Industrial hydraulic cylinder
Compact hydraulic cylinders offer many advantages

The essential advantage of industrial hydraulic cylinders is that full force can be continuously and simultaneously accessed at full speed - without any loss of service life. The Hänchen industrial hydraulic cylinders series 120 and 300 are also characterised by a compact design requiring minimal space.

Standard hydraulic cylinder according to DIN and ISO
Hydraulic cylinders with mounting dimensions according to DIN ISO 6020/6022

To guarantee exchangeability between hydraulic cylinder manufacturers, standard cylinders can be used. These hydraulic cylinders comply with the required standard mounting dimensions according to DIN and ISO standards. The strength of our standard cylinders is that they also meet Hänchen quality standards.

Servo hydraulic actuator
Hydraulic servo cylinders with valve and sensor technology

With the help of sensor technology such as force transducer or position transducers, a hydraulic actuator can be operating range over a very wide operating range. By selecting a suitable control strategy, highly dynamic, precise hydraulic drives with an extremely high energy density are created.

High-quality industrial hydraulic cylinder
Quality without compromise

A passion for high-quality, durable hydraulic cylinders requires attention to detail as a foundation. That is why we are uncompromisingly committed to quality in the production of our cylinders and give you good reasons to choose Hänchen:

80% Vertical integration

100 % Made in Germany

100 % quality

Made in Germany | Hänchen

Processing
Low friction. Low wear. Long service life.

A high surface quality and geometric precision of the components in every Hänchen hydraulic cylinder guarantee an exceptionally long service life without failures.

Honed surface

For optimum lubrication and running properties, as well as low wear of the cylinders and seals, the sliding surfaces of the hydraulic cylinders are refined with a cross-hatch finish.

Current Sealing Technology

Benefit from the continuous further development of our hydraulic cylinder sealing systems. With combinations of existing seals on the market and seals developed in-house, we optimise our cylinders for wear, friction and leakage.

The continuous development of our sealing systems optimises our cylinders with regard to wear, friction and leakage.

H7/f7 - clearance fit

The guide clearance in the hydraulic cylinder must be neither too small nor too large. Hänchen therefore attaches great importance to optimum accuracy. The result is reduced stress on the guide and therefore less wear on the components.

H7/f7 - clearance fit

Design
Three components. One unit. Easy handling.

The fewer components hydraulic cylinders have, the less prone they are to failure. And the easier and safer maintenance and installation are. The three main components of a Hänchen cylinder:

Piston rod

The piston and piston rod of the cylinder are inseparably connected at Hänchen. The piston is coated with non-ferrous metal to ensure a precise metallic guide. The well designed rod ends with rounded edges permit a seal-friendly installation.

Piston and piston rod of the cylinder are inseparably connected at Hänchen

Cylinder tube

The cylinder tube of the Hänchen hydraulic cylinder is inseparably linked to the cylinder mounting using a welded round-head design. Thanks to drilled ports, it saves space during installation with many options for adjustment to various applications.

Cover

A perfectly matched, stick-slip-free cover type is crucial for the service life of the entire cylinder.
Special feature of Hänchen hydraulic cylinders: The synthetic guide is firmly integrated, achieves better load distribution and minimises the risk of scoring due to dirt particles.

A stick-slip-free cover type, perfectly matched to the requirement, is crucial for the service life of the entire cylinder.

Hydraulic cylinder equipment in the cover
Unlimited possibilities.

For an optimum combination, we select the cover type with the ideal sealing and guiding system*, the right piston rod quality and the right sealing material for you.

We equip your hydraulic cylinder to suit every application and thus realise industrial hydraulic cylinders with a long service life, even under the most difficult conditions:

  • high temperatures in the steel mill,
  • heavy stress in outdoor applications,
  • hygiene regulations for food manufacturers,
  • Tests in a salt spray environment, in climatic chambers or in the laboratory.

Tell us what you need - only those who set conditions will get the perfect industrial cylinder.

* The recommendation of the cover type also depends on the cylinder series and the piston equipment.

Friction depending on the sealing and guiding system in the cover
Low level friction force

Whether sensitive, free-moving or insensitive - the strength of Hänchen hydraulic cylinders is their extreme adaptability.

Depending on what you need, Hänchen, as a renowned hydraulic cylinder manufacturer, offers you the right cover type: industrial hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic actuators with optimum friction force for your static or dynamic application.

Whether sensitive, free-moving or robust – the strength of Hänchen cylinders lies in their extreme adaptability. Depending on your requirements, Hänchen, as a renowned hydraulic cylinder manufacturer, offers you the right cover type: industrial cylinders and hydraulic cylinders with optimal friction force for your static or dynamic application.

Values measured on the double-rod cylinder (bore 46 mm seal-less, rod Ø 40 mm) in sinusoidal operation according to VDMA24577 at 50° C/HLPD46.
The friction force curves of the Hänchen cylinders and industrial hydraulic cylinders are at a lower level than usual on the market.

Equipment on the piston
The ideal sealing system for the hydraulic cylinder piston

In addition to the selected cover type, the correct piston design is also decisive for the dynamic movement of the cylinder.

If the cylinder is to be held in position under load for a longer period during operation, the rectangular compact seal can be equipped with a static elastomer seal for a load holding function. This prevents possible lowering/sinking of the piston rod.
