Industrial hydraulic cylinder from Hänchen
Hydraulic cylinder manufacturer
Hydraulic cylinders offer many advantages: they are long-lasting, low-friction and robust. The 120 and 300 series from us as a hydraulic cylinder manufacturer have top response behavior, low wear and therefore long maintenance intervals.
In typical Hänchen quality with matched sealing elements, these industrial hydraulic cylinders meet the highest technical requirements for safe and reliably controlled drives.
In addition to our standard modules, we develop and produce high-quality custom hydraulic cylinders for a wide range of applications.
- Start-up from standstill under full load
- Continuous & simultaneously accessible power
- Compact construction
- Low friction
- No risk of failure
- No stick-slip effect
Properties of an industrial hydraulic cylinder
Advantages of hydraulics
- Ready to go: from standstill under full load
- The compact design with low inertial resistance guarantees a high power density. This allows the cylinders to start up immediately under full load and quickly change the direction of movement.
- In position: in every situation
Speeds are steplessly adjustable while maintaining a simple control concept with high positional accuracy, even when requirements vary greatly.
- Fast: even under high loads
The force and speed are constant and simultaneously accessible at full power.
- Hydraulic cylinders for every frequency range
The required dynamics of the drive determine the type of effect of the cylinder. With fast control valves, even single-rod cylinders achieve a high profile quality at high frequencies. The limit values shown in the diagram are intended as guidelines for your design. They depend on various operating conditions - we will help you with the selection.

- Low cylinder unit costs
- Cylinder can do exactly what the application requires
- Fast delivery times thanks to processes optimised for serial production
- Rapid supply of spare parts by keeping the seals in stock

Sealing and guiding systems
The sealing system in the cover and on the piston is the core component of a hydraulic cylinder and determines its application possibilities. This defines the friction characteristics and stick-slip behaviour of the industrial hydraulic cylinder, the achievable speeds and the effects of side loads.
The equipment of a hydraulic cylinder describes its crucial internal characteristics that directly determine performance and service life. These primarily include the configuration of seals, guides, and material quality:
- Sealing and guiding systems for pistons and covers
- The sealing material used (e.g., FKM-based)
- The quality of the piston rod (material and surface coating)
Through the targeted selection of these characteristics, the cylinder is optimally adapted to its specific application and respective operating conditions.
Questions about equipment
of hydraulic cylinders
- What is the function of sealing systems in a hydraulic cylinder?
-
The sealing system determines the friction, stick-slip behavior, permissible speed, and wear of a hydraulic cylinder. The correct seal thus significantly influences the precision, service life, and energy efficiency of the application.
- Why are honed cylinder sliding surfaces used?
-
Honed sliding surfaces improve lubrication between the seal and the cylinder tube and increase the roundness of the piston rod for uniform contact pressure of the seal. This reduces friction and wear, while increasing the service life and operational reliability of the hydraulic cylinder.
- Why do Hänchen hydraulic cylinders achieve a particularly long service life?
-
The long service life is based on high manufacturing precision, honed sliding surfaces, modern sealing systems, and precise machining of all components. These features sustainably reduce friction, wear, and unplanned failures.

* When pivot mounting the pressure is limited to 120 bar.
F1 = force extending when extend the cylinder | F2 = force retracting when retraction the cylinder
With double-rod cylinders, retraction and extension corresponds to the value F2.
FAQ - Industrial hydraulic cylinders
General questions
- What advantages do Hänchen industrial hydraulic cylinders offer?
Hänchen industrial hydraulic cylinders are characterized by a long service life, high positional accuracy, low friction, high efficiency, and a compact construction. Additionally, users benefit from long maintenance intervals and high manufacturing quality.
- In which typical application areas are hydraulic cylinders superior to electromechanical solutions?
Hydraulic cylinders are always superior to electromechanical drives when high forces, large strokes, high dynamics, or particularly harsh environmental conditions are required. Typical application areas include:
- Pressing and Forming Technology – with very high process forces
- Synthetic and Die Casting – fast opening and closing of heavy molds at high cycle rates
- Test Stands – Simulation of precise load changes over millions of cycles
- Motion Platforms and Hexapods – sensitive, jolt-free movements
- Plants with Many Drives – one power unit supplies many cylinders simultaneously
- What distinguishes series cylinders from standard solutions?
Series cylinders are specifically designed to meet the requirements of a recurring application. Materials, seals, and design are optimized, which improves the price-performance ratio in series production. These adaptations are particularly beneficial for applications with regular demand and planned follow-up orders.
- What is the purpose of cushioning in a hydraulic cylinder?
The cushioning system controls the piston's speed just before it reaches the end position. This prevents a hard mechanical stop, reduces stress on the machine structure, minimizes noise, and increases the cylinder's service life.
More about cushioning can be found in our Technical Information.
