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