Vivoil Oleodinamica Vivolo

What Vivoil Oleodinamica Vivolo does

Vivoil Oleodinamica Vivolo s.r.l. Società a Socio Unico is an Italian privately-held manufacturer of external-gear hydraulic components, headquartered and operating from a single site in Budrio, Bologna. Founded in 1985 and owner-managed by Domenico Vivolo, the company produces unidirectional and reversible hydraulic pumps, motors, and flow dividers organised across four size groups with displacements from 0.16 to 86.87 cm3/rev. Manufacturing is in-house in Italy using 5-axis single-grip machining, hand assembly and test, with aluminium bodies and external gears complemented by cast-iron flange options on selected models. Proprietary technology includes the MIA-FD Manifold Instantaneous Auto-Compensating Flow Divider, which delivers 1.5-2% division accuracy via internal-gear geometry paired with instantaneous valve compensation, and product variants such as the HI-LO Double Pump and Priority Valve Pump. Each part carries a unique serial number, replacing a previous laser-marking system, to support traceability and aftermarket reorders.

The business model is direct-to-OEM hardware sales: components are sold on a quote, pay-as-you-go basis with no minimum order quantities, enabling both prototype and high-volume orders and emphasising fast delivery as a primary commercial differentiator. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; engagement is consultative, with technical sales staff advising customers on configuration. The core customer base consists of B2B machinery OEMs across four named verticals — agricultural (tractors, forestry machines), industrial (forklifts, presses, compressors, wind installations, lifting platforms), automotive and transport (trailers, steering systems), and earth-moving/construction (excavators, heavy equipment). Documented customers and end-uses include ASA Hydraulik (agricultural cooling), SB Hydraulik A/S (Danish fir-tree cutting/packing equipment, accessed via distributor Dani Trading A/S), an undisclosed lifting-platform OEM using MIA-FD flow dividers, and a world-record jet-powered go-kart project.

Commercial reach combines direct sales from Budrio with international distributor channels (e.g., Dani Trading A/S for Denmark) and, since December 2025, a digital self-serve channel via the CADENAS PARTcommunity and 3Dfindit platforms, where engineers can configure Vivoil pumps and motors, view technical data sheets and download 3D CAD models in over 100 formats. The website is localised in five languages (Italian, English, French, Spanish, German), and the company markets through a blog with technical articles and case studies, email newsletters, downloadable catalogues, and a presence on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter/X and YouTube. Growth is financed entirely internally — no funding rounds, acquisitions or parent-company relationships are disclosed.

Products and services

• Unidirectional Hydraulic Pumps Aluminium hydraulic pumps with external gears that convert mechanical energy into hydraulic fluid flow in a single direction. Available across four size groups with capacities from 0.16 cm3/rev to 86.87 cm3/rev; some configurations offer cast iron flanges. Customers can customize technical features starting from small quantities with no minimum lot requirements.
• Reversible Hydraulic Pumps Hydraulic pumps with reversing flow direction, allowing bidirectional fluid flow from a single unit. Made of aluminium with external gears; cast iron flanges available on certain models. Customizable from small quantities.
• Multiple Hydraulic Gear Pumps Pumps that combine multiple pump elements on a single unit to deliver flow to multiple hydraulic circuits from one power source. Built with aluminium external gears; available across four size groups.
• Multiple Pump Stages Pump elements that can be combined in stages for customized hydraulic power units, enabling flexible pressure/flow configurations from a single assembly.
• Unidirectional Hydraulic Motors Aluminium hydraulic motors with external gears that convert hydraulic fluid energy into mechanical rotation in a single direction. Capacity ranges from 0.45 cm3/rev to 86.87 cm3/rev; cast iron flanges available on certain models.
• Reversible Hydraulic Motors Hydraulic motors capable of reversing rotation direction. Made of aluminium with external gears; cast iron flanges available for groups 2 and 3.
• Hydraulic Flow Dividers Aluminium hydraulic components with external gears that split oil flow into predefined ratios for multiple hydraulic circuits. Modular design supports over 20 elements and combinations across size groups, with capacity ranging from 0.16 cm3/rev to 86.87 cm3/rev.
• MIA-FD Flow Divider Manifold Instantaneous Auto-Compensating Flow Divider that achieves 1.5–2% accuracy, continuously balances loads, and maintains optimal flow division even under severe load imbalances without requiring prior correction. Features an internal gear system with instantaneous valve compensation. Used for synchronization between hydraulic cylinders in lifting applications.
• Priority Valve Pump Pump that maintains a fixed flow rate and redirects excess flow either to a different use (CA version, residual flow reusable) or back to the inlet (CB version). Designed primarily for steering systems in agricultural and construction equipment; available as native configurations or retrofit kits.
• HI-LO Double Pump Double pump with HI (high pressure) and LO (low pressure) stages. Improved version of a previously produced Vivoil product offering enhanced performance and customization possibilities for applications requiring both high and low pressure circuits.
