Hydraulic Cylinders
Hydraulic cylinders are mechanical devices that use hydraulic oil or other fluids to transmit force in a linear motion. Hydraulic cylinders are often used because they can handle large, heavy loads and can produce large amounts of forces. Hydraulic cylinders have many applications and are commonly employed in construction equipment, manufacturing machinery, and civil engineering.
