01 · Application overview

Profiles that hold pressure.

Hydraulic and pneumatic applications impose strict requirements on dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and mechanical consistency that go well beyond standard extrusion tolerances. Banco's fluid power profile range is manufactured with these demands at the centre of process design, starting with using multiple alloys made in our in-house casting facility with controlled composition for predictable strength and fatigue performance.

Our cold drawing facility converts extruded tubes and rod profiles to achieve bore and OD tolerances tighter than H8. Concentricity between bore and OD is controlled and verified dimensionally on every production batch.

02 · Profile types

Hydraulics and pneumatics profiles.

Hydraulic cylinder tubes

Seamless extruded and cold-drawn cylinder tube profiles in 6082-T6, with honed bore available and tight OD and wall thickness tolerances for reliable seal engagement.

Valve manifold profiles

Solid and semi-hollow manifold block extrusions with pre-ported geometry, machined from extruded stock for dimensional consistency and reduced wastage.

Pneumatic actuator bodies

Round and square pneumatic cylinder body extrusions in 6061 and 6082, with an anodised bore surface for low friction and long seal life.

Pump housing extrusions

Flanged and unflanged pump body extrusions with close concentricity between bore and outer diameter for gear pump and vane pump applications.

Cylinder rod profiles

Cold-drawn solid round bar in 6082-T6 for hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder rod applications; hardness and surface finish stay consistent across the full bar length.

Porting manifold sections

Multi-port distribution manifold extrusions for hydraulic circuit construction, supplied as extruded stock for customer drilling and porting.

High pressure booster pump

High-pressure booster pumps require high-quality extrusions with excellent seam welding to ensure reliable performance. We manufacture these extrusion profiles with the required strength, dimensional accuracy, and robust weld joints to meet demanding applications.

03 · Alloys

Alloy selection for fluid power applications.

6063

This alloy offers excellent extrudability, smooth surface finish, corrosion resistance, seam weldability, and adequate strength for high-pressure applications in pneumatic devices.

6061, 6082

These alloys deliver superior strength, durability, corrosion resistance, and structural integrity, making them suitable for demanding high-pressure applications on hydraulic devices.

Cold drawn products

Cold-drawn aluminium provides higher strength, tighter tolerances, improved surface finish, straightness and dimensional stability. It is ideal for high-pressure components requiring reliable sealing and consistent wall thickness.

04 · Quality & certifications

Dimensional traceability for pressure-rated parts.

Every hydraulic and pneumatic profile batch is supplied with dimensional inspection reports covering bore diameter, OD, wall thickness, concentricity, and straightness. Material test certificates confirm chemical composition and mechanical properties. For cold-drawn profiles, hardness testing is performed after drawing to confirm consistent through-section properties.
