Pneumatic Solutions Designed with Tomorrow's Requirements in Mind
The requirements for industrial materials are changing. RoHS, REACH, sustainability, and material transparency are becoming increasingly important.
SFS actively engages with these developments and incorporates new materials into the design and implementation of pneumatic solutions.
As a manufacturer of custom pneumatic solutions tailored to customer specifications, it is particularly important for us to identify new trends and customer requirements early on and incorporate them into our solutions. Together with our customers, we analyze individual product requirements and use them to develop the right solution.
Custom pneumatic solutions from SFS optimize product costs while minimizing space requirements. In addition, we tailor the technical specifications to perfectly match the specific requirements.
Our capabilities range from enhancing existing standard products to the complex development of custom solutions. We develop and manufacture everything from cylinders, valves, and pressure regulators to complex valve blocks that integrate a wide variety of functions.
We cover the entire spectrum, from development through machining and assembly to customer-specific labeling and packaging. We deliver a product that is 100% tested and tailored to your requirements.
This flexibility is also evident in the selection and combination of suitable materials.
BRASS – LEAD-FREE & LOW-LEAD
Brass remains an important material in pneumatics. At the same time, demand for lead-free or low-lead alloys is increasing.
At SFS, we primarily use the following brass grades with a lead content below 0.1%:
- CW724R
- CW510L / Pb01
In doing so, we consider the requirements for RoHS compliance and rely on suitable lead-free or low-lead material grades.
✓ Lead content in accordance with RoHS under 0,1%
✓ RoHS Requirement Considered
✓ REACH-Compliant Material Selection
✓ proven technical characteristics
In this way, we combine the requirements of modern material standards with reliable pneumatics.
ALUMINUM – LIGHTWEIGHT & VERSATILE
Aluminum offers interesting possibilities for modern pneumatic designs.
Its light weight, ease of machining, and versatility make aluminum an important material for lightweight construction and efficient solutions.
At SFS, we primarily use the following aluminum alloys:
- EN AW 6026LF
- EN AW 6082
- EN AW 5083
- EN AW 2033
When it comes to aluminum, it is also important to comply with RoHS requirements. The lead content must be less than 0.1%, unless a relevant RoHS exemption applies.
In addition to the materials mentioned, we are always open to new challenges and other materials—depending on customer requirements and specific applications.
WHAT DRIVES THE MATERIALS MARKET?
In addition to brass and aluminum, we are paying particular attention to:
- Lead-free and low-lead materials
- Lightweight construction and material savings
- Recyclability and sustainability
- Transparent documentation of materials and compliance
- New material grades and stable supply chains
