Smooth-walled tubes for industry and automotive engineering – bespoke solutions for fluid conveyance and protection
Smooth-bore tubes are versatile tube solutions for low-pressure and pressure-free applications. They are ideal for the safe conveyance of fluids and as protective tubes in industrial applications and automotive engineering. Thanks to a variety of materials, surface textures and multi-layer constructions, smooth tubes can be precisely tailored to specific requirements.
Whether smooth or profiled inner and outer surfaces, customised material combinations or bespoke configurations as cut lengths, rolls or spools: smooth tubes offer a high degree of flexibility. Multi-layer tubes, spirals, shaped tubes or complete assemblies are also possible to optimally meet technical and design requirements.
Materials Tube geometries & functional features
Typical applications for smooth tubes include paint and varnish tubes, insulating tubes, brake tubes, water-cooling tubes and solutions for special cables. In mechanical and plant engineering, technical equipment and automotive engineering, they impress with their precise design tailored to the installation space, medium and load. This results in bespoke tube solutions that are functional, efficient and application-specific.
Smooth-walled tubes: Technical specifications and functional elements
Smooth-walled tubes can be designed with a range of technical functions and structural properties. Depending on the application, additional elements can be incorporated to enhance stability, orientation, visibility or specific functionalities.
The technical design is, of course, tailored to the specific requirements of the industrial application.

The materials used in our smooth-walled tubes
General information on materials for smooth-walled tubes
Our smooth-bore tubes for industrial applications are manufactured from a range of high-quality plastics. Depending on the material, different mechanical, thermal and chemical properties result, enabling their use in a wide variety of applications. Through the targeted addition of additives, certain material properties can be further optimised, enhanced or extended to meet the requirements of modern industrial applications.
Smooth tubes made from polyurethane (PUR) are characterised by their high flexibility, good abrasion resistance and excellent resistance to low temperatures. Furthermore, they offer high load-bearing capacity as well as good resistance to UV radiation and mechanical stress.
The selection of the appropriate material always depends on the respective operating conditions and the specific requirements of the application.
