AHP MERKLE MHZ 160 Series
Overview
The MHZ 160 is a magnetic-sensor-ready round hydraulic cylinder from AHP Merkle, operating at 160 bar (2,320 psi) nominal pressure. It is essentially a HZ 160 cylinder with a factory-integrated sensor groove for direct mounting of magnetic field sensors (e.g., MBZ/MHZ 160 sensors), designed for closed-loop position feedback in automation, machine tools, and mold applications.
Core Specifications
- Max Working Pressure: 160 bar (2,320 psi)
- Construction: Round body, screwed head & base (compact, rigid)
- Bore Sizes: Ø16, 20, 25, 32, 40, 50, 63, 80, 100 mm
- Rod Diameters: Matched to bore (e.g., 32/16, 40/20, 50/25 mm)
- Standard Stroke: Up to 2,000 mm (custom strokes available)
- Fluid Temp: -20°C to +80°C (standard NBR seals); up to +120°C (FKM optional)
- Sensor Compatibility: Magnetic field sensors (MBZ/MHZ 160 series), max 80°C
A: Depends on the style of tie-rod. We would like to cast and forge once the quantity above 100 pcs.
A: Well, it depends on the quantity and style of hydrualic cylinders, at least 60 days if we make casting and forging, at least 35 days by maching.
A: Sure, we are the manufacutuer and trading of hydraulic cylinder.
A: Double-Acting-have a port at each end, supplied with hydraulic fluid for both the retraction and extension. Single-Acting-hydraulic fluid enters through
a port at one end of the cylinder, which extends the rod by means of area difference. An external force or gravity returns the piston rod.
A: Sure. Show us the drawing, we will quote for you soonest.
A: Yes, we make and supply a wide rang of hydrualic cylinders as a proffetional manufacture, there are only some kinds of them show on the website. Freely contact us to get more information.
- Cylinder Tube: High-strength seamless steel, thick-walled for high lateral load resistance.
- Piston Rod: Induction-hardened, precision-ground, hard-chrome-plated (wear/corrosion resistant).
- Sensor Groove: Precision-machined longitudinal groove on the OD (no brackets needed; saves space/installation time).
- Sealing System:
- V: NBR (nitrile rubber) – standard, -20°C to +80°C.
- E: FKM (Viton®) – high-temp, -20°C to +120°C.
- Mounting Options: Front thread, flange, foot, clevis, rear flange, etc..
Key Advantages
- Integrated Sensor Groove: Eliminates external brackets; improves sensor reliability and reduces installation effort.
- Compact & Rigid: Round body design saves space and handles high lateral loads.
- Precision Positioning: Direct sensor mounting ensures accurate, repeatable feedback for automated processes.
- Proven Durability: Hardened rod + high-performance seals for long service life in industrial environments.
- Easy Maintenance: Modular design; seals/sensors replaceable on-site.
Typical Applications
- Machine Tools: Workpiece clamping, slide drives with position confirmation.
- Mold & Die: Core pulling, ejection, locking with stroke-end detection.
- Automation Lines: Precision positioning, clamping, material handling with closed-loop control.
- Automotive: Welding fixtures, assembly stations, pressing operations with position verification.
