A hydraulic cylinder is a mechanical actuator used to supply unidirectional force through a unidirectional stroke. Hydraulic cylinders are used in almost every sector and are available in a variety of configurations. The two main types of hydraulic cylinders are Tie-rod and Welded. Each of these cylinder types can have unique applications due to their hydraulic cylinder china styles. Tie-rod cylinders are often installed in light to moderate duty applications and tend to be designed to become repaired or re-loaded if necessary. Welded cylinders are made for most applications and are more complex in design but are generally more difficult to repair due to the welded design. Welded cylinders are usually a better solution due to their compact design so when a more robust style is important within an application.
