A guide to Hydrolic Cylinders
Hydraulic cylinders were first developed in the late 18th Century. Hydraulic systems are based on Pascal’s law of fluid pressure, which states that when pressure is applied on a fluid, an equal pressure will be exerted throughout that fluid in all directions.
Hydraulic cylinders can be used for any application where a strong push or pull force is required. They initially found numerous uses during the industrial revolution, when the increase of factories and production required multiple hydraulic applications. Now, hydraulic cylinders are utilised in equipment across a wide range of industries – including construction, manufacture, mining and offshore industries.
