Yokes
simple, ring, double and shank
The work that made Silfas a reference for cardan and constant-velocity joints, above all in the agricultural sector.
Hot steel forgingsince 1950
From Rivara, in Canavese, we forge yokes for cardan and constant-velocity joints, and gears and shafts for gearboxes.

The path of a part
From steel bar to shipping: the path of a Silfas part through the plant. Scroll to follow it.
Bars
Steel bars are cut to size in the shearing department.
Heating
The steel reaches forging temperature and turns orange.
Forging
Six forging lines, from 1000 to 2500 tonnes. Hot forging has been Silfas’s craft since 1950.
Robots
On the 2000 and 2500 tonne automatic lines, robots handle the glowing part.
Finishing
Drilling, deburring, part cooling and final blasting.
CNC
Machining with Biglia, Okuma, Mazak, Farmar and Hyundai machines.
Shipping
Parts leave the Rivara plant.
Six forging lines
From the 1000 tonne press to the 2500: the length of each bar is proportional to the force.

What we forge
Shafts, rings, flanges and hubs
for gearboxes and mechanical components
In recent years the range has extended to gears and shafts for gearboxes, bevel-wheel rings, flanges, hubs and planet carriers.
Parts from 0.5 to 18 kg, in iron, stainless steel, quenched-and-tempered and case-hardening steel. For agriculture, earthmoving, heavy vehicles and hydraulics.
Behind every part is someone running the press
Presses, robots and numerically controlled machines work alongside the people who run them: about 51 people, 14 white collars and 37 blue collars.
Rooted in Canavese
Silfas has forged hot steel since 1950. Hot forging is one of the excellences of Canavese, recognised around the world.
For over seventy years this family-run company worked mainly for the agricultural sector, making yokes for cardan and constant-velocity joints. Today it has widened its range while keeping the specialisation that made it a leader: gears and shafts for gearboxes.
Silfas 1, the historic plant, covers 7,500 m² (2,800 m² covered). Silfas 2, the new plant, covers 25,000 m² (7,000 m² covered).
Silfas is part of the Silfas Group, together with Cisar S.r.l.
Certified management system
