Flühs has been manufacturing simple assemblies for sanitary and valve technology since the 1970s. Among other things, we specialize in the manufacture of simple assemblies, which we produce individually according to customer requirements.
Simple assemblies consist of non-complex individual components, such as a turned part, which is assembled with a sealing element. Examples include simple valve spindles with o-rings, which are installed by the customer as part of a complete fitting in a specific product.
In addition to standardized valve assemblies, we offer specialized (valve) assemblies that are tailor-made to individual customer requirements. Flühs supplies ready-to-install valves to numerous OEMs in the fittings industry.

Simple assemblies are an essential part of daily valve technology production and are used, among other things, in standardized valves that are produced in large quantities.
On this site, we explain what simple assemblies are, provide examples of simple assemblies, and describe the products we offer in the area of simple assemblies.
Simple assemblies are composed of several individual parts, such as a turned part and a sealing element, which belong to the same assembly level.
A simple assembly consists of individual parts that are installed in a component and perform a specific technical function. For example, a turned part and a sealing element combine to form a valve component that is used to shut off the pipeline.
There are no hierarchical categorizations for simple assemblies. They do not have any subassemblies that themselves consist of individual components, as is the case, for example, with a fitting as the main assembly with the valve headwork and valve body as subassemblies. Simple assemblies form a single component from individual parts. For example, the spindle body and o-ring form a valve spindle, which in turn is a component of the valve headwork. Simple assemblies are generally standardized, easy to install, easily replaceable, and maintenance-friendly. They are easy to assemble and consist of relatively few complex components, such as turned parts and sealing rings, valve cones and sealing washers, or valve seats and o-rings.
There are various examples of simple assemblies in valve technology, which are described in the following section.
Examples of simple assemblies include spindles, seals, and actuators.
The valve spindle with o-ring is an important component in valves that transfers the mechanical force of the actuator handle (such as a lever) to the sealing element (inter alia, valve cone). A valve spindle consists of a spindle rod, a union nut, and sealing grooves or sealing washers. Flühs manufactures valve spindles in series using CNC lathes, which ensure an economical production.
The valve seal with valve cone and sealing washer in the sanitary sector is a sealing element made of rubber or plastic that stops the flow when the actuating element (a knob or a lever) is turned. The seal of a valve consists, for example, of an o-ring and a stuffing box. Flühs works with reliable manufacturers for sealing elements who supply us with high-quality products whose quality has convinced us for decades.
A turned part and a sealing ring are a simple assembly used in mechanical construction, building technology, and medical technology, among other areas. The sealing ring is inserted into a groove in the turned part. During this process, the sealing ring is pressed or compressed to ensure a reliable seal.
Simple assemblies from Flühs are manufactured on CNC automatic lathes. The assembly of such components has been part of Flühs Drehtechnik's range of services since the 1970s. CNC manufacturing offers a cost-effective solution for high-volume production of standard components such as valve seats with seals, spindles with o-rings, or valve cones with sealing washers.
The precisely manufactured components made of stainless steel or brass alloys meet the highest precision requirements and are used both in Flühs valves and in customer-specific applications. Depending on the complexity and quantity, assembly is fully automated, semi-automated, or manual. All processes take place in-house.
For quality assurance purposes, leak testing, component labeling for traceability, and light barrier checks are carried out as required to ensure that the sealing elements are correctly fitted. The valves are designed as ready-to-install units and enable reliable, smooth integration into the end product.
