We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Hydraulic Cylinders",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Bearings cope with harsh agricultural applications from
Schaeffler (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "Schaeffler has developed a ready-to-fit bearing unit with triple-lip sealing to avoid the need for maintenance in tough agricultural applications".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Converting from hydraulics to an electric actuator from
Micromech: "Micromech Technical Director Stirling Morley debunks some of the myths about electric linear actuators that have slowed their adoption in many applications".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Bosch Rexroth - Hydraulics
concerning its CDM1 series
- take a look at Hydraulic cylinders are cushioned for control
which says: "Rexroth's CDM1 cylinder series covers a wide performance spectrum at a standard nominal pressure of 160bar".
Take a look also at the news release from Brownell, Breathers do a double act for protection,
as well as Seal system balances pressures from Trelleborg Sealing Solutions UK,
and Lifting cylinders ease maintenance from Danaher Motion.
