Extreme forces? Utmost precision? Continuous stress?
Press cylinder
Then these hydraulic cylinders are in the hands of the specialists at HOVEN HYDRAULIK. Press cylinders are key components in press construction and must operate reliably under extreme conditions – delivering maximum force, the highest repeatability and absolute operational safety.
With over 95 years’ experience in engineering, design and manufacturing, HOVEN Hydraulik develops hydraulic press cylinders that are precisely tailored to the requirements of modern press systems. Manufactured using certified processes in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001 and with welding quality in accordance with DIN EN ISO 3834-3, the company delivers solutions that offer maximum performance even under continuous load.
The result: hydraulic press cylinders that combine precision, power and durability – developed by engineers who deliver the ideal solution even under the most demanding conditions.
Press cylinders for the most demanding requirements in press engineering
Press cylinders are among the most demanding applications in hydraulics. They generate the forces required for forming, pressing or punching processes and must operate with consistent precision and reliability at all times.
HOVEN has decades of experience in press manufacturing and develops press cylinders that are specifically tailored to a wide range of highly varied applications.
Engineering for maximum performance and precision
The design of press cylinders requires a thorough understanding of forces, materials and processes. At HOVEN, all relevant factors are taken into account:
- Precise calculation of pressing forces and loads
- Optimal sizing of the piston, rod and housing
- Coordinated sealing and guide designs
- Taking into account tolerances in the micrometre range
- Designed for high cycle rates and continuous operation
Quality, precision and fatigue strength are particularly crucial in press manufacturing, which is why every detail in the design and production process is carefully coordinated.
Technical capabilities of our press cylinders
HOVEN press cylinders offer a wide range of capabilities:
- High forces and pressure ranges for demanding forming processes
- Large dimensions and strokes for industrial press systems
- Robust designs for continuous operation and high cyclic loading
- Customised designs depending on the type of press and the application
- Special coatings and materials for wear protection and durability
With machinery capable of handling cylinders up to 700 bar, with a stroke of 10 metres and a weight of 20 tonnes, even the most demanding hydraulic cylinders can be manufactured.
Applications of press cylinders
Our hydraulic press cylinders are used in a wide variety of applications:
- Press manufacturing and forming technology
- Punching and bending processes
- Metalworking and heavy industry
- Mechanical and plant engineering
- Special-purpose machinery and automated manufacturing
Wherever high forces need to be transmitted precisely and reliably.
