WHAT IS A MULTI-STAGE HYDRAULIC CYLINDER?

 Multi-stage hydraulic cylinders are a recent innovation that have enabled us to customize and enhance the application of various types of machinery. They are used for a wide range of applications including cultivation, construction, and civil engineering.

Let’s take a look at the benefits and applications of multi-stage hydraulic cylinders.

The primary advantage of the multi-stage hydraulic cylinder lies in the extension capabilities of its cylinder shaft, allowing it a far longer stroke when compared with other cylinders.

It consists of various tubular rods known as sleeves. These sleeves (usually five or six) are of decreasing diameters and are placed within each other. Once pressure is pumped into the cylinder, the largest sleeve (also known as barrel or main) is the first to extend. It is followed by subsequent sleeves up to the last one (known as a plunger) until it reaches its maximum extension.

The compact design of the custom multi-stage hydraulic cylinder or telescopic hydraulic cylinders allows it to enhance the function of process operations by proving particularly useful in areas where space is limited, and high amounts of pressure and force are required.

Wuxi YUTONG has been supplying and exporting custom hydraulic cylinder for almost 25 years. We offer a variety of specialty hydraulic cylinders for many industrial and mobile applications, including on and offshore oil industry, injection molding machines, steel industry, testing equipment and more. Custom cylinders are available in different types such as telescopic cylinders, tie-rod cylinders, large bore cylinders, long stroke cylinders, etc
