Hydraulic Actuators | High-Force Linear & Rotary Motion Solutions
Precision-engineered hydraulic actuators that deliver high force, smooth control and long service life, even in the toughest environments.
A hydraulic actuator converts the energy of pressurised fluid into mechanical motion. It produces powerful linear or rotary movement, so it suits applications where heavy loads must be lifted, pushed, pulled or rotated with accuracy.
Hydraulic actuators give far greater force in a compact size than pneumatic or electric alternatives. That makes them a good choice for demanding, high-load operations.
Key Features & Benefits
- High force output: moves heavy loads with ease.
- Precise control: smooth, accurate positioning and speed control.
- Rugged construction: hardened rods, high-grade seals and corrosion-resistant finishes.
- Compact design: high power density in a small footprint.
- Long service life: built for continuous duty and low maintenance.
- Customisable: bore, stroke, mounting style and pressure rating made to your specification.
Types of Hydraulic Actuators
| Type | Description | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Single-acting cylinders | Hydraulic force in one direction, return by spring or load | Lifts, jacks, presses |
| Double-acting cylinders | Hydraulic force in both directions | Excavators, industrial machinery |
| Telescopic cylinders | Multi-stage, long stroke from a short retracted length | Dump trucks, cranes |
| Rotary actuators | Convert hydraulic pressure into rotation | Valves, robotics, material handling |
| Hydraulic motors | Continuous rotary motion | Conveyors, winches, drives |
