Cylinders

Cylinders are an important drive element in machine engineering. They are used in an extensive range of applications. In stationary applications, from special-purpose engineering and bridge lifting cylinders to safety actuation functions in the power station. In mobile applications, from the crane telescoping unit to uses in agriculture. Often having to deal with extreme conditions, high loads and long holding times.

Cylinders – linear drive solutions for every requirement

Cylinders are essential components in modern machinery and system technology. They perform precise linear movements, transmit forces and position, lift, adjust or secure objects – reliably and precisely tailored to each specific application. Our portfolio offers you tailored solutions that meet the highest technical standards.

Different technologies are used depending on the requirements: Hydraulic cylinders are renowned for their exceptional power density and durability, even under the most demanding operating conditions. Electric cylinders enable clean, energy-efficient and highly precise linear movement without the need for hydraulics or pneumatics. The portfolio is complemented by powerful actuators designed for demanding closed-loop control, open-loop control and safety functions.

Autonomous drive systems offer a particularly high degree of independence in this regard: they combine a hydraulic unit, accumulator, control and safety components into one compact, self-contained system. This makes them ideal for applications that lack an external hydraulic power supply or for systems that require maximum operational reliability, emergency functions and high availability – even under safety-critical or remote operating conditions.

All cylinder and actuator solutions are modular in design, individually configurable and consistently engineered for reliability, durability and efficiency. Thanks to our extensive expertise in development, design, and manufacturing – from individual components to complete systems – we deliver solutions that are precisely tailored to your application, industry and process requirements. With us, you’ll always find the right cylinder for your linear drive application.
