Double Acting Hydraulic Cylinder With Industrial Ball Joints (32/20)

This double acting hydraulic cylinder with industrial ball joints (32/20) is engineered for heavy-duty agricultural, construction, and industrial applications. Designed with integrated spherical bearings (ball joints), this cylinder allows angular movement and reduces stress on mounting points, making it ideal for dynamic applications.

Also referred to as a hydraulic cylinder with spherical bearings or heim joint ends, this design ensures smooth operation even when alignment is not perfectly straight. This significantly improves durability and reduces wear compared to fixed mounting types.

The cylinder is delivered fully assembled and ready for immediate installation. Its innovative piston design includes a special locking ring, ensuring secure operation and enhanced reliability under high loads.

Important Notes

• All cylinders are coated with industrial black paint for corrosion protection
• Minor scratches may occur during transport and are not considered defects
• Protect the cylinder from welding spatter during installation

Applications

Ideal for tractors, agricultural implements, construction equipment, and industrial machinery requiring flexible mounting and reliable push-pull force.

Why Choose Ball Joint Cylinders?

• Better alignment tolerance than clevis or rigid mounts
• Ideal for dynamic and moving applications
• Extended lifespan due to reduced side loading
