Example:
High-speed shafts for turbines and pumps.

Requirement:
Highest run-out accuracy, minimal imbalance, smallest tolerances.

The K&V. solution: Manufacturing process developed by K&V, in which the material is specially heat-treated, leveled and balanced several times. Additional surface treatment against wear and tear. By the way: We manufacture shafts up to a length of 11 meters.

K&V. So that everything runs smoothly.

All types of shafts, rotors and axles / perfect and low-vibration operation even under extreme conditions and high temperature differences / all materials / highest safety standards / all special cases: 11-meter-long shafts, rotors of several tons, eccentric shafts weighing several hundred kilos, shafts with gearings, thin pump shafts for 80’000 rpm / special coatings such as hip / low temperature treatments

Example:
High-speed rolls with optimal pressing force at the highest back pressure.

Requirement:
Ground in the µ range and balanced in milligrams

The K&V solution: Special settings developed by K&V in combination with the highest level of material know-how enable unprecedentedly precise production of the most complicated roll products.
By the way: Our special process when assembling the roll body and roll shaft detects > PDF (in german)

press rolls / deflection rolls / roll cylinders / cutting shafts / roll journals / roll revisions / heating rolls / double-walled rolls / metering rolls / glue rolls / suction rolls / drive rolls / backup rolls / grooved rolls / notched rolls / straightening rolls / intermediate rolls / laminating rolls / thermal laminating rolls / squeeze rolls / pan rolls
pressure rolls / preheating rolls / tension measuring rolls / spreading rolls / brush rolls / vacuum rolls / calender rolls / tensioning rolls / smoothing rolls / spreading rolls / regulating rolls / engraving rolls / application rolls / silicone rolls / laboratory rolls

Example:
Large engine housing milled from solid material

Requirement:
Highest surface quality, complex geometry

The K&V solution: The K&V solution: Our competence in 3D programming and K&V-optimized processes for tool use and machining guarantee perfect results for complex geometries with inaccessible bores and millings.
By the way: milling is not everything. That is why we provide you with preparatory or further processing such as high-precision turning, gearing, heat and cryogenic (thermal) treatments from a single source.

K&V. So that everything runs smoothly

most complex geometries / open and clossed impellers / inducers / 3D spacers / dies for hip joints / compressor and turbine wheels / rim adapters / high-precision preliminary and / or further processing such as (precision) turning, teething, Heat and cryogenic (thermal) treatments / express service for test pieces and prototypes

Example:
Plain bearings for hydropower plants

Requirement:
guaranteed regular oil film with irregular loads

The K&V solution: With its own foundry and coating posibilities, plain bearings have been produced and tested in-house for over 40 years. The K&V special knowledge acquired thereby enables a finishing that allows the plain bearings to function perfectly even with irregular and unforeseeable loads.
