Multi-stage cylinders (telescopic cylinders)
Your project has little space but still requires a large stroke and you are looking for a solution with a multi-stage cylinder? Our professional team is at your side with expert knowledge and will support you in developing and solving your challenge.
Single-acting
Compact but powerful - Our multi-stage cylinder is ideal for limited space with long lifting requirements. As a single-acting cylinder, the individual stages only move in one direction due to the hydraulic pressure. They are retracted by an external force. This means that only one pressure line is required. The active surfaces of the single-acting, multi-stage cylinder correspond to the rod diameters of the individual stages: At constant pressure, the largest load can be moved with the largest stage. The maximum force that can be moved over the entire stroke results from the rod area of the smallest stage. At a constant flow rate, the individual stages move at different speeds. The smaller the diameter, the faster the piston moves.
Double-acting
Flexibility in both directions - The multi-stage, double-acting cylinder is designed for versatile movements. With the help of two pressure lines, the cylinder moves with hydraulic pressure in both directions. There are many possible combinations of different movements: for example, it is possible to make only the smallest stage double-acting, while the larger stages remain single-acting. A unique combination is the connection of all stages: With this cylinder, all stages extend and retract simultaneously. The speed therefore remains constant over the entire stroke, despite the different diameters of the individual stages. With this design, the maximum force corresponds to the pressure and the smallest piston area.
