Hydraulic Cylinder: High-Performance Power Solutions for Industrial Applications
What Is a Hydraulic Cylinder?
A hydraulic cylinder is a mechanical actuator that converts hydraulic energy into linear motion and force. It is a core component in heavy-duty and industrial systems where high power, precision, and reliability are essential.
Hydraulic cylinders are widely used across industries such as construction, agriculture, mining, material handling, manufacturing, and automation. At Hidroman, hydraulic cylinders are engineered not just to function—but to deliver long-term operational confidence.
How Does a Hydraulic Cylinder Work?
A hydraulic cylinder operates by directing pressurized hydraulic fluid into the cylinder barrel. This pressure moves the piston, generating linear force through the piston rod.
Key components include:
Cylinder barrel
Piston & piston rod
Sealing system
End caps
Compared to electric or pneumatic systems, hydraulic cylinders provide significantly higher force output in compact designs—one of the main reasons they dominate the US heavy equipment market.
Types of Hydraulic Cylinders
In the United States, the most commonly used hydraulic cylinder types include:
Single-Acting Hydraulic Cylinder
Force applied in one direction
Simple design, cost-effective
Common in lifting and pressing applications
Double-Acting Hydraulic Cylinder
Controlled movement in both directions
Industry standard for industrial machinery
Used in automation, CNC machines, and heavy equipment
Telescopic Hydraulic Cylinder
Multi-stage extension
Ideal for dump trucks and mobile equipment
High stroke length with compact retracted size
Tie-Rod vs. Welded Hydraulic Cylinders
Tie-Rod Cylinders: Easy maintenance, standardized industrial use
Welded Cylinders: Compact, robust design for mobile and heavy-duty applications
Hidroman provides custom hydraulic cylinder solutions tailored to specific operating conditions and industry requirements.
How to Choose the Right Hydraulic Cylinder
When selecting a hydraulic cylinder for industrial use, US buyers typically focus on:
Bore and rod diameter Operating pressure (PSI) Stroke length Seal materials (PU, PTFE, Viton) Rod surface treatment (hard chrome, induction hardened) Compliance with ISO and ASTM standards
Hidroman engineers hydraulic cylinders based on real-world operating environments, not just catalog specifications.
