The Hänchen Ratio-Clamp® keeps the position for you. This device is a positive rod clamping safety device. The Ratio-Clamp is unlocked by hydraulic pressure. In the event of an electrical/hydraulic power loss, the potential energy of the internal Bellville washers load a conical piston, driving it over the friction fingers resulting in securing the load. “A true self contained safety clamp.”
Wherever power failures or malfunctions pose a risk to the safety of people or machinery, the rod locking device is there to save the day. It is also useful to accurately hold the cylinder rod in an exact position without the need to keep hydraulic pressure on the cylinder, thereby saving energy while maintaining accuracy. It clamps down and fixes the piston rod right where it is with no additional power needed.
Advantages of hydraulic rod locks
No axial rod movement during clamping and releasing
Protective clamping effect in case of a power failure
Load capacity that is independent of direction
Clamps completely surrounding rods
IoT 4.0 Compatible: Integrated sensors to know if the clamp is locked or unlocked
Boasting a retention force of up to 101,000 lbf., the clamp hydraulically holds the piston rod in whatever position it is in at that particular moment without having to generate extra power (no extra energy) for an unlimited period of time. The clamping device Ratio-Clamp is approved by the German Technical Inspection Agency (TÜV).
Special development of Custom solutions (larger rod diameters, intermediate size, greater clamping forces) pose no problem for the Hänchen specialists. Hänchen is particularly proud of its RC-H model. Following a request from the Health and Safety Centre of the Employers’ Liability Association (BGZ iron and metal section III, Düsseldorf), Hänchen developed the new safety clamping hydraulic Ratio-Clamp under extreme conditions for use with hydraulic presses and injection molding machines.

Ratio-Clamp Applications
Testing technology in aviation: The setups for aviation tests have been refined to the last detail. Cylinders are used in different fields of testing, simulating ambient conditions and loads during different flight phases. The Ratio-Clamp® is used to protect the intricately constructed and expensive systems.
Production in molding and injection presses: Clamping units ensure safety during the pressing process in molding and injection presses for the production of synthetic and rubber molder parts in accordance with EN 289.
Maintenance in railway technology: During maintenance, trains must be fixed in a raised state. The Ratio-Clamp® is ideally suited for this purpose, as it holds the train securely in position until the work had been completed.
Production in grinding machines: During the production process of ICE rail sleepers, extremely large and heavy concrete workpieces must be positioned for grinding safely and with an accuracy of 0.01 mm. Hänchen’s hydraulic cylinders and Ratio- Clamp® clamping units are designed exactly for these requirements.
Production in profilling machines: Hänchen clamping units ensure precise machining and consistent quality in the production of metal profiles. During the production process, they facilitate the machining of the profiles by locking the forming tools in place. Ecological and efficient, purely with spring power.

The 320 Series: Constructed for highly dynamic tests
Perfect for industrial applications, structure tests, and load simulations: the Series 320 test cylinder is the best choice for challenging tasks. It performs well, for example, in checking the functional safety of systems, component parts, or products; for structural testing of airplanes, refrigeration compressors, automobile exhaust system; or for simulating loads and movement, such as operational profiles and flight profiles.
The Series 320 is built from a solid block of steel. This means that any part of the cylinder can be customized to your requirements unlike standard models with limited sizing options. Rigid construction of the cylinder means means no leakage, a long service life, and good data.
4 Stand Out Features of the 320 Series:
Bores adjustable to the millimeter: The working areas can be designed individually for the respective requirements, saving acquisition and operating costs for the required periphery, and increasing energy efficiency.
Protection against unforeseen movement: Emergency cushion adds protection for the cylinder and test specimen. This is included in the stroke as standard. The effective stroke is between the two emergency cushioning.
Operation without a leak oil pump: Thanks to elaborate sealing and guiding system, cylinders don’t need leak oil pumps. The cylinders are equipped with high-quality bronze coatings for optimum emergency running properties.
Modular system efficient change of applications: Mounting parts and accessories fit cylinders with different forces and do not have to be purchased several times for one test field.

F1 Compressive force while the cylinder is extended
F2 Compressive force while the cylinder is retracted. With double-rod cylinders, retraction and extension corresponds to the value of F2.
Choosing a Testing Cylinder
Dynamic Movement
First, determine if the cylinder will be used in highly dynamic applications, such as torque/torsion testing of axial loads and other drive line components. If so, seal protection is important to have, along with a servo valve that can be mounted to the actuator to offer more control to the device. It is important to know the application including the speed, pressure, loads, and any forces acting on the cylinder.
Frequency
What frequency will your cylinder require? Industrial applications and dynamic testing typically have higher frequency ranges, with some frequencies greater than 100 Hz.
Seals
It’s important to pay attention to the conditions your cylinder will be in. Conducting tests in conditions like salt spray fog, in climate chambers, or in a lab require individualized protection. Seal factors to pay attention to include temperature ranges, types of movement (simple, sensitive, controlled), outdoor stress, stick resistance, and type of medium, etc.
Load Holding
If loads need to be held in position for extended times, a rod lock can be included which allows a load to be held in a precise position and without power/pressure being applied.
For over 100 years, Hänchen has supported the test and simulation industry with actuators built for precision and durability. Our servo cylinders cover one of the widest ranges on the market.

