Building a Custom Manifold

Choose Wisely.
When looking for a source for a custom manifold, it is important to choose someone who doesn't just source parts or order assemblies from a vendor.

While there are some standard applications, a log of hydraulic manifolds are highly specific to their purpose, so it's no wonder that it can be difficult to find a particular part number for every application.

Among the most popular manufacturers are Bosch Rexroth and Daman Manifolds. Much of their business is in the manufacture of custom, one-off manifolds for low-volume applications.

Womack Machine Supply (www.womackmachine.com) not only has partnering arrangements with Daman and Bosch Rexroth, they also have engineering support to be sure you're getting the right solution for your problem.
