Plunger Cylinders for High-Load Applications

Plunger Cylinder

Plunger cylinders are single-acting hydraulic cylinders that actively perform a pressure movement, while the return movement is performed by an external force such as gravity. Thanks to their robust design and the absence of a separate piston, they offer a compact and low-maintenance solution for numerous applications. The solid piston rod also acts as the piston and ensures efficient force transmission while minimising installation space.

Advantages of our plunger cylinders

Reduced maintenance effort

Fewer components due to the combination of piston rod and piston, which reduces the complexity of the sealing system.

Compact design

Space-saving design enables use in confined installation spaces.

High load capacity

The solid piston rod ensures robust and durable power transmission.

Efficient provisioning

Utilises external forces such as gravity, eliminating the need for a double-acting system.

Areas of application

Plunger cylinders are used in numerous applications, especially where high compressive forces are required in a small space.

Typical areas of application are:

Industrial applications

In presses, punches and other machines

Steel & metal processing

Used in forging, rolling and cutting presses for material processing.

Oil and gas

In offshore drilling vessels
