Hydraulic & Pneumatic Cylinders
When heavy industry demands reliability, not all cylinders are created equal. Lindberg delivers a complete line of mill-duty hydraulic cylinders, NFPA tie-rod cylinders, rotary actuators, and custom-engineered solutions, built to power everything from massive steel mill presses to precise automation systems.
Mill-Duty Hydraulic Cylinders
Mill-duty cylinders are the undisputed heavyweights of hydraulic actuation in fluid power. They are engineered with thick-walled construction, oversized piston rods, and advanced sealing systems to withstand severe shock, high pressures, and abrasive conditions.
Built for Extreme Conditions
- Operating pressures often exceeding 5,000 PSI.
- Resistance to shock loads, contamination, and heat.
- Oversized rods and induction-hardened surfaces for superior wear life.
Design Superiority
- Multi-stage seals protect against leaks and particulate ingress.
- Reinforced mounts and gussets absorb vibration and side-loading.
- Specialized coatings such as nitriding and hard chrome extend service life.
Applications
- Steel rolling mills and furnace doors
- Mining conveyors, crushers, and draglines
- Energy infrastructure like hydroelectric floodgates
- Foundries and forging presses
- Ships, Steering
Mill-duty cylinders are the industrial titans of fluid power, excelling where standard cylinders fail.
Tie-Rod Cylinders: NFPA Interchangeable Versatility
For general industrial environments, tie-rod cylinders offer standardized, reliable solutions. Built to NFPA dimensional standards, they deliver interchangeability and broad availability, making them a mainstay in manufacturing and automation.
Key Benefits
- NFPA Standardization: Direct interchangeability across OEM platforms
- Versatility: Hydraulic versions rated up to ~3,000 PSI; pneumatic options for factory automation
- Mounting Options: Clevis, flange, trunnion, and extended tie-rod ends
- Economy: Cost-effective without sacrificing performance
Applications
- Packaging and conveyor systems
- Automated assembly lines and robotics
- General manufacturing and material handling
Why choose tie-rod cylinders? They strike a balance between performance, cost, and availability, making them the go-to for light to medium-duty applications where NFPA standards matter.
Rotary Actuators: Turning Fluid Power into Motion
Where cylinders push and pull, rotary actuators deliver angular motion. Lindberg actuators expand system capabilities by transforming hydraulic or pneumatic energy into controlled torque and rotation.
Design Highlights
- Rack-and-pinion or vane-type options
- Torque ranges scalable for clamping and positioning
- Rotation angles from 90° to full 360°
- Heavy-duty seals ensure reliability over long cycle counts
Applications
- Foundry clamps and indexing tables
- Positioning arms in material handling
- Automated equipment requiring repetitive angular control
- Water treatment facilities
With their ability to pivot, rotate, and hold under load, Lindberg rotary actuators extend performance beyond linear motion, enabling greater flexibility in automation and control systems.
Custom Applications: Solutions Without Limits
Standard products can’t cover every application. For environments with unusual demands, Lindberg engineers provide custom-designed hydraulic and pneumatic solutions tailored from the ground up.
When to Choose Custom
- Oversized bore or stroke requirements
- Harsh chemical or high-temperature exposure
- Integrated manifolds or unique mounting envelopes
- Embedded sensing and Industry 4.0 connectivity
Industries Served
- Aerospace: assembly jigs, launch pad infrastructure
- Marine: rudder controls, offshore cranes
- Energy: wind turbine pitch control, oil & gas systems
- Defense and OEM machinery
Custom builds combine precision engineering with application-specific features, ensuring performance where no catalog solution fits.
Choosing the Right Cylinder or Actuator
When deciding between product families, consider:
- Environment: Harsh and extreme (Mill-Duty) vs. controlled (Tie-Rod)
- Motion Type: Linear force (Cylinders) vs. angular torque (Rotary Actuators)
- Customization Needs: Standard designs vs. special engineering
- Lifecycle Costs: Weigh initial cost vs. downtime, maintenance, and reliability
Consulting with Lindberg engineers helps ensure every solution is optimized for safety, performance, and lifecycle value.
