About Eiken Hydraulik
Eiken Hydraulik is a manufacturer of hydraulic cylinders located in Meppen in the western Emsland region, directly at the A31/E233 motorway junction. The company produces standard and custom-made hydraulic cylinders – including special cylinders, double-acting (parallel) and telescopic cylinders, as well as cylinders with stroke measuring systems – in steel, stainless steel and aluminium with diameters from 10 mm to 1000 mm. Manufacturing includes machining to sample or drawing on conventional and CNC machines (turning, milling), NC-controlled honing up to 10000 mm length, and hard chrome plating in cooperation with partner companies. The service portfolio is complemented by a seal warehouse with over 20,000 seals (10–250 mm), hose and pipe line service, pump overhauls, repairs and on-site hydraulic service. Design, new production and service are all provided from a single source with a high level of in-house manufacturing depth and technical manufacturing documentation.
