Cylinder types

Cushioned cylinders

Component wear from shock at the end of stroke movement can be a major factor in shortening the working life of a hydraulic cylinder and its connected parts. Using a cushion to control this kinetic energy internally in the cylinder is an effective prevention method.

Cushioned cylinders

Cushions can be fitted to both ends of the stroke limits, and can be fixed or adjustable.

By using precision cushioning components these limit the oil flow which in turn decelerates movement
