Hydraulic Cylinder Design
Design & Technical Engineering
Advanced 3D modelling systems and software allows Hytec Engineering to support OEMs with customer specific requirements and custom solutions. Core specialities include:
- Design and technical engineering
- Production and assembly
- Testing and quality assurance
Production & Assembly
- standard industrial cylinders
- tie-rod cylinders
- heavy-duty industrial mill-type cylinders
- accumulators
- manufactured and assembled entirely on the premises
All cylinders can be customised to include:
- cushioning,
- position detection,
- integrated standard seals or
- low friction seals
- variety of mountings.
They can be designed for:
- low or high pressure
- low or high speed
- can operate with any fluid, including water
Cylinders with inside diameters of between 40mm and 600mm, and lengths of up to 7.5m can be produced.
All machining, milling, turning, welding and inspection is done at the factory, and according to customers specifications. Cylinders with masses of up to 5 tons for complete cylinders and individual components of up to 2 tons can be produced.
Testing & Quality Assurance
- design,
- manufacture,
- installation and repair work
- SABS ISO 9001:2000 standards.
In order to ensure complete traceability and repeatability,every cylinder is:
- inspected
- full documentation and manuals are kept in our database.
Measuring equipment and gauges are calibrated by SANAS accredited laboratories. Our sophisticated test-rig allows us to pressure-test all cylinders for function and leakage up to 800 bar and enables mid-stroke bypass testing.
