Services
Cushioned Hydraulic Cylinders
Our cushioned hydraulic cylinders regulate motion through controlled deceleration mechanisms. These systems use plunger designs or metering orifices to manage hydraulic fluid flow, reducing impact forces by up to 40% in high-pressure applications. Customizable features include adjustable bleed orifices and specialized coatings for extreme environments.
Double Acting Cylinders
Engineered for 5,000 PSI operations, these cylinders deliver force in both extension and retraction phases. Aluminum construction reduces weight by 30% while maintaining durability. Custom configurations include specialized seals for temperatures ranging from -40F to 250F and mounting options for complex machinery integration.
Integrated Valves
Hydraulic cylinders with built-in control valves eliminate external plumbing requirements. This design reduces system complexity by 60% while improving response times through direct actuator integration. Available configurations include pressure relief, flow control, and sequencing functions within compact industrial packages.
Linear Feedback Cylinders
These cylinders incorporate position sensors for real-time motion control. With 0.001 inch accuracy, they enable closed-loop hydraulic systems for automation applications. Standard features include LVDT sensors and compatibility with PLC control systems for industrial machinery optimization.
Tie Rod Cylinders
Four-rod configuration cylinders handle pressures up to 3,265 PSI with modular construction for easy maintenance. Hard chrome-plated rods and ductile iron end caps provide 25% longer service life in construction equipment applications. Available in clevis-mounted configurations for mobile machinery integration.

Report
They had the parts that I needed to fix my log splitter, but they charge far too much for shipping. They charged $25 for one O ring and some tiny parts for a cylinder (total weight under .5 lbs). That is egregious of them to charge such a high cost to ship small items a few states away. If you can get the parts elsewhere, do it.
