Brake Cylinders

Reliable Stopping Power – Hydraulic Single Acting Brake Cylinders & Rams for Ultimate Control!

Brake cylinders are single acting hydraulic cylinders used primarily in braking systems, particularly in vehicles or machinery where hydraulic power is used to activate or assist the braking function. These cylinders and rams are typically single-acting, meaning they apply force in one direction (usually to apply the brake) and rely on other mechanisms or spring force for retraction.

Key Features:

• Single Acting Design: These cylinders operate by using hydraulic pressure to move the piston in one direction, typically to apply the brake. The return of the piston is achieved either by spring force or gravity, which makes them simpler and cost-effective.
• Braking Force: The hydraulic pressure applied in a single direction creates the necessary force to engage the brake, making it ideal for vehicles, machinery, or systems that need reliable stopping power.
• Durable Construction: Designed to withstand high-pressure environments, these cylinders are built with robust materials that ensure long-lasting performance, even under harsh operating conditions.
• Compact and Efficient: Due to their simple single-acting design, these cylinders are often smaller and lighter than other types, making them suitable for space-constrained or weight-sensitive applications.
• Versatile Applications: These brake cylinders can be used in a wide variety of vehicles and equipment, including trucks, trailers, industrial machinery, and even agricultural machinery, where hydraulic braking is required.

Common Applications:

• Trucks and Trailers: Used in hydraulic brake systems for commercial vehicles and trailers, providing effective braking control.
• Agricultural Machinery: Found in equipment such as tractors and harvesters to apply hydraulic braking power for stopping or slowing down.
• Construction and Mining Equipment: Used in bulldozers, excavators, and other heavy machinery to ensure safe and reliable braking during operation.
• Industrial Vehicles: Employed in forklifts, cranes, and other industrial vehicles where hydraulic brakes are essential.
