Precision Engineered For Your Application

When standard hydraulic fittings do not meet your application requirements, Air-Way works directly with OEM engineers to develop a custom solution. We review your specifications, application requirements, and performance needs to determine the right approach before production.

From modifying an existing fitting to developing a completely custom component, our team supports the process from engineering review and prototyping through testing and production.

Hydraulic Fitting Engineering & Design

As an ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified manufacturer, Air-Way provides engineering support for custom hydraulic fittings used in demanding applications. Our engineers work directly with your team to review specifications, identify potential challenges, and develop a solution that fits your system.

We provide:

Application and specification review

Direct collaboration with OEM engineers

CAD/CAM design and 3D models

Modifications to existing fittings and adapters

Rapid prototyping

Support from concept through production

Balancing Cost, Lead Time & Performance

Custom fitting development involves decisions about materials, performance, tolerances, manufacturing requirements, and cost. Air-Way works with your team to evaluate these factors and determine the right balance for your application.

Key considerations include:

Material and operating environment

Pressure and temperature requirements

Port configurations and thread forms

Tolerances and manufacturability

Plating and corrosion resistance

Tooling, production volume, and lead time
