    Special machine construction

    Special machine construction requires customized technology that can be adapted precisely to the application. At Hense, the focus is on the customer’s individual solution: after clarifying all interfaces, we develop optimal, precisely tailored concepts. In addition to standard actuators, we offer specialized rotary actuators, which we can implement from a quantity of 1. Thanks to sound technical advice and our complete in-house development, we create solutions that make optimum use of the available installation space, work reliably and can be integrated smoothly. High precision, long service life and easy handling are a matter of course for us. We implement even complex requirements economically – thanks to our modular design and many years of experience in a wide range of industry projects.

    Increased safety requirements

    Increased safety requirements

    In sensitive areas where maximum safety is required, rotary actuators from Hense Systeme offer tested and robust technology. On request, they can be certified for potentially explosive zones or designed for seawater requirements, for example. Each system is adapted precisely to the requirements and carefully tested before delivery. Most of the production takes place in-house, which allows us to guarantee not only quality, but also delivery stability, vertical integration and maximum control over the process.

    Test bench technology

    Test bench technology

    In testing technology, reproducible movements, precise control and high repeat accuracy are crucial. Hense Systeme develops rotary actuators that reliably meet these requirements. Our solutions are designed for highly dynamic test cycles and enable precise, documentable motion sequences. They can be flexibly adapted to test environments and function stably and safely even under intensive use.

    The motors are equipped with the appropriate accessories and delivered tailored to the respective application. For optimum function and completion of the system, Hense Systeme also offers associated components such as rotary encoders, pulsation accumulators or torsionally rigid couplings. Whether for simple series test benches or highly specialized systems: we advise you individually, deliver quickly and guarantee technical quality that you can rely on.

    Custom rotary actuators

    Special solutions that fit your movement exactly

    When standard solutions do not work, our greatest strength comes into play: we develop rotary actuators that are application-independent and precisely tailored to your requirements. Thanks to decades of experience, sound advice and modular basic solutions, we deliver your individual drives quickly, cost-effectively and reliably on the desired date – and all this from a quantity of 1.

    For maximum quality, we test the specific rotary actuator for the applicable requirements before delivery. In this way, we ensure that your drive delivers what it promises in practice and over its entire life cycle. Everything is created completely in-house, without any dependence on third parties. Your advantage: We operate independently of global bottlenecks and can guarantee both quality and delivery times.

      General information on rotary actuators.

      A hydraulic rotary actuator converts the pressure and volume flow of a hydraulic system into a limited rotary movement. This usually takes place via a rotary vane, which is moved into a defined swivel position by the hydraulic pressure. The maximum swivel angle is specified by the design and is always less than 360 degrees.

      Depending on the design or application, hydraulic rotary actuators are also referred to as rotary vane motors, rotary cylinders or rotary actuators. In English, terms such as “rotary actuator”, “swivel motor” or “hydraulic rotary drive” are commonly used.

      With high-quality workmanship and a suitable design, hydraulic rotary actuators are extremely durable. Many models – including those from Hense Systeme – are generally maintenance-free. For special operating conditions, individual maintenance recommendations may be useful, which we will coordinate as part of our consultation.

      Hydraulic rotary actuators are used wherever a limited rotary movement is required: e.g. for moving flaps, grippers, pallet changing systems, tool changing systems, or door stand technology. They can be found in mechanical engineering, automation, special plant engineering and many other industrial sectors.

      A normal hydraulic motor generates a continuous rotary movement. Rotary actuators, on the other hand, are specially designed for limited angles of rotation and offer compact, high-torque solutions for precise, controlled swivel movements. They are easier to integrate and control – especially for recurring and fast, defined motion sequences.
