Particularly complex? Particularly large? Particularly, particularly?
Special cylinders
HOVEN’s custom cylinders are designed for situations where standard solutions reach their limits. Whether it’s extreme forces, unusual dimensions, specific installation scenarios or special environmental conditions – we develop custom hydraulic cylinders precisely to your technical requirements. From the initial 3D engineering concept right through to tested series production or bespoke manufacturing!
To this end, we combine engineering and manufacturing with a high degree of vertical integration within our own production chain, all under one roof and from a single source. With the precision and quality that have ensured, for over 95 years, that hydraulic cylinders from HOVEN HYDRAULIK are synonymous with high-performance, 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, where required.
Bespoke special cylinders – designed just for you!
Our bespoke hydraulic cylinders are used in many demanding industries and applications, including:
- Mills, crushers and ancillary equipment (conveying, screening, grinding)
- Press construction, pressing equipment and forming technology
- Plant engineering, equipment and specialised machinery manufacturing
- Process Engineering, Chemistry and Petrochemistry
- Test benches, the energy and recycling industries
- Conveyor technology, cranes and mobile hydraulics
- Drilling rigs, shaft and tunnel construction
What do all industries have in common? That reliability, precision and durability are crucial!
Engineering expertise from a single source
Our strength lies in the deep integration of all production stages:
- Design & Calculation (strength, service life, safety, precision)
- Material selection, surface treatment and selection of suitable seals
- Excellent welding techniques & machining
- Assembly, Testing & Documentation
Thanks to this high degree of 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 and large-scale projects.
Technical capabilities of our special cylinders
- Large cylinders & heavy-duty applications
Special-purpose cylinders with very large piston and rod diameters of over 1,000 mm, high forces and long strokes of up to 10,000 mm. - High pressures & extreme loads
Designed for high operating pressures of up to 700 bar, 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, load and function. - Special environmental conditions
Special cylinders for corrosive media, high temperatures, offshore applications or potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX).
Quality, Certification & Safety
Speciality cylinders from HOVEN are synonymous with certified quality:
- Certified processes in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001
- Welding certification in accordance with DIN EN ISO 3834-3
- Comprehensive final inspection, including functional and pressure tests
- ATEX certification for potentially explosive atmospheres
- Documentation and traceability of all production stages
Whether it’s a one-off or a small batch – we always have the right solution
Whether it is a single, highly complex custom cylinder or a small batch of bespoke hydraulic cylinders: we develop cost-effective solutions with a focus on service life, ease of maintenance and total costs throughout the entire product life cycle.
