Hydraulic cylinders are systems that use the pressure of a liquid to perform mechanical work. They enable tools and machines to produce significant output forces using the principles of pressure and hydraulics. Hydraulic cylinders are commonly used in vehicles, construction equipment, manufacturing machinery, and hydraulically powered tools.

These cylinders operate by transferring liquid from one part of an enclosed system to another, applying an output pressure. This pressure acts on a piston on the other side of the system, forcing it upward to lift a particular load. Hydraulic cylinders are valuable since a small force applied at a large distance can be translated into a large force that moves at a shorter distance.

Hydraulic cylinders, like any other machinery with moving parts, are susceptible to wear and failure. These sophisticated pieces of equipment require all parts and components to work together in unison. The entire system performance can be affected if even the smallest part is compromised. Therefore, it is essential to perform regular hydraulic cylinder testing, inspection, and maintenance to ensure these systems work at optimal capacity.

Hydraulic cylinders are available in many unique sizes and configurations depending on their application.
