Precision parts 
manufactured with 
tolerances in the 
micrometer range.

   Christian Bauer is the 
world’s only manufacturer 
to produce pump vanes in 
miniature dimensions.
The company launched a
series production of pre-
cision parts for vane cell 
pumps used in vehicle 
power-assisted steering 
systems in the year 1965. 
As this type of pump is
sealed on a no-contact 
basis, i.e. over minimal 
gaps, at pressures which 
can exceed 100 bar, these 
products are required to 
demonstrate pinpoint pre-
cision in terms of evenness, 
parallelism, angular and 
dimensional stability and 
also surface roughness, 
with tolerances in the µm 
range. 
Dimensions are frequently
divided into dimension 
groups with tolerances 
of < 2 µm.
 
 
Christian Bauer is Europe’s
number one large-scale 
supplier in this sector. 
The product range has been 
substantially extended on 
the basis of stateof-the-art 
developments in the auto-
motive engineering sector 
and the engines designed by 
our customers. As a result, 
whole assemblies such as 
rotor/rotor rings and vanes 
for common-rail injection 
pumps are just as much part 
of the supply range as rotary 
pistons for camshaft adjust-
ing systems.
