Materials

Engineered for Demanding Applications

Premium materials with performance you can rely on. Today the
cylinders are expected to work with high speed, high forces
without any problems during the application. Operating
temperature, sliding speed, media and the operating forces of
the system are important factors in choosing the guide element
to achieve these expectations.
Let’s Build the Right Solution Together

We can partner with you to find the best solution for your application.
