A hydraulic cylinder can be used to give a unidirectional force through a unidirectional stroke. It is also known as a linear hydraulic motor which is a type of mechanical actuator. It has many fields of use, mainly in manufacturing machinery, construction machinery (engineering trams), and civil engineering. The linear hydraulic motor is another term for a hydraulic cylinder. Pressurized hydraulic fluid gives power to hydraulic cylinders that are mainly oil. The hydraulic cylinder has a cylindrical barrel in which a piston rod has a piston connected to it and moves back and forth continuously. The barrel is closed from one end by the cylindrical head (also known as the gland) and on the other end by the cylinder bottom (also known as the cap). The piston has seals and rings which are sliding. The inside of the cylinder is divided by the piston into two chambers - the piston rod side chamber and the bottom chamber.

Hydraulic Cylinder Market Growth Factors

The demand for hydraulic cylinders is mainly led to its growing number of applications in various areas including agriculture, manufacturing, mining, construction, defense, and aerospace. Moreover, the rise in demand from OEMs is due to increasing advancements in the level of industrial processes and leading global trade adds up towards the growth of the hydraulic cylinder market. The market is growing rapidly and it is mainly led by the growing economies. There has been a significant increase in the economic condition of major Asian countries such as China and India after-global economic recession. This has cleared the path for the rise of low-scale companies involved in the work of manufacturing and construction. Various manufacturing companies in the Americas and EMEA region are outsourcing their manufacturing demands to various other economies such as India and China, in order to take advantage of less expensive labor costs. Also, most companies have started their manufacturing operations in these economies to benefit maximum from the low-cost manufacturing capabilities and the availability of skilled labor. This step helps companies to enhance their market presence. Therefore, the market is facing enhancement in the investments among both domestic and international vendors. European and North American markets have attained a saturation level. No matter, the stable markets have given a vast chance to the emerging markets, by the action of outsourcing their manufacturing needs to the other emerging small markets. These days, material handling machines such as level luffing cranes, stackers, and e-overhead traveling cranes are largely used by industries such as beverages and foods, energy and power, oil refineries, and retail excluding the engineering and construction domain.

Hydraulic Cylinder Market Segmentation

The worldwide market for hydraulic cylinder is categorized based on function, product, application, bore size, industry vertical, and geography.

Hydraulic Cylinder Function Outlook

• Double-Acting
• Single-Acting

According to the hydraulic cylinder market forecast, double-acting hydraulic cylinders account for the majority of the market. Because they can operate in both directions and apply force in both extending and retracting strokes, double-acting hydraulic cylinders provide greater flexibility and efficiency. They are commonly used in applications such as construction equipment, industrial machinery, and aerospace equipment that require precise control of force, speed, and positioning.

Single-acting hydraulic cylinders, on the other hand, only operate in one direction and rely on an external force to retract the piston, such as gravity or a spring. They are commonly used in applications where the load is supported by other means, such as lifting, and where simplicity and cost-effectiveness are prioritized.

Hydraulic Cylinder Product Outlook

• Welded
• Tie Rod
• Telescopic
• Mill Type

The two types that dominate the hydraulic cylinder market are welded hydraulic cylinders and tie rod hydraulic cylinders. Welded hydraulic cylinders are popular because of their high strength, durability, and leak resistance. They're commonly found in heavy-duty applications like construction equipment, mining machinery, and Material Handling equipment.

Tie rod hydraulic cylinders are also commonly used in a variety of applications due to their ease of maintenance and low cost. They have tie rods that connect the end caps and cylinder barrel, making them simple to disassemble and repair. Tie rod hydraulic cylinders are frequently found in agricultural machinery, industrial machinery, and mobile equipment.

Hydraulic Cylinder Application Outlook
