Particularly complex? Particularly large? Particularly special?
Special cylinders
Then these hydraulic cylinders belong in the hands of the experts at HOVEN HYDRAULIK. They offer engineering and manufacturing with an exceptionally high level of in-house expertise, all under one roof and from a single source. With the precision and quality that has ensured, for over 95 years, that hydraulic cylinders from HOVEN HYDRAULIK have become synonymous with high-performance and durable components that guarantee the reliable operation of systems.
Naturally, our processes are certified to DIN EN ISO 9001. Naturally, all welding stages are certified to DIN EN ISO 3834-3. Naturally, we also hold ATEX certification for environments with a high risk of explosion.
Of course, but above all because of our commitment to being the engineers among hydraulics specialists in the manufacture of hydraulic cylinders – the go-to experts for bespoke hydraulic cylinders and small-batch production runs.
Custom-made special cylinders – designed for your application
HOVEN’s custom cylinders are designed for situations where standard solutions reach their limits. Whether dealing with extreme forces, unusual dimensions, specific installation scenarios or special environmental conditions – we develop custom hydraulic cylinders tailored precisely to your technical requirements. From the initial 3D engineering concept through to tested series production or bespoke manufacturing.
Engineering expertise from a single source
Our strength lies in the close integration of all stages of production:
- Design & Calculation (Strength, Service Life, Safety)
- Material selection, surface treatment & appropriate seal selection
- Welding technology & mechanical processing
- Assembly, testing & documentation
Thanks to this vertical integration, we retain full control over quality, deadlines and technical implementation at all times – a decisive advantage when it comes to complex custom cylinders.
Technical capabilities of our special cylinders
- Large cylinders & heavy-duty applications
: Special-purpose cylinders with very large piston and rod diameters of over 1000 mm, high forces and long strokes of up to 8 m. - High pressures & extreme loads
Designed for high operating pressures, fatigue strength, dynamic loads and demanding cycle rates. - Customised designs
: extension, compression, telescopic, synchronous, plunger or multi-chamber cylinders – precisely tailored to the installation space and function. - Special environmental conditions
: special cylinders for corrosive media, high temperatures, offshore applications or potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX).
Special-purpose cylinders for demanding industries
Our custom-made hydraulic cylinders are used in applications such as:
- Mill technology of various designs & crushers with a full range of ancillary equipment, including conveying, screening, shredding and grinding
- Plant and Mechanical Engineering
