Telescopic Hydraulic Cylinders
Telescopic cylinders are used when an application requires a compact retracted dimension, but needs a longer stroke. These cylinders are generally single acting and are available in two to five stages. Common mounting options for telescopic cylinders are trunnion and cross-tube.
Double Acting Hydraulic Cylinders
A double-acting hydraulic cylinder has a port at each end, supplied with hydraulic fluid for both the retraction and extension of the piston. A double-acting cylinder is used where an external force is not available to retract the piston or it can be used where high force is required in both directions of travel.
Single Acting Hydraulic Cylinders
The working principle of single-acting cylinders are to transfer hydraulic fluids or an output force in one direction only. Within the cylinder, the piston rod can push outwards but cannot pull back, therefore requiring a force in the opposite direction to return the rod back to its original position.
Tie-Rod Type Hydraulic Cylinders
Tie-rod cylinders are most often used in industrial applications. They use high strength, threaded steel rods and nuts to hold square or rectangular end caps to each end of the cylinder barrel. Seals are placed between the barrel and end cap to prevent leakage
Intermediate Trunnion Type
Trunnion mounted cylinders are heavy duty pivoting cylinders with pintles mounted to the head, cap or intermediate position. Although superior to clevis or pivot mounted cylinders, they may still require stop tubes in long stroke applications.
Mill Duty Hydraulic Cylinders
Mill – Type are cylinders designed to fill a need for a more durable, more reliable product to reduce down-time and maintenance costs.
Welded Type Hydraulic Cylinder
Welded hydraulic cylinders feature a compact, robust design with end caps welded directly to the cylinder barrel. Ideal for heavy-duty applications, they offer high pressure resistance, reduced maintenance needs, and excellent performance in tight or mobile equipment setups.
