About us
Heinrich Paasch Maschinenbau GmbH was founded in Leipzig in 1991 and is based in the Knautnaundorf district in the south-west of the city, accessible via the A38 and the B186. The company manufactures custom hydraulic cylinders in various designs – single and double-acting, as differential, parallel, telescopic and plunger cylinders as well as pressure intensifiers – up to a piston diameter of 250 mm, a stroke length of 2000 mm and operating pressures up to 500 bar. In addition, hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders are repaired, including seal replacement, special seals, piston rod renewal and barrel reworking. The machining operations include CNC and conventional turning and milling, drilling, sawing as well as CNC keyway broaching of keyways to DIN 6885 from single parts to medium series. Materials processed include steels, stainless steel, aluminium, plastics, non-ferrous metals and cast materials. The company also offers design, assembly, maintenance and servicing of assemblies and systems for industry and trade.
