About Foltas Hydraulik
Foltas Hydraulik GmbH is a family-owned company from Paderborn that has been manufacturing, repairing and servicing hydraulic cylinders for over 40 years. Its service portfolio includes new production based on samples and drawings, special cylinders as well as repair and maintenance of existing cylinders including seal replacement, piston rod reconditioning and final inspection. In addition, the company offers CNC contract manufacturing with turning up to Ø 400 mm and through-feed up to 5 m, milling and welded constructions (MIG, MAG, TIG, arc welding) from single pieces to small series. The product range includes five standard designs (single- and double-acting, synchronous, block and heavy-duty cylinders) with piston diameters of 25 to 100 mm and operating pressures up to 250 bar; special versions with piston diameters up to 400 mm are possible. Materials include hard-chromed steel C60 for piston rods, St 52 for cylinder tubes, spheroidal cast iron for pistons and bronze for piston rod guides. Specialized coatings such as ceramic and plastic coating, thermal spraying and plasma cladding are offered via a partner network. Customers come from industries such as wood and steel processing, plastics and stone processing, mining, power plants, water management and renewable energies.
