From plant requirements to finished components
A selection of hydraulic cylinders and capsules manufactured by Silvio Fossa. Each example presents its application and project-specific technical data, with links to the relevant products and services.
01 / Presses
Force takes shape, one stroke at a time. In an open-die press, the main cylinder delivers force at the heart of the process. For this application we built a cylinder with a 1.300 mm bore and rod, a 2.300 mm stroke and 53.600 kN of thrust: substantial dimensions for a demanding task.
02 / Rolling mills
High force within a short stroke. In rolling mills, even a small movement can demand considerable force. This hydraulic capsule combines a 1.100 mm bore, a 280 mm stroke and 29.000 kN of thrust in a design dedicated to rolling applications.
03 / Long stroke
Almost fourteen metres of stroke in a single cylinder. When the required movement extends over metres, the cylinder becomes a custom engineering project. For this steel industry application we built a cylinder with a 13.815 mm stroke, a 280 mm bore and a 220 mm rod: a concrete example of our long-stroke cylinder experience.
04 / Offshore cranes
The force behind an offshore crane boom. The main boom cylinder is essential to a crane’s movement. This offshore application combines a 620 mm bore with a 4.320 mm stroke and 9.050 kN of thrust. Its geometry and dimensions are dedicated to the specific application.
05 / Jack-up
A dedicated design for jack-up systems. Jack-up applications require cylinders integrated into the system’s structure and movement. For this project we combined a 400 mm bore, a 360 mm rod and a 4.220 mm stroke, delivering 4.200 kN of thrust.
06 / Revamping
A new life for a 1.750 mm hydraulic capsule. Revamping starts with understanding the component and the surfaces to be restored. On this capsule we restored the rod and barrel surfaces, threaded fastenings and vent device, then completed the work with painting. The capsule has a 1.750 mm bore, a 1.600 mm rod and a 95 mm stroke.
Dimensions, strokes, forces and pressures refer to the individual examples. Each new supply is configured according to the application and customer specifications.
Send the application, available dimensions, loads and operating conditions. We can assess a new cylinder, an interchangeable replacement or the overhaul of an existing unit.
