Hydraulic Cylinders

Hydraulic cylinders convert the energy transferred to the hydraulic fluid by a pump or accumulator into a linear movement. They are used in a variety of applications where precise and powerful movement is required, for example in building and agricultural machinery, in hydraulic presses and in the manufacturing and automotive industries. The advantages of hydraulic cylinders lie in their high performance, precise controllability and robustness.

Hydraulic cylinders can be used as stand-alone tools or installed in machines and systems. As a stand-alone tool, hydraulic cylinders are used, for example, for lifting and lowering loads, clamping workpieces or moving components. In machines and systems, on the other hand, they are used to implement linear movements or to transmit large forces.

Schaeffler offers hydraulic cylinders manufactured and tested in accordance with the relevant norms and quality standards in various designs suitable for different applications: single or double-acting, with solid or hollow pistons, as flat, telescopic, short-stroke or heavy-duty cylinders, in steel or lightweight metal construction.
