Frequently Asked Questions
A hydraulic cylinder converts hydraulic pressure into linear force for lifting, pushing, pulling and positioning applications.
Consider load capacity, operating pressure, stroke length, bore size, rod diameter, mounting and application requirements.
Single-acting cylinders use hydraulic pressure in one direction, while double-acting cylinders use hydraulic pressure for both extension and retraction.
A hydraulic jack uses pressurized hydraulic fluid to generate lifting force for heavy-load lifting applications.
Select the jack based on load weight, required lifting height, stroke, operating pressure and application conditions.
A hydraulic jack is primarily designed for lifting, while a hydraulic cylinder provides controlled linear movement such as pushing, pulling and pressing.
Hollow ram jacks are used for applications such as bolt tensioning, tube pulling, shaft extraction and testing.
Consider pressure, flow rate, motor power, reservoir capacity, valves and the equipment being operated.
Common causes include worn seals, damaged rods, loose fittings, contaminated fluid or hydraulic system problems.
Hydraulic cylinders, jacks, power packs, presses and hydraulic tools are commonly used for industrial lifting, pressing and material-handling applications.
