Configure 3D category
Flow control and fluid power
Flow control and fluid power covers engineered-to-order flow components: valves built to specification, pumps and impellers and hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders.
Valves and cylinders are configurator-shaped: bore, stroke, end fittings, seals and mountings are a clean parameter set with real engineering rules, and today every order is checked against those rules by hand before a price goes out.
They are strong candidates for future presets once the launch four are proven. Today the bespoke build service covers them, carrying the dimensional and selection layer while your engineers keep the judgement calls.
How it divides
The buyer configures. You stay in control.
A configurator moves the typing to the buyer and keeps every rule, rate and limit in the seller's hands.
What the buyer sets
- Bore and stroke, or size and rating
- End fittings and mountings
- Seals and trim
- Quantity
What stays in your hands
- The rule set per product line
- Option and compatibility tables
- Rates and pricing formulas
- Engineering review where it matters
What it covers
Example configurable products
- Hydraulic cylinders by bore, stroke, ends and mounts
- Pneumatic cylinders and actuators
- Engineered valves by size, rating, trim and ends
Inside a configurator
From parameters to a dispatched order
One runtime carries every category: typed inputs, a cited AI, live 3D, a priced breakdown, manufacturing files and dispatch into your systems.

Bespoke builds
Your product line on the same runtime
The four launch configurators and every bespoke build share one engine, so a new product inherits everything the live ones already prove.
- Tell us the product line
- What you make, the parameters that vary, the rules you check and how you price it. If it is dimensioned and quoted repeatedly, it fits.
- We build it on the live runtime
- Your configurator inherits live 3D, engineering rules, pricing formulas, cited AI answers, manufacturing exports and ERP or CRM dispatch from day one.
- Your customers configure and order
- On your own branded portal, against your stock and your rates, with every order landing in your systems.
Questions
About this category
- Why are cylinders a good configurator fit?
- Because a cylinder order is a parameter set: bore, stroke, end fittings, seals and mountings, each with stateable limits. That is exactly what the configurator runtime models.
- When would a valve or cylinder preset ship?
- After the four launch configurators are proven with sellers. A bespoke build can start sooner: the runtime is the same.
