Straightness Is More Than a Dimensional DetailWhen a hydraulic piston rod moves in and out of a cylinder, it follows a defined axis through the rod seal, guide, and cylinder assembly. If the rod is not sufficiently straight, the resulting movement can place additional loads on the sealing and guidin
These Two Products Are Related but Not IdenticalHoned tubes and cold drawn tubes are both widely used in hydraulic cylinder manufacturing, but they are not simply two names for the same product. The difference is mainly related to the manufacturing condition, dimensional requirements, internal surfa
Selecting a Hydraulic Cylinder Rod Starts With the ApplicationChoosing a hydraulic cylinder rod is not simply a matter of selecting a diameter and length from a catalog. The piston rod is a critical working component that transfers force while moving repeatedly through the cylinder sealing system.A
