Hydraulics manufacturer Hydrooffice offers you the opportunity to purchase hydraulic cylinders directly from the source. Depending on the intended application, hydraulic cylinders come in various types and sizes.
Before purchasing a hydraulic cylinder, consider its operating principle.
Hydraulic cylinders have a wide range of applications.
They are used in agricultural machinery, mechanical engineering, metallurgy, and hydropower, as well as in mines, quarries, and facilities for metalworking, woodworking, and other industrial sectors.
Based on their mechanical design, they are categorized into several types:
- Plunger-type hydraulic cylinder: features a plunger—a metal cylinder with a length greater than its diameter—as the moving element.
- Piston-type hydraulic cylinder: utilizes a piston and a piston rod as the moving mechanism.
Furthermore, hydraulic cylinders are classified as either single-acting or double-acting. In single-acting cylinders, the working fluid enters the chamber, and its pressure pushes the rod out; the rod returns to its initial position under the influence of an external load. In double-acting cylinders, the fluid is directed alternately into the cylinder barrel chamber and the rod-side chamber, enabling both the extension and retraction strokes. Such models offer greater versatility in application. Other distinguishing characteristics among hydraulic cylinders include their operating pressure and the speed at which the piston moves. You can order the manufacturing or repair of hydraulic cylinders in Lviv at manufacturer prices on the website.
