High-quality special steel – the key to a low-maintenance hydraulic system with a long service life
The pressures in hydraulic equipment can often exceeds 500 bar. When continuous track vehicles or tractors are moving heavy loads, enormous forces are acting on all of the mechanical components – down to the smallest connector. As the importance of the hydraulics sector continues to grow, so too does its importance for us as a manufacturer of special steel solutions. For mobile heavy machinery and hydraulic equipment, the critical factor is achieving the right interplay between efficiency and productivity. Steeltec develops precisely customized material solutions for these types of heavy-duty applications.
High-strength steels that can withstand pressure pulses and varying forces
Our ETG® and HSX® special steels are a guarantee of premium quality and added value in robust industrial hydraulic systems. They are ideally suited for the manufacture of machine components that will be subjected to high static loads, pressure pulses and fluctuating forces. These sorts of components are found in the pumps, compressors and valves used in excavators, bulldozers and other heavy-duty construction vehicles. Our customers benefit from hydraulic systems with a long service life and low maintenance demands. Both ETG® and HSX® steels exhibit excellent machinability combined with high strength. As a result, our customers can fabricate components with outstanding precision and in a resource-efficient manner – given them a clear market advantage in the hydraulics sector.
