When used with a commercially available vice, STAUFF manual tube benders, type TUB-MA, enable common hydraulic tubes to be bent manually. They are suitable for steel and stainless steel tubes with diameters of 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18 and 22 mm with a defined minimum wall thickness.
In addition to the metric version, a model for handling inch-gauge tubes with diameters of between 1/4 and 7/8 inches is also available. The eight bending rollers – six in the imperial version – ensure maximum wear.
A scale lasered onto the bending rollers enhances the accuracy of the required bending angle with superior precision. The manual tube bender is supplied with all the necessary components and multilingual instructions for use as a complete kit in a high-quality steel case.
STAUFF’s manual tube bender, type TUB-MA (6100135836), allows you to bend metric hydraulic tubes manually. Perfect for steel and stainless steel tubes, it offers precise bends for tubes with diameters ranging from 6-22 mm.
Key Features:
- Compact Bends: Achieve tight bending radii for space-efficient assemblies.
- High Precision: Laser marked scale on bending rollers ensures accurate bending angles.
- Durable Design: Steel bending rollers reduce wear during operation.
- Versatile Use: Ideal for on-site installations and maintenance work.

Tube Bending Devices from STAUFF: Simple and Precise Tube Bending
If tubes and tube made of steel and stainless steel need to be bent, STAUFF bending bending devices are the first and best choice. They are easy to operate and allow for a high level of accuracy. On this page, you will find all the essential information about the different versions of tube benders and their use.
Two Variants: Tube Benders for Metric and Imperial Tubes
With the variant TUB-MA-M622-LV-KIT, metric tubes made of steel and stainless steel with a diameter range of 6 to 22 mm can be processed. The variant TUB-MA-I414OD-LV-KIT allows the bending of imperial tubes with a diameter range of 1/4 to 7/8 inches. Depending on the diameter, the minimum wall thickness of the tubes to be bent is either 1.5 mm or 2 mm.

Frequently Asked Questions about Tube Bending Devices from STAUFF
What exactly is included in the delivery of the tube bending devices?
The delivery includes the tube bending device and 8 bending rollers for the metric variant and 6 bending rollers for the imperial variant. All components are delivered in a high-quality painted steel case and with a multilingual operating manual.
Where can I get spare parts for tube benders?
Spare parts for the manual tube bender and bending rollers can be reordered at any time in the STAUFF online shop. You can also find other accessories in the corresponding category.
For which types of tubes were tube bending devices designed?
The tube bending devices from STAUFF were designed for bending steel and stainless steel tubes for hydraulics.
The hydraulics industry is considered challenging because particularly high pressures are involved, and the tubes must not be damaged during bending.
Additionally, STAUFF tube bending devices are also used for bending measurement and control lines, coolant lines, exhaust systems, balustrades, handrails and railings, as well as constructions and displays for sales areas, playground equipment, and high-load brackets and supports.
For which tube materials were manual tube benders designed?
STAUFF tube bending devices were designed for bending tubes made of steel and stainless steel.
Tubes made of aluminum, copper, or brass are softer. They tend to buckle or break when bent. For these special tube materials, the specialized trade offers suitable devices.
Of course, rod material can also be bent with STAUFF tube benders. It works, even though the devices were not originally intended for this. Please ensure that the bending rollers are not overly stressed or damaged when bending rod material.
Can oval, rectangular, or square tubes also be bent with the tube bending devices?
STAUFF tube bending devices are only suitable for round tubes or pipes.
They cannot be used to bend oval, rectangular, or square tubes or pipes.
Why should a tube bender be used when bending tubes?
A tube bender from STAUFF ensures that the tube does not buckle when bent, thus remaining undamaged.
What is particularly important to consider when bending tubes?
When bending tubes, it is important to ensure that the tube does not kink or become damaged.
Also, note that tubes tend to spring back slightly after bending. Therefore, feel free to overbend the desired bending angle by 1-2°.
The bending rollers of STAUFF tube bending devices have a lasered scale. This scale helps to find the correct bending angle.
What is the difference between a tube bending device and a tube bending machine?
A tube bending device is also called a manual tube bender or simply a tube bender. In conjunction with a standard vise, it allows tubes to be bent by hand. The device is suitable for small to medium quantities.
STAUFF tube bending devices cover diameter ranges between 6 and 22 mm or 1/4 and 7/8 inches, depending on the model.
If larger diameters or quantities are required, fully automated, fully electric, or hydraulic tube bending machines are usually used. They offer additional functions such as programmable control and higher production speed.
The terms are often mixed, so STAUFF tube bending devices can also be referred to as manual tube bending machines.
