A Stable Partner in the Crisis

Dear Customers, dear Business Partners,

“Hard times will always reveal true friends”... so the saying goes. And there is certainly some truth in it! In times of corona, this is particularly evident. Every day, the prognoses and the measures derived from them change. All market participants have been gripped by huge uncertainty, and only one thing is for sure: The next 12 months will not be easy - for any of us.

Currently, there is no end in sight - neither in…

In the Fire

“Hot irons” (or more precisely for Hirschvogel: cold and warm forged steel components, too) are topics that we like internally – but particularly those that customers are already concretely working together with us on. In other words, those proposals that have already received tangible positive feedback in the form of series orders or paid developments. We would like to report on some of these “hot irons” here, though naturally we will not mention any customer names or project…

Whatever you would like!

Differential Bevel Gears

Hirschvogel has been operating single-stage warm forging presses with drawing cushion technology for a long time now. These highly productive machines are used primarily for high-pressure diesel injection components, such as camshafts and cylinder heads for diesel pumps as well as injector bodies.

Due to the existing expertise in large serial production on these presses and the consistently high quality achieved, it made sense to find additional components for this…

Monoblock Input Shaft with Ready-for-assembly Lamellae Splines Saves Development and Production Costs

As system complexity in hybrid powertrains increases, so does the number of components required, thereby causing the costs for these systems to rise. This applies to the costs per unit, logistics costs as well as to investments in development and tools.

An effective way of countering these cost increases is to reduce the number of components and suppliers and to eliminate manufacturing steps.…

Hirschvogel Embraces the Changes in the Automotive Industry

The steadily increasing number of electrified powertrains in passenger cars and in the commercial vehicle sector worldwide is a long-term issue for the supply industry. Hirschvogel is also facing up to this challenge and has been working intensively for several years on powertrain components for electric and hybrid vehicles in order to actively shape this change.

The rotor shaft as the heart of the electric motor is a particular focus…