Any hydraulic cylinder design is possible with our extensive network of cylinder manufacturers. Every part of the cylinder can be customized including the material, type, medium, size, sealing, rod coating, mounting, ports, sensors, paint, cushioning, and load-holding options.
Generations of European Craftsmanship and Manufacturing
Anyone can sell you a part. As a distributor, we offer more than just cylinders.
Our roots run deep in hydraulic manufacturing. Our President, Ben Hunger, comes from the family business behind some of the world’s largest hydraulic cylinders. The founder of IC-Fluid Power, Armin Hunger, established the company to bring German precision and quality to the U.S. market. He built strong, lasting partnerships with European manufacturers, many of whom we still work with today. Through these connections, we provide access to European partners with over 100 years of expertise in premium cylinder manufacturing.
The right material determines the cylinder’s strength and lifespan. Choose from standard steels for general use, stainless steels for corrosion resistance, or lightweight alternatives like aluminum and carbon hybrids for mobile or specialized applications.
This is just a sampling of the common materials we use, but any specialty material is possible.

Choose a single-rod style for standard linear motion, a double-rod style for equal force in both directions, or a telescopic version when space is limited but stroke length is long. Tie-rod and welded cylinders differ in how they’re built. (Tie rods use long threaded rods to essentially sandwich the cylinders body together, while on welded cylinders the body components are welded together.)

Useful when automation return is needed for safety if pressure is lost
Standard applications
Double-acting cylinders use hydraulic fluid in both directions.
Useful when you need both forces to be equal
High speeds and high frequency applications
Useful for when a load needs to be attached to both cylinder ends (rare)
We offer a wide range of media for applications, selected based on the required viscosity, thermal stability, oxidation resistance, lubricity, and water tolerance.

Popular Choices for Patented Sealing Solutions
1. Servofloat® seal for low friction and high side loads
For testing and simulation, we offer over 12 different combinations for achieving low stiction and stick slip. One popular option for dynamic tests that require near frictionless movement is the patented Servofloat® seal. This works using a floating-gap principle to eliminate stick-slip. It enables extremely smooth oscillations at frequencies up to several hundred hertz, a key benefit for servo-drive applications.
2. GD1000K® for reliable sealing and guidance for heavy-duty conditions
The GD1000K® is a piston seal made for heavy-duty industrial and construction applications. It guides the piston and keeps it sealed using a bronze-filled PTFE slide ring and NBR energizing element. It maintains proper sealing even at zero pressure and prevents metal-to-metal contact under heavy side loads. The combined bearing and sealing give double-acting cylinders improved structural rigidity.
Standard Sealing Options
Not every application needs a specialty seal. Standard sealing options offer high performance for most cylinders. A common setup uses a lip seal together with a wiper ring to keep contaminants out and maintain sealing integrity. Static seals stop leakage at fixed interfaces, while dynamic seals control fluid between moving parts such as the piston and rod.

