High Force Capability

The ability of hydraulic systems to deliver high forces is a major reason for the technology’s popularity. High pressure enables smaller cylinders to achieve high forces. For example, 3-inch and 5-inch bore cylinders at 2200 psi can achieve approximately 15,000 lbf (66,723.3 kN) and 43,000 lbf (191,273.5 kN), respectively.


Simple Design

Hydraulics are well-known and cylinder designs are quite simple. Many engineers are familiar with hydraulics.


Rugged Construction Hydraulic Cylinder Cutaway

Hydraulic actuators are known for being rugged enough to withstand harsh conditions. They can be durable and reliable if deployed in the right application. Their rugged design means they can handle shock loads.
