Custom Hydraulic Cylinders Manufacturer
Tonghesheng manufactures custom hydraulic cylinders for OEM equipment manufacturers, machinery builders, and replacement applications.
Standard catalogue cylinders do not always match the installation dimensions, mounting geometry, stroke, pressure, or operating conditions required by a specific machine. Custom cylinders are developed around these actual requirements.
Projects can start from a complete engineering drawing, an existing cylinder, a sample, or available application information. Our custom range includes welded hydraulic cylinders, telescopic hydraulic cylinders, single-acting cylinders, double-acting cylinders, and tie-rod cylinders.
Choose the Right Custom Hydraulic Cylinder
The cylinder structure should match the equipment movement, installation space, load conditions, and hydraulic system.
|
Requirement |
Suitable Cylinder Type |
|
Long stroke with limited installation space |
Telescopic Hydraulic Cylinder |
|
Compact configuration for mobile equipment |
Welded Hydraulic Cylinder |
|
Controlled extension and retraction |
Double-Acting Hydraulic Cylinder |
|
Hydraulic force in one direction |
Single-Acting Hydraulic Cylinder |
|
Industrial equipment requiring a serviceable structure |
Tie-Rod Hydraulic Cylinder |
Cylinder type is only the starting point. Stroke, mounting geometry, load direction, working pressure, duty cycle, and installation dimensions also need to be confirmed.
Custom Hydraulic Cylinder Types
Custom Welded Hydraulic Cylinders
Welded cylinders are commonly used in construction machinery, agricultural equipment, lifting systems, transport equipment, and other mobile applications.
The cylinder body and mounting arrangement can be adapted to the equipment structure. Custom requirements may include bore and rod dimensions, stroke, mounting interfaces, hydraulic ports, overall dimensions, and surface treatment.
Custom Telescopic Hydraulic Cylinders
Telescopic cylinders provide a long working stroke while maintaining a relatively short retracted length.
They are commonly considered for dump trucks, tipper trailers, lifting equipment, and other applications with restricted installation space.
The design review may include stroke, retracted length, number of stages, mounting arrangement, load conditions, and working pressure.
Custom Double-Acting Hydraulic Cylinders
Double-acting cylinders use hydraulic pressure for both extension and retraction.
They are suitable for equipment requiring controlled movement in both directions, including construction machinery, agricultural equipment, industrial machinery, and material handling systems.
Custom Single-Acting Hydraulic Cylinders
Single-acting cylinders generate hydraulic force in one direction. Return movement may rely on gravity, an external load, or a mechanical return system.
Typical applications include lifting, tipping, positioning, and other one-direction hydraulic operations.
Custom Tie-Rod Hydraulic Cylinders
Tie-rod cylinders are commonly used in industrial machinery and equipment where a serviceable cylinder structure is required.
Customization may include cylinder dimensions, stroke, mounting configuration, hydraulic connections, and pressure requirements.
What Can Be Customized
A custom hydraulic cylinder is evaluated as part of the equipment system rather than by bore and stroke alone.
Depending on the application, customization may include:
Bore diameter
Rod diameter
Stroke length
Retracted and extended dimensions
Mounting configuration
Pin center dimensions
Hydraulic port type and location
Working pressure
Load requirements
Cylinder materials
Piston rod surface treatment
Seal configuration
Coating or paint requirements
Product identification
Packaging requirements
The final configuration should reflect the equipment structure and actual operating conditions.
Engineering Review Before Production
A technical review helps confirm whether the proposed cylinder configuration matches the equipment requirements.
Mounting Geometry
The mounting arrangement affects how force is transferred between the cylinder and the machine. Articulated equipment and changing working angles require particular attention to cylinder alignment and movement.
Incorrect alignment can introduce side loading and affect cylinder operation.
Stroke and Installation Space
Stroke should be considered together with retracted length, extended length, mounting dimensions, and surrounding equipment.
For compact machinery, hydraulic port location and hose routing may also affect the final configuration.
Load and Operating Conditions
The review may consider:
- Required cylinder force
- Load direction
- Working pressure
- Operating frequency
- Continuous or intermittent duty
- Working temperature
- Outdoor exposure
- Moisture, dust, or corrosive conditions
Long-stroke applications may also require consideration of rod stability, operating position, and mounting conditions.
Applications
Custom hydraulic cylinders are used where standard products cannot meet the equipment requirements.
Construction Equipment
Applications include lifting, positioning, pushing, and other hydraulic movements. Cylinder specifications depend on equipment geometry, load conditions, stroke, and mounting arrangement.
Agricultural Machinery
Agricultural equipment may require application-specific mounting dimensions, working angles, stroke lengths, and protection for outdoor operating conditions.
Dump Trucks and Tipper Equipment
Long-stroke cylinders are used for tipping and lifting operations. Telescopic configurations are commonly considered where available installation length is limited.
Cranes and Lifting Equipment
Cylinders can be used for lifting, positioning, stabilizing, and equipment movement. Load conditions, mounting geometry, and required movement should be confirmed during technical evaluation.
Material Handling and Industrial Machinery
Custom cylinders can be integrated into lifting platforms, handling equipment, industrial vehicles, production machinery, and specialized equipment.
From Drawing to Production
A custom cylinder project can begin with different levels of technical information.
A typical process is:
Drawing / Sample / Application Information
↓
Technical Review
↓
Cylinder Configuration Confirmation
↓
Quotation
↓
Sample or Prototype, if Required
↓
Production
↓
Inspection and Testing
↓
Packaging and Shipment
For replacement projects, a complete drawing is helpful but not always necessary. Existing cylinder dimensions, photographs, mounting information, and application details can provide a starting point for evaluation.
Manufacturing Capability
Tonghesheng has been manufacturing hydraulic cylinders since 2004.
Custom cylinder production may involve:
- Component machining
- Cylinder barrel processing
- Piston rod processing
- Welding and fabrication
- Surface treatment
- Cylinder assembly
- Hydraulic testing
- Final inspection
Production follows the approved product specification and technical requirements for the project.
Quality Inspection and Testing
Inspection focuses on dimensions and functions that affect installation and cylinder performance.
Depending on the project specification, inspection may cover:
- Bore dimensions
- Rod dimensions
- Stroke
- Mounting dimensions
- Port position
- Overall dimensions
- Welding condition
- Assembly condition
- Hydraulic pressure performance
- Leakage
- Functional operation
- Surface condition
Project-specific inspection records or documentation can be discussed during technical evaluation.
OEM and Replacement Cylinder Projects
OEM projects may require production according to approved drawings, customized mounting interfaces, prototype development, repeat production, product identification, and export packaging.
Replacement projects may start with an existing cylinder rather than a complete engineering drawing.
For an existing cylinder, useful information includes:
- Overall dimensions
- Bore and rod dimensions
- Stroke
- Mounting dimensions
- Port location
- Photographs
- Equipment application
- Existing identification or model information
The available information can be reviewed before determining the production requirements.
What to Send for a Technical Evaluation
For a faster quotation, provide the following information where available:
- Hydraulic cylinder drawing or specification
- Existing cylinder photographs or sample information
- Bore diameter
- Rod diameter
- Stroke
- Working pressure
- Mounting type and dimensions
- Hydraulic port requirements
- Equipment application
- Operating conditions
- Required quantity or annual demand
A complete drawing is preferred for precise quotation, but initial evaluation can also start with partial technical information.
