Manufacturing · custom design
Alongside our standard types we build cylinders calculated and designed for your application: up to Ø650 mm bore and 9,500 mm stroke.
Every cylinder starts with a calculation: push and pull force, piston speed and stroke time, buckling load, tube wall thickness. Mounting style and free buckling length set the rod diameter, and the drawing follows from there.
Manufacturing drawings and the 3D model are prepared by our engineering team. Seals, cushioning and surface protection are chosen for the fluid, temperature, speed and environment.
Tubes are honed; rods are hard-chrome plated and ground. Parts are deburred, pressure-washed and assembled in a clean area separate from machining.
Every assembled cylinder goes through a pressure and internal-leakage test before leaving the factory. The test checks for seal damage during assembly, internal leakage, axial misalignment, stroke accuracy and, where fitted, the cushioning mechanism.
We also overhaul existing hydraulic cylinders and pumps: strip-down, measurement, rod and tube renewal, seal kit replacement and testing.
We design and build cylinders from Ø32 mm up to Ø650 mm bore and up to 9,500 mm stroke. Besides standard types we make cylinders with mounting dimensions specific to your machine.
Bore and rod diameter, stroke, working and test pressure, mounting type, rod end and eye type, cushioning, fluid and ambient conditions. If you only have load and speed data, we do the sizing for you.
Yes. We build special cylinders with Temposonics position sensors and servo cylinders; our sensor-equipped hold cylinders are in service on vessels.
Yes. Our SHS316 series with 316L tube and rod is designed for ships and offshore service. See the certified marine cylinder page for details.
