Hydraulic cylinders are found in most types of equipment where there is the need to lift, push, pull or position parts of the equipment or a load. The movement of the equipment component and the load is accomplished through a hydraulic cylinder and hydraulic system.
This is a highly effective and efficient form of generating the power needed for this type of movement even with heavy equipment or large systems. The problem with standard hydraulic cylinders is the limitations in the ability to extend the required distance for large lifts or movements.
A standard hydraulic cylinder rod is less than the length of the cylinder body, which sets the range of motion for the cylinder and the lift length. By using a telescoping rod, the length of the lift can be extended without increasing the length of the cylinder body.
Finding a Telescoping Hydraulic Cylinder for Sale
Not all hydraulic cylinder manufacturers specialized in telescopic cylinders. Finding a telescoping hydraulic cylinder for sale starts with locating a reputable, established manufacturer. Look for a company that offers custom cylinders that are made to the specifications for your given equipment and application.
It is also essential to know the type of mount required. A telescoping hydraulic cylinder for sale can have a cross tube mount or a trunnion mount. The choice of the correct type of mount is relative to the equipment, and they are not interchangeable.
Another factor to consider is the choice of a standard or custom telescoping hydraulic cylinder for sale. For many types of equipment, a standard cylinder is all that is required, which means fast delivery when choosing a manufacturer with a top inventory. Custom cylinders take longer to design and manufacture, but they also provide the specific capabilities for a given application.
