About us
AHP Merkle GmbH has been developing, designing and manufacturing high-quality hydraulic solutions for customers worldwide since 1973. As a second-generation family-run business, AHP stands for quality, innovation and collaborative partnerships.
Today, AHP offers far more than just traditional hydraulic cylinders and is continually evolving into a provider of a wide range of hydraulic drive solutions. There is a particular focus on innovative product development in the field of electro-hydraulic linear drives (E-AHP). With the E-AHP lite, E-AHP basic, E-AHP prove and E-AHP performance series, AHP is setting new standards for intelligent, efficient and future-oriented drive solutions.
Key product areas:
• Hydraulic cylinders – ranging from an extensive standard range to bespoke, customer-specific solutions.
• Electro-hydraulic linear drives (E-AHP) – innovative drive solutions for a wide range of industrial applications.
• ahp.standards – the new standard product range featuring patented Angeled slide units and Double ejection systems.
More than 200 employees at the head office in Gottenheim, as well as at international sites and through sales partners, ensure we are close to our customers worldwide and can deliver fast, cost-effective solutions. A modular product strategy, agile collaboration and the consistent involvement of our employees lay the foundations for innovative developments and long-term business success.

Products & services
E-AHP – the revolutionary alternative to spindle and hydraulic drives.
With the E-AHP electro-hydraulic linear drive, AHP Merkle combines the advantages of electric and hydraulic drive technology to create a high-performance, energy-efficient and forward-looking solution for demanding applications.
E-AHP lite – compact, simple & efficient.
E-AHP lite is characterised by a compact design just like all of our E-AHP units. It does not require any hydraulic power unit, piping, supply hoses, or valve blocks. Cylinder and drive form a single unit. (However, they can also be supplied and used separately.) Unlike its larger models, the E-AHP lite variant is designed for simple movements. Its major advantage is its excellent value for money. Wedge clamps or other standard elements installed on this unit can be operated entirely independently.
