Products & Services
Electrohydraulic Cylinders
Electrohydraulic cylinders are actuation devices that use pressurized hydraulic fluid to produce linear motion and force. A hydraulic pump is an integral part of the cylinder design.
Cylinder Repair Services
Cylinder repair services rebuild and refurbish used or damaged cylinders. They disassemble and clean cylinders, inspect them for cracks and other damage, and re-hone cylinder surfaces.
Rodless Cylinders
Rodless cylinders are linear devices that use pressurized fluid to move a load within many power transfer operations.
Electrohydraulic Valve Actuators and Hydraulic Valve Actuators
Electrohydraulic valve actuators and hydraulic valve actuators convert fluid pressure supply pressure into motion.
Linear Actuators
Electric linear actuators have an output rod that provides linear motion via a motor driven ball screw, lead screw, or ACME screw assembly. The actuator's load is attached to the end of a screw or rod and is often unsupported.
