Hydraulic Cylinder Market Size, Share, Growth, Sales, Trade, Shipment, Export Value And Volume With Sales And Pricing Forecast By 2028

Hydraulic cylinder is an actuation device powered by hydrostatic power which is designed to create force in a straight line. It is used in numerous applications including manufacturing machinery, construction machinery, civil engineering, marine equipment, agriculture machines, and others. Moreover, hydraulic cylinders are considered to be the most effective and efficient mechanical device for pulling, pushing, lifting, and lowering. With the expansion of construction industry across the globe, hydraulic cylinder has been generating increasing demand as it can provide high power to machines in even the furthest locations away from the power generation source. Such cylinder not only operates well in extreme environments but also has automatic overload protection, variable speed control, and positioning benefits. In addition to these advantages, a surge in infrastructural development and growing demand for advanced equipment and machinery have led to the establishment of global hydraulic cylinder market.

Hydraulic Cylinder Market – Notable Developments

• In April 2019, Pennar Industries Limited (PIL) announced to scale up its hydraulic cylinder production to 200,000 units per annum (pa) from its current capacity of 75,000 cylinder pa. The company is constructing a new plant that will be equipped to produce 15,000 cylinders pa with the possibility of expanding up to 200,000 units as the demand continues to surge.

• In March 2019, Parker Hannifin Corporation, a key player in the hydraulic cylinder market announced the introduction of its Electro-Hydraulic Pump System (EHPS), applicable for high power lifting in mining, material handling, and construction markets. In February 2019, the company’s Cylinder Division released U160S / U100S, an updated version of Taiyo America compact hydraulic cylinder, replacing the old series U160S-1 / U100S-1.

• In January 2019, Hydroline OY announced the launch of LEO (Lifecycle Efficiency Online), the latest R&D on predictive maintenance technology for hydraulic cylinders. It uses a proprietary algorithm to evaluate lifecycle data coming from the working environment of the hydraulic cylinder, obtained by strategically positioned built-in-sensors.

• In January 2019, Bosch Rexroth AG released ‘eGFT8000 series’, a range of compact drive for high-mileage vehicles. It enables mobile working machines to high-speed electric motor instead of a hydraulic motor. Further, the combination of electric motor and compact drive results into a space-saving drive unit.

• In August 2018, Caterpillar announced the launch of Cat® CG132B-16 generator set, rated for continuous power at 1 MW for 50 Hz in natural gas applications. It also offers outstanding cost-performance and optimized lube oil management with high power density. With the lower investment costs, the new set will enable customers to experience relatively fast payback periods.
