Our products
  • Press cylinders
    • Two-stage and three-stage press cylinders
    • Different conventional variants and special design formats
    • Among other features with shortened installation dimensions for use in smaller start foundation excavation
    • Self-supporting over the entire extension length
    • No additional support required
    • Different designs of pressure plates for rapid assembly and disassembly of the cylinders
  • Expansion cylinders
    • For use in intermediate press stations (expansion stations)
    • Different stroke lengths and a range of different dimensions
    • Adjusted to the pressure force required in each individual case

    • With the use of expansion stations, all supply and discharge lines must also be capable of having an adequate change of length carried out
  • Press frame cylinders
    • Mostly single-stage, for use in compact press frames
    • Standard cylinder as well as intermediate and special solutions for different stroke lengths, different installation spaces, and different press forces
    • Development of special solutions to clients’ specifications, and always in close co-operation with our design department

    • Used in steerable tunnel boring machines
    • By way of the control linkage, these allow for steering of the machines in all directions
    • Different design formats
    • With and without position measuring systems
      (The position measuring systems used by Heynck and integrated in the cylinders are compatible with the conventional commercial systems, which means they are a genuine alternative if replacement is needed)
