    Compact Hydraulic Cylinders

    With a small body size, these cylinders fit into tight spaces but offer similar push forces to standard hydraulic cylinders. They’re double-acting cylinders, so they have two hydraulic ports—one to extend the piston rod and another to retract it. No matter the direction they’re moving, they can operate at nearly full force. This allows them to both push and pull multi-ton loads. All have a magnetic piston and can be used with sensors (sold separately) that electronically indicate piston position. Mount sensors to the cylinder with mounting brackets (sold separately).

    Profile

    Avoid common O-ring failure in dynamic applications—the square base of these seals prevents twisting, while backup rings protect against extrusion.
    Note: Maximum performance values cannot be achieved simultaneously; for example, speed is affected by pressure, temperature, and other operating conditions.
