Company & brand
Who you are actually buying from
Two registered companies stand behind every shipment, and one trademark goes on the part. Here is exactly how they fit together — so your compliance team never has to guess.
Manufacturing
Changzhou Time Machinery Technology Co., Ltd.
Our production base in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province. CNC machining, assembly, heat and surface treatment control, and the pressure-test laboratory all sit under this roof.
Trade & export
Shanghai Ikin® Hydraulic Co., Ltd.
Handles international contracts, documentation and shipping. Your PI, packing list and certificate of origin are issued here.
Brand structure
IKIN® · TIME Hydraulic
IKIN® is our registered trademark and the mark stamped on the product. TIME Hydraulic is the operating brand you deal with commercially. Same factory, same parts.
What we make
Three lines. One system.
Test points, the hoses and fittings that connect to them, and the gauge adapters at the other end. Because we build all three, the sealing geometry actually matches across the whole loop.
LINE 01
Hydraulic test points
Self-sealing check-valve test couplings for manifolds, valve blocks and power units. Cone-seal geometry protected by an invention patent, with the dust cap fitted as standard.
- M16×2
- M16×1.5
- Steel / 316L
- 630 bar
LINE 02
Test hoses & fittings
DN2 / DN3 / DN4 micro-bore test hose assemblies made to your length, plus the adaptors, tees and extensions that go with them. Every assembly is pressure-tested before it is coiled.
- DN2 · DN3 · DN4
- Custom length
- Crimped & tested
LINE 03
Pressure gauge connectors
Straight, 45° and 90° gauge adaptors, swivel connectors and gauge isolators. Threads to BSP, NPT, metric and JIC — specify it and we will make it.
- BSP · NPT
- Metric · JIC
- 45° / 90°
The IKIN standard
Six things we do not compromise on
A test point fails quietly and leaks expensively. These six controls are why ours don’t.
-
01 Sealing
Patented cone seal
A metal-to-metal cone seal covered by our own invention patent — no elastomer to swell, harden or extrude at pressure.
-
02 Pressure
Working pressure to 630 bar
Rated for continuous duty at up to 630 bar, with burst margin verified batch by batch in our own lab.
-
03 Quality control
100% factory tested
Every single unit is pressure and dimension checked before packing. No sampling plans, no exceptions.
-
04 Traceability
Raw material traced end to end
Mill certificates are logged against each production batch, so any part we have shipped can be traced back to its steel.
-
05 As standard
Dust cap included
Protective caps ship with the fitting, not as a line item you discover you forgot to order.
-
06 OEM
Free logo customisation
Your mark laser-etched on the body at no extra tooling or unit cost, backed by the same 3-year warranty.
Interchangeability
Drops into what you already run
Most buyers reach us because a European original has a 12-week lead time. Our parts are dimensionally interchangeable with the series below — same thread, same seat, same coupling face.
Brand and series names are the property of their respective owners and are shown for identification and dimensional reference only. IKIN® products are not manufactured by or affiliated with these companies.
| Original brand | Series we replace | IKIN® equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| Stauff | SMK 20 | Available — request cross-reference |
| Minimess | 1620 · 1215 | Available — request cross-reference |
| MCS | Test 20 | Available — request cross-reference |
| Minipress | EMA3 | Available — request cross-reference |
| Spradow | EMA3 · 1620 | Available — request cross-reference |
How we got here
From distributor to manufacturer
We sold someone else’s test points for four years before we made our own. That is why we knew exactly what to fix.
-
2009
Founded as a distributor
The company begins as the exclusive China distributor for a German test-fitting brand, handling promotion and after-sales nationwide.
-
2013
Going our own way
The distribution partnership ends over differences in direction. We decide to develop our own product instead of representing someone else’s.
-
2014
R&D starts with wind power
We develop our first proprietary test fittings and validate them in the most demanding sector we could find — wind turbine hydraulics.
-
2017
Changzhou plant in production
With reliability testing complete, we build the manufacturing base and technical team in Changzhou, Jiangsu. Series production and export begin.
-
2019 · 2022
High-Tech Enterprise, twice
Recognised as a High-Tech Enterprise of Jiangsu Province, then re-certified three years later.
-
2023
Engineering Technology Research Centre
Certified as a Municipal Engineering Technology Research Centre for hydraulic connection technology.
-
2024
Gazelle Enterprise
Named a Gazelle Enterprise of Jiangsu Province and a Municipal Specialised & Refined Enterprise.
-

Where they end up
Six places our fittings work every day
Anywhere a technician needs a pressure reading without shutting the system down and draining oil onto the floor.
SYS.01
Hydraulic valve blocks
Permanent gauge ports machined straight into the manifold, so pressure at each stage can be read in seconds.
SYS.02
Hydraulic systems & power units
Commissioning, fault-finding and routine pressure checks on pumps, accumulators and return lines.
SYS.03
Construction machinery
Excavators, cranes and concrete pumps — where service intervals are short and downtime is expensive.
SYS.04
Wind power
Pitch and brake circuits inside the nacelle, where a service visit costs more than the whole fitting.
SYS.05
Presses & moulding machines
Clamp and injection pressure monitoring on machines that run continuous shifts.
SYS.06
Mobile & agricultural machinery
Tractors, harvesters and material handlers serviced in the field with a portable gauge kit.
Supply partners
Established partnerships with leading companies.
Company names are shown for reference only and remain the property of their respective owners.