This allows for real-time data monitoring, predictive maintenance, and closed-loop control, which all contribute to better system reliability and performance.
Popular sensor options for traditional and Industry 4.0 compatible systems can be found in the list below:
Proximity switches measure precise end-of-stroke position to detect stroke limits and confirm end position
Position/stroke sensors measure piston rod position to provide feedback and enable closed-loop control
Temperature sensors measure fluid, cylinder, or surface temperatures for monitoring and to prevent overheating
Pressure sensors measure hydraulic pressure in chamber or line to prevent overloads
Force transducers measure axial force to monitor the applied load and verify test parameters
As a primary distributor for many international cylinder manufacturers, IC-Fluid Power is capable of several different painting options from single acrylic coatings for standard cylinders to advanced multi-layer epoxies and urethanes made for offshore and military coatings.
Standard Options
Cylinders can be left unpainted with or without temporary transportation and storage corrosion protection (VCI, wax, silane, phosphate, grease)
Primer only (acrylic, epoxy, or other as specified)
Base coatings use 1k synthetic epoxy or acrylic paints for general environmental resistance
Specialty Options
Specialized coatings include robust 2K epoxy systems.* These offer high adhesion and chemical resistance suited for offshore, mining, and industrial conditions. This durable coating is used to withstand intensive mechanical and chemical stress while offering exceptional coverage and scratch resistance.
Military-grade coatings meet specific defense or government requirements and are provided upon request.
Offshore coatings use multi-layer epoxy or polyurethane systems to withstand saltwater exposure and harsh marine exposure.
*For customized cylinders made from Germany, our Hänchen cylinders are finished with a 2K polyurethane structural paint (silicone-free) in RAL 9006, white aluminum semi-gloss.
Cushioning is added to gradually slow the piston as it nears the end of its stroke, protecting the cylinder and connected equipment from impact damage and excessive shock loads.
Our hydraulic cylinders can be equipped with standard or advanced cushioning systems with customized orifices.
IC-Fluid Power’s Advanced End-Cushioning Options
Cushioning can be either added in the cap/head and the bottom. The following characteristics that can be customized:
Cushion spear length
Needle valve size and adjustment per flow rate
Cavity shape and size
Cushion design (tapered or orifice)
Cushioning profile (single stage or multi-stage with multiple adjustable needle valves, orifices, or other custom-led designs to meet application requirements)
Cushion material
Reverse stroke
Check valve (bypass valve)
We offer rod-locks (Ratio Clamp®) as an optional feature for standard and custom hydraulic cylinders providing added security and functionality.
The Ratio Clamp® is a patented hydraulic clamping device that instantly locks piston rods or round rods, holding loads up to 2,000 kN. This device incorporates a spring force that clamps the rod securely in place without continuous energy, releasing only when hydraulic pressure is applied. Since these rod locks are mechanically locking and hydraulically unlocking, they also can be used as a safety device. This is an easy way to hold a cylinder in position indefinitely while not requiring any input from your HPU (saves money too!).
Check valves block an oil flow in one direction and allow it in the other direction. They are a type of shutoff valve. The check valve is inserted when an oil flow shall be allowed in one direction only. Meanwhile, the usage of check valves prevents backflow of the fluid.
Advantages at a Glance:
Spherical shell
Available as screw-in or caged version
Nominal size 1/16 – 1/8 – 1/4 – 3/8 – 1/2 – 3/4
Working pressure 10,000 psi
BSP or metric thread
The HYTORC-check valves are available with a screw-in or caged design. Even so, both designs can be obtained in two flow directions: with the screw-in direction closed or with free-flow. The spherical cap remains reliably tight in every position, in case of multiple switching cycles and under severe stress.
The HYTORC check valve easily screws into a regular hole (Dimensions screw-in drill). The screw-in check valves are sealed through an edge sealing which is turned to the cage. The edge sealing, together with the drill draft, forms a gap-free chamber for the O-Ring. The gap-free chamber and the O-Ring are repeatable sealing.
The valve is made of a high-strength hardened steel. Moreover, the ball seat is specially treated and the spherical shell is manufactured with a high tensile hardened and polished ball bearing ball. Thus, the design of the check valves is compact and economical which saves space and offers simple installation.

The Hytorc butterfly valve is a component designed to save time for the technician working on the hydraulic system by not having to drain the reservoir. The valve is designed for low pressure hydraulic lines up to 230 psi and can be installed into the pump suction line or mounted directly on to the hydraulic reservoir for example. The maximum pressure differential on either side of the valve should not exceed 58 psi when the valve is closed.

Comparing Size: Butterfly Valve versus Ball Valve on 4″ Pipe
For a 4″ pipe, butterfly valves are nearly 77% shorter and 71% lighter than a ball valve of the same diameter.
Ultra-compact profile to minimize space requirement:
In applications where fitting ball valves into the design poses a challenge, butterfly valves provide an effective solution. These valves are significantly shorter and lighter than their counterparts, facilitating easier handling and installation. The advantages of this design become increasingly evident as the nominal diameter rises. This is particularly beneficial in mobile hydraulics where space is a premium.
Convenient, simplified maintenance:
Thanks to internal clamping bolts, the valve is tightly secured to the reservoir even when even when disconnecting pipes or flexible connectors. This design enables maintenance without draining the reservoir.
Easy installation:
Shut off valves can be fitted between flanges due to the lateral recesses. Alternatively, heavy suction pipes can be held with additional screws.
No loss of oil volume:
The valve’s inner diameter is larger than the pipe, enabling full flow capacity without compromising on oil volume. This feature is crucial for maintaining efficient and precise control.
Automatic locking mechanism:
The self-engaging lock bar provides a secure and stable connection. The lock bar automatically engages in all switch positions; fully open, closed, or at an intermediate position, and ensures arresting of the valve’s position even without a shift lever.
Limit switch for preventative measures:
Prevent damage to your pump by making sure the valve is open prior to turning on the pump.

Universal Hydraulik is a supplier and heat exchanger manufacturer for various applications including construction, mechanical, marine, and industrial.
Bare tube heat exchangers are an ideal choice for cooling high viscosity fluids and particle containing fluids that may clog a cooler with internal cooling fins.
Fail-safe coolers prevent the mixture of fluids should one of the cooling tubes fail. This is achieved by double wall tubes and safety switches that indicate a tube failure.
Hybrid heat exchangers combine the advantages of shell & tube and plate heat exchangers. The larger surface area permits a physically smaller heat exchanger with better cooling capacity.
