Vektek’s hydraulic work supports are engineered to deliver precise, repeatable support for workpieces during machining operations. Designed for high-performance fixturing, these supports offer exceptional positional accuracy with repeatability up to ±0.0002 inches, ensuring consistent results across demanding applications.

Built for durability, Vektek work supports feature corrosion-resistant coatings, oversized plungers and sleeves for added rigidity, and proprietary wipers and seals that minimize contamination and friction—extending service life even in harsh environments. Standard SAE porting is conveniently located at the base for streamlined installation and maintenance, while cartridge-mount options allow for seamless integration into custom-machined cavities.

Multiple styles are available to meet a variety of application needs, including high-capacity fluid advance, spring advance, air advance, and part-present sensing models—each shown with detailed cutaway views for clarity. Among the latest innovations is Vektek’s “World’s Smallest Work Support,” delivering up to 3× the capacity of competing models at 5,000 PSI. This compact unit features a smart hydraulic sequence: the plunger retracts during part loading, advances gently via spring pressure, then automatically locks under hydraulic force to provide secure, stable support.
