With around 60 employees at its Porta Westfalica site, Schneider Servohydraulics GmbH manufactures sophisticated (special) cylinder construction products. Schneider specializes in customized special solutions and offers its customers the highest quality.

Another new collaboration with TecSDervo, our distribution partner for Brazil and South America since 2024, is a significant step to expand our presence in the South American region and continue to provide excellent products & service to our customers.

The relocation of the servo-hydraulics division from Bad Kreuznach to Porta Westfalica brings together the three portfolio companies of the AXXERON MOTION division. The relocation, including the machines, warehouse, etc., took place in three stages while production continued.

With the carve-out of the servo hydraulics division from the company Jos. Schneider Optische Werke GmbH in Bad Kreuznach to the newly founded Schneider Servo Hydraulics GmbH, the AXXERON MOTION division has grown.

With the HAZ 148 quick-closing cylinder developed and patented by Schneider Servohydraulics, our customers from the mechanical and plant engineering sector have received an important component that is required, for example, when operating steam turbines to prevent system-damaging speeds effectively

Schneider’s presence continues to grow. Thus AC Fluid Technology, Cosure Ltd. & Dover Hydraulics Inc. become new valued distributors and agents for our company. In these years they have already played a crucial role in our growth and success. These partnerships are an important part of our company’s recent history.

Since 2006, we have been delighted to partner with HRE, our new distribution partner for Spain and Portugal. This collaboration marks an exciting new step in our expansion and our commitment to continue offering first-class service on an international level.

Melsur has been an indispensable sales partner and agent for our company since 1984. To this day, Melsur continues to work successfully with us and contributes significantly to our success. This partnership is an important part of our company’s history and our continued growth.

In 1982, a strong cooperation developed with our sales partner ABACUS Hydraulics, which continues to this day. This partner not only strengthened our market position but also cemented our customers’ trust in our brand. The successes achieved are proof of the strength and effectiveness of this partnership.

Schneider’s in-depth expertise in high-precision engineering is reflected in its high-performance servo valves. These have been developed for extreme requirements – often together with the customer – right through to control technology. Schneider’s servo valves control enormous forces with the finest dosage and fast reaction times, whenever it matters. Schneider’s servo valves are used in a wide variety of applications, for example in the steering columns of racing cars, in dam turbines, on oil rigs, in general, in mechanical and plant engineering, or the nose wheel of an Airbus airplane.

In addition to a purely hydraulic or pneumatic safety blocking device, a hydraulic or pneumatic-mechanical safety clamping system that operates independently of it is provided to ensure increased safety in the event of a malfunction. Thanks to continuous innovation, Schneider is increasingly developing into a leading supplier of servo drive technology and stands for precision, reliability, and performance.

With this pressure control valve, which was intended in particular for electro-hydraulic brake systems on trams, underground trains, and other vehicles, the full pressure of a pressure medium source connected to the pressure connection is available for emergency actuation of the brake actuation devices connected to the consumer connection in the event of a control current failure. The result is a significant improvement in the safety and efficiency of braking systems in various types of vehicles.

In 1967, Schneider established a milestone in valve control technology. Schneider’s significant innovation in the control device for pressure medium-controlled valve systems revolutionized how hydraulic and pneumatic systems are controlled and patented this development in 1967.

Jos. Schneider Optische Werke: Founded in 1913 as a workshop for optics at its headquarters in Bad Kreuznach, the company developed into a group of companies specializing in high-performance lenses and precision mechanics. The founding of Feinwerktechnik GmbH in 1961 signaled the start of the development and production of electrohydraulic servo valves.
