The materials and coating of the hydraulic cylinder is utmost important. Most commonly, the cylinder rod is made of steel or stainless steel and is then coated with Hard Chrome Plating.

The working principle of single-acting cylinders are to transfer hydraulic fluids or an output force in one direction only. Within the cylinder, the piston rod can push outwards but cannot pull back, therefore requiring a force in the opposite direction to return the rod back to its original position.

Tie-rod cylinders are most often used in industrial applications. They use high strength, threaded steel rods and nuts to hold square or rectangular end caps to each end of the cylinder barrel. Seals are placed between the barrel and end cap to prevent leakage

A double-acting hydraulic cylinder has a port at each end, supplied with hydraulic fluid for both the retraction and extension of the piston. A double-acting cylinder is used where an external force is not available to retract the piston or it can be used where high force is required in both directions of travel.

Seamless tube is most often used in hydraulics, Seamless tube is used to make hollowed chrome plated telescopic cylinders and hydraulic rods. Seamless Heavy walled tubes are also popular for large bore, heavy walled, high pressure hydraulic cylinders.

Mill – Type are cylinders designed to fill a need for a more durable, more reliable product to reduce down-time and maintenance costs.

Hydraulic seals are gasket-like rings that are designed to seal areas between the components in a hydraulic cylinder. Hydraulic cylinders contain many different components, some of which are exposed to the fluid. To prevent fluid from leaking around these components, hydraulic seals are used. Hydraulic seals are designed to fit the components in a hydraulic cylinder while creating a leak-proof seal around them.

Telescopic cylinders are used when an application requires a compact retracted dimension, but needs a longer stroke. These cylinders are generally single acting and are available in two to five stages. Common mounting options for telescopic cylinders are trunnion and cross-tube.
