STANDARD CYLINDERS

The finest standard hydraulic cylinders: Hänchen quality

Everyone who has heard of Hänchen is aware that its worldwide reputation is based on hydraulic cylinder solutions that are anything but standardized. The standardization actually deals with nothing more than basic dimensions and connections, mounting, parts, etc. Indeed for the common solution, a standard cylinder will often do the job without any problems. In many demanding applications it is possible to use a standard Hänchen cylinder due to the high quality levels attained by Hänchen.

There is no better quality …

As far as Hänchen is concerned, there is no reason to look to another quality standard other than its own for its standard cylinders in the Hänchen range of products. In other words, they benefit from the company’s quality aspirations. In principle, Hänchen makes exclusive use of honed cylinder tubes for all its cylinders. Hänchen also guarantees that all the cylinders in its product range, as well as normalized cylinders, comply with the most exacting of geometrical accuracies.

David and Goliath

They really do exist, the ”Davids” … the small people, who can hold their own with their larger counterparts. This, however, should not be interpreted to mean that there’s no real need for bigger cylinders. It is not without reason that Hänchen also has a comprehensive range of normalised cylinders of the 100, 160 and 250 series alongside its series 120 and 300 cylinders which comply with Hänchen standards.
