CYLINDERS

Cylinders are an important drive element in machine construction. The application fields are highly diverse. Stationary, from special-purpose machine construction and bridge-raising cylinders to safety actuation functions in the power plant. Mobile, from crane-telescoping units to agricultural applications. Often working under extreme conditions, high loads and long downtimes.

We tackle these challenges eagerly, backed up by our extensive experience and a wide product range of HZ hydraulic cylinders and HEZ electro-cylinders. We also take customer-specific requirements into account, with a focus on energy efficiency, weight optimisation, service life, maintenance and the system's overall profitability.

By combining the cylinders with HYDAC hydraulic power units and KineSys drive solutions, we are able to provide complete system solutions. On top of this, sensor systems can be integrated or attached to send information on the path, pressure or force to the controller. Combined with the controller and the corresponding drive system, the cylinders can be operated with open-loop or closed-loop control. The extensive product range is rounded off with worldwide service.
