The selection of materials in the design process wields immense influence over efficiency, longevity, and cost-effectiveness in pump systems. Currently, brass and bronze are the go-to choices, but their utilization is often empirical, neglecting crucial factors like material properties, geometry (including the thickness of brass layers), surface finish, and thermal impacts.

With Caspar FSTI—an invaluable tool in the decision-making process- we can bridge the knowledge gap by guiding material selection and designing components tailored to your chosen materials.

The impending EU Regulations (REACH & RoHs) add a new layer of complexity, necessitating the removal of lead from all components in the near future. This shift introduces fresh challenges, especially when these components work with electric motors.

SHS is here to illuminate this often murky terrain. Whether with or without surface structures, we offer solutions to address these emerging issues. We bring clarity to the intricate world of materials in tribological lubricating gaps, ensuring your hydraulic systems not only comply with regulations but also operate at peak efficiency, longevity, and cost-effectiveness."
