production against the approved reference. Batch sizes follow the table above — from single spare parts to tens of thousands of pieces per order, depending on the component family.

For repeat orders, tooling, program revisions and inspection records are kept on file, so call-offs remain consistent with the approved first article. Engineering changes — material substitutions, tolerance updates, packaging changes — are handled as controlled changes against the same records.

Quality and documentation

DIN ISO 2768-mK applies as the default tolerance scheme for unspecified dimensions. EN 10204 3.1 inspection certificates are standard for metallic parts, First Article Inspection supports the approval step, and RoHS/REACH declarations are available where required. Surface treatment, cleanliness and packaging requirements are confirmed per drawing.

FAQ

Can you coordinate hard chrome plating on piston parts?
Yes — grinding before plating and final inspection after are part of the coordinated process chain.

What valve block sizes can you mill?
Blocks in aluminum and steel within our 3–5 axis milling envelope; port geometry and flatness are drawing-driven.

Which connector volumes fit your Swiss lines?
2,000–20,000 pieces per order is the typical range for hydraulic connectors.

How are seal seats specified?
Per drawing — seal-seat geometry and surface roughness are confirmed as critical-to-function features before sampling.
