Civil Engineering & Infrastructure

We create lasting solutions to highly complex civil engineering challenges.

All civil engineering projects have one thing in common: They require extremely robust, powerful, and low-maintenance automation solutions. To build structures to last for centuries, and to operate them with ultimate availability for decades: Clients, designers and operators of civil engineering projects think long-term. We offer a globally unique and complete product portfolio. Furthermore you get application-related products of highest quality and with field-proven solutions. We clarify all interfaces, and in our system solutions we match components perfectly to each other.

Power Generation Cylinders

Generating power from dams is an important, environmentally-friendly way to produce power. A radial gate, also called a tainter gate, is commonly used in dams and other power generation machinery. Large hydraulic tainter gate cylinders open and close the gate smoothly. Because technology is constantly changing and improving, we use the newest cylinder measuring system to get the exact positioning of the tainter gate cylinders. These large hydraulic cylinders have a build-in mechanical locking system, ensuring that the radial gates stay closed when they need to be closed.

Moveable Bridge Cylinders

Because bridges connect places and people, facilitating transport and trade, movable bridges must fulfill special requirements: they must be reliable and durable, yet flexible. Our hydraulic systems combine high operational reliability and power density, along with compact design, fatigue strength, minimal maintenance, and excellent controllability. Like no other drive technology.
