Materials vary upon application but, the most common are variants of mild and stainless steel selected for their hardness, strength, and ability to resist wear and tear during repetitive operations, or to ensure functionality in hostile environments. Internal surfaces are typically chrome-plated and honed to minimise friction for smooth movement cycle after cycle.
Precision engineered cylinders provide accurate repeatable motion for industrial equipment and machinery, ensuring highly precise operations often within tolerances of just a few microns and enhancing overall productivity and reliability.
Customisation spans a range of factors including bore size, rod diameter, stroke length, cushioning characteristics, and mounting configurations to withstand task-specific loads.
Precision hydraulic cylinders are further defined by their remarkable level of accuracy and repeatability. Engineered with exacting tolerances as low as ±0,01mm and highly polished surfaces, hydraulic cylinders can deliver positional accuracy comparable to that of electronic ball screws. Feedback systems help to maintain control over acceleration, velocity, and positioning for delicate tasks.
We’ve been manufacturing hydraulic cylinders for many customers and have a wealth of experience and expertise and often advise customers when they have a new requirement but are unsure of what material, sizes or tolerances are required in order to achieve their project scope.
