The Hänchen Programm
Manufacturer of industrial hydraulic cylinder, test actuator and rod clamping unit

Qualitative products and engineering for individual cases has always been our strength. As a hydraulic cylinder manufacturer, Hänchen has made a good name for itself over many years. Since 1925, we have gained comprehensive know-how in the fields of hydraulic actuators, special machine construction and testing technology. Benefit from our experience when selecting the right solution for your application.

Hänchen is manufacturer of high-quality hydraulic cylinders for every field of application. Our cylinders' quality characteristics in a nutshell: high control accuracy, long service life, low-maintenance, low-friction, robust, and a compact construction.

You can buy different types of hydraulic cylinders, our range includes:

Industrial hydraulic cylinders
Standard hydraulic cylinders - DIN/ISO
Servo hydraulic actuators
Custom hydraulic cylinders

High-quality industrial hydraulic cylinders need a basis of accuracy down to the last detail. Quality without compromise is our policy for the production of our hydraulic cylinder. Three good reasons to opt for Hänchen hydraulic cylinders:

80 % vertical integration. 100 % made in Germany. 100 % quality.

Hänchen builds special hydraulic cylinders for use in test machines. Test hydraulic actuators are perfect for highly dynamic industrial and testing tasks, such as material stress test stands for aircraft components.

Industrial applications

• friction welding
• ingot oscillation
• sintered metal compression

Test tasks

• testing the functional reliability of systems, component parts, or products
• structure tests for aircraft, vehicle exhaust systems, refrigerating compressors
• stress and movement simulation, e.g. operational and flight profiles

The working areas of these hydraulic cylinders are individually adjustable so that they can be perfectly adapted to your application. The advantage: low operating costs, higher energy efficiency.

The patented clamping device Ratio-Clamp^® holds the rod in a standstill and locks it into position mechanically. It is TÜV-certified and clamps down immediately, for unlimited periods of time, and without requiring any energy. 100% reliable!

This clamping head is used e.g. in mechanical and plant engineering

• hydraulic pressing, optionally with DGUV test certification
• casting machines
• production processes

But also in multi-axle test stands for locking individual axles, or in ferries for locking the bow and stern doors.

If necessary, we can also develop a customized solution for you.

If certain processes require more or less force or a different fluid; pressure transducers and fluid transformers are a quick and cost-efficient solution.

Pressure intensifier
Pressure reducer
Fluid separator

The secondary side can use almost all fluids, such as water, emulsions, or AdBlue.

Years of experience in constructing and manufacturing for special purpose machinery have also broadened our expertise in the field of machine elements.

Our palette for machine elements includes

rods, shafts and axles
sealing systems and guiding elements
mounting elements

Our strength is your gain! Our production structure allows us to make unique single pieces or small batches. We can design individual machine elements for you, or manufacture them according to your engineering drawings.

Our interactive Hänchen configurator HÄKO permits the individual configuration of our products – a perfect fit for your application. Available right now
