Double Acting Hydraulic Cylinders with Swivel Eye
This collection includes double acting hydraulic cylinders with swivel eye mountings, designed for controlled pushing and pulling force in hydraulic systems where rotational alignment at the mounting point is required.
The swivel eye end allows limited rotation around the pin connection, helping to compensate for minor misalignment during operation. This reduces side load on the cylinder and mounting points and supports smooth, reliable movement under load.
Typical Applications
Double acting hydraulic cylinders with swivel eye mountings are used in agricultural, industrial, transport, and mobile hydraulic systems where the connection needs to rotate during movement.
- Agricultural machinery and implements with changing linkage angles
- Trailer and transport equipment with articulated hydraulic functions
- Loaders and mobile equipment requiring controlled push–pull movement
- Industrial machines where the mounting point must rotate during operation
Swivel Eye Mounting Explained
A swivel eye mounting is a pin-mounted end connection that allows rotational movement at the eye. This mounting style supports alignment under load, reduces stress on brackets and pins, and improves service life compared to a rigid eye connection in applications with rotation.
Construction and Reliability
All double acting hydraulic cylinders with swivel eye mountings are manufactured from high-quality steel and equipped with chrome-plated piston rods to reduce wear and corrosion. Durable sealing systems ensure leak-free operation and consistent performance in demanding operating conditions.
Select the Correct Hydraulic Cylinder
Select the appropriate cylinder based on bore size, stroke length, eye dimensions, pin diameter, and operating conditions. Each product page provides detailed technical specifications to ensure correct selection and safe operation.
