Industrial applications demand high levels of dimensional accuracy, surface quality and structural integrity. Winkelmann Components manufactures and machines precision tubes, cylinders, sleeves and further components to customer-specific requirements, in a wide range of materials. Whether in mechanical and plant engineering, pumps, medical applications, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, or specialized industrial processes: our manufacturing methods produce components that combine high precision with economical material use.

COOLING ROLLERS FOR THE STEEL INDUSTRY

Thanks to work hardening, these rollers feature outstanding surface hardness, resulting in less wear and longer service life. And minimal use of materials also contributes to greater economy.

PRECISION TUBES

You can rely on our high-precision tubes through thick and thin. We produce tubes with wall thicknesses ranging from 1.0 – 5.0 mm and sleeves with wall thicknesses from 0.1 to 1.0 mm. We achieve surface finish qualities of up to Ra = 0.1 µm with a diameter tolerance in the region of H7. A huge range of materials can be used for these super-thin tubes, including nickel-based alloys, stainless steel, nickel, aluminum, copper, niobium, tantalum and titanium. Our thin-walled precision tubes have a broad range of applications.

SLEEVES

Ultra-thin and ultra-strong: Electric motors rotate at up to 20,000 rpm. Our sleeves allow the motors to easily withstand the high centrifugal forces involved.

HOUSINGS & COMPONENTS

Seamlessly engineered: through flow forming and machining, we process sheet metal, preforms or forgings into conical, cylindrical or other housing shapes and products: for example canned motor pumps for vacuum applications, filter bowls, vessels for medical technology or pressure vessels of any kind. We work with stainless steel, nickel-based superalloys, aluminium and many other metals. Functional surfaces and flanges can already be integrated during the process, further streamlining production.

WEAR RINGS

Tough as nails: We use flowforming to manufacture high-strength wear rings with wall thicknesses < 0.3 mm. These repair sleeves are pressed onto the sealing surfaces of drive shafts, for example in ship propulsion systems. This delays wear by the sealing lip and thus reduces costly machine downtime. Work hardening increases the level of hardness throughout the cross-section of the corrosion-resistant stainless steel.

Technical gases, especially hydrogen, require components that can withstand high internal pressures, dynamic load cycles and stringent requirements for tightness and material integrity. Particularly in gas-carrying systems, storage solutions and high-pressure applications, reproducible geometries, uniform wall thicknesses and reliable surface quality are essential.

PRESSURE VESSELS

Under pressure? No problem. We manufacture high-strength pressure vessels and precision tubes for the transport and storage of hydrogen and technical gases. Designed for extreme pressure conditions, tight tolerances and reliable function in gas-carrying systems.

DRILL PIPES

Robust down to the last detail: for demanding drilling applications, we manufacture wear-resistant, high-strength cylindrical components. These include drill pipes and housings for measurement-while-drilling (MWD) systems, where dimensional accuracy, surface quality and load capacity are critical.

PROTECTIVE TUBES

Protection that works with you: our rotationally symmetrical tubes and housings reliably protect sensitive drilling electronics, pump systems and technical components from mechanical stress. Optimized for long service life, high stability and use under demanding conditions.
