Hydraulic Cylinders for Industrial Applications
Hydraulic cylinders are essential wherever precise linear force is required, with the ability to exert pressures ranging from a few bars to several tonnes per square inch.
As one of the most critical components of any hydraulic system or mobile machine, their accuracy directly impacts the reliability and performance of your end product.

Types and Technical Specifications of Hydraulic Cylinders
Hydraulic cylinders are classified into several types, each designed to meet specific application requirements. Below are the most commonly used types of hydraulic cylinders in industrial and mobile equipment:
- Mill Type Hydraulic Cylinders – built with robust construction, ideal for heavy-duty applications requiring high operating pressure.
- Tie Rod Type Hydraulic Cylinders – easy to assemble and maintain, widely used in industrial machinery.
- Welded Type Hydraulic Cylinders – compact and durable, preferred in mobile equipment where space is limited.
- Telescopic Hydraulic Cylinders – designed for long stroke applications, common in dump trucks and lifting equipment.
- Servo Cylinders – precision-engineered for high accuracy, suitable for automation and servo-controlled systems.
Depending on the selected type, technical specifications such as bore size, stroke length, mounting style, and operating pressure can be customized to match the exact requirements of your application.

A Hydraulic Cylinder essentially consists of a piston and rod assembly enclosed in a cylindrical bore. It is actuated by the pressure and flow of hydraulic fluid to generate mechanical force and linear motion.
We can design and supply ready-to-use hydraulic cylinders, complete with all necessary safety features and integrated control valves. To achieve the best solution, it is essential to understand the specific application and consider the technical parameters that influence performance.

While designing hydraulic cylinders, we also take customer-specific requirements into account, ensuring compact design, energy efficiency, long service life, and ease of maintenance.
Hydraulic cylinders are widely used in industrial and mobile applications, from machine presses and cranes to trucks and heavy equipment. Wherever linear force is required, hydraulic cylinders are in motion.
To keep hydraulic fluid pressurized and ensure reliable cylinder operation, high-performance sealing systems are essential. These seals fall into two main categories: Static Seals and Dynamic Seals, both supported by Guide Rings for durability and smooth function.
These remain fixed and do not move under pressure. They include O-rings, backup rings, cover seals, and gaskets, ensuring leak-proof performance in stationary areas.
These operate under axial and/or radial movement when pressurized. Common types include piston seals, rod seals, wipers, and oil seals, all designed to maintain sealing under motion.
Guide rings prevent direct metal-to-metal contact between moving parts. They ensure smooth operation by guiding the piston inside the cylinder bore and the rod inside the cylinder head.
With years of expertise, our principals and associates have built strong partnerships with leading seal manufacturers, giving us access to all types of hydraulic seals.
Whatever seal brand or specification your cylinder requires – we can provide the perfect solution to maintain reliability and performance.
