Expertise in fluid technology and automation since 1948
KBW Blickle Hydraulik GmbH is a provider specialized in fluid technology and automation, with headquarters of Fierthbauer GmbH in Esslingen and a branch office in Villingen-Schwenningen. The company develops, manufactures and maintains hydraulic supply systems, hydraulic power units, hydraulic assemblies and central supply systems, including custom designs with drive power up to 190 kW and nominal pressures up to 350 bar. A key focus is on hydraulic test benches: development, production and noise measurement test benches for axial and radial piston machines, mobile container test benches for high-pressure components, and test benches built to ATEX directives. At its own service and testing center, hydraulic components and parts are tested on contract for function, endurance and leak-tightness. The portfolio is rounded out by automation technology, coolant supply systems, repair and service offerings, and distribution as a sales partner of Bosch Rexroth AG. Customers include companies from automotive and aviation engineering, machine tool manufacturing and the watchmaking industry.
