What Is a Custom Compact Hydraulic Cylinder?
A compact hydraulic cylinder is a linear actuator designed with a minimized footprint — shorter overall length, reduced diameter, and optimized mounting dimensions for installation in confined spaces. Despite their small size, compact cylinders deliver impressive force output and are ideal for applications where standard cylinders cannot fit.
With a custom compact cylinder, you get a cylinder engineered to your exact specifications — custom bore sizes, stroke lengths (typically 0.5" to 20"), mounting configurations, and port locations. These cylinders are widely used in machine tools, automation systems, fixture systems, pick-and-place equipment, and any application where space is at a premium.
