From the sticky tar sands of Uzbekistan and the frozen windswept wastelands of Ural to arid, sun -leached Texas and the sizzling hot deserts of Saudi Arabia; from the warmth of the Caspian sea to the cold salt spray of the ocean, Gidrolast hydraulic cylinders are the actuators of choice in the gruelling oil field industry, both onshore and offshore. Oil rigs are located in some of the most demanding locations in the world. Blowing sand, sticky tar, extremes of hot and cold temperatures, corrosive elements and heavy-duty use. The cylinders used are often large-bore and long-stroke. Downtime is measured in millions of dollars. In addition to all that, the equipment is often located in remote areas far from civilization. Rugged, reliable cylinders are a must. Gidrolast designs and builds heavy-duty hydraulic cylinders, both rod style and telescopic, to withstand the tough conditions and demanding requirements of the petroleum industry.

Fork lift trucks, pallet loaders, conveyors, cranes, and so on. These machines are at the heart of any facility moving materials and products. These machines also depend on the power of hydraulic cylinders to do their work. That means that the cylinders have to be reliable. A failure means loss of production and profit. At Gidrolast, we appreciate that. We build our cylinders to last with precision machining and using heavy-duty seals and bearings. Our factory uses the latest high-technology production methods including robotic welders, friction welders and skive roller burnishing. Our quality control methods are the best in the business. And to cap it off, all of our cylinders are 100% pressure tested before they leave our factory. That means that our customers are 100% confident when they mount a Gidrolast mast cylinder into the bowels of their fork lift truck or assemble a lift cylinder under a heavy-duty conveyor.

Hydraulic cylinders used on shipboard machinery or in shipyards must endure the toughest of conditions, including hot and cold temperature extremes, exposure to salt water, driving rain, ice, as well as dirt and many other forms of contamination. That is an extremely abusive environment for hydraulic actuators. Cylinders used under these conditions must be designed and manufactured with these well in mind if they are to survive and work reliably. In addition, many hydraulic cylinders used on ships and harbour cranes are very large-bore and very long-stroke. Their large size makes frequent repair or replacement simply out of the question. Other marine cylinders are mounted in a ship’s machinery that is very difficult to reach. All these factors makes reliability a primary concern for marine cylinders. Gidrolast has a great deal of experience in building marine-grade hydraulic cylinders that thrive under those trying conditions.

Gidrolast got its start in building rugged hydraulic cylinders for use on heavy trucks in the waste management industry way back in 1994. That means we know first-hand what is required to build cylinders that will tough it out in this industry. So whether the cylinder is operating the gate on a garbage truck or the grapple in a scrap metal yard, the compactor on a scrap baler or lifting the blade of a bulldozer in a land fill site, Gidrolast cylinders are built to last. Both OEMs and end users around the world appreciate the rugged reliability built into each of our cylinders. Careful, experienced design is combined with high-quality manufacturing to make our Gidrolast hydraulic cylinders the cylinders of choice in waste management and recycling equipment. It’s not hard to see why tough, reliable cylinders are required in the waste management and recycling industry, as these pictures clearly testify. Hydraulic cylinders are shown in action in a scrap metal yard above.

The COMPENSER® of the DC-series is an ideal hydraulic shock reducing element especially for the application field of storage technology (storage and retrieval machines). As a doubleacting buffer, this industrial shock absorber can be used in a spacesaving manner due to its design and can be actuated alternately from both sides. The constructive design and function corresponds to the C-Type. Furthermore, due to its low reset force, it can easily be pressed in at creep speed during operation. As optional equipment PU caps as inserts for the impact cap for the reduction of impact noise and a monitoring of the piston rod‘s position (by either magnetic or inductive sensors) are available. If only a slight increase of reset force of the piston rod over the entire stroke is desired, an additional external accumulator can be fitted to the cylinder to increase the gas volume of the gas spring. Hence the reset force decreases in retracted state.

The COMPENSER® of the KL-series is an industrial shock absorber for light mechanical engineering, e.g. handling equipment, small storage and retrieval machines and small crane systems. Due to the low reset force of the compression spring, this buffer of the KL-series is well suited for operational push-in cycles at creep speed. Design & Function: The piston rod 2 pushes the piston 6 into the pressure chamber 7. At the same time, the damping medium flows through the metering grooves placed in the outer tube 8, via the piston 6 and into the volume balance chamber 5. The return spring 3 is tensioned and, after the impact has occurred, pushes the piston rod 2 back to the initial position. By this the damping medium flows back into the pressure chamber 7.

The preferred field of application for the (gas) hydraulic industrial buffer (COMPENSER®) of the S-series is in the medium to heavy engineering industry sector. As a heavy duty shock absorber it is used in large crane systems (e.g. harbour crane, shipyard crane or container crane), metallurgical plants, rolling mills, loading systems or as end stop integrated in a rail buffer stop. Design & Function: The gas-filled inner tube 2 enters the outer tube 9. The damping medium flows from the pressure chamber 6 through the throttle orifices 8 of the metering tube 7 into the volume balance chamber 5. The separating piston 4 simultaneously moves in the direction of the impact cap 1 and compresses the nitrogen gas filling. In the gas space 3, the energy is stored which is required for the reset of the inner tube. When the inner tube 2 returns to the initial position, the separating piston 4 moves in the opposite direction and presses the damping medium back into the pressure chamber 6.

The hydraulic industrial shock absorber of the C-series (COMPENSER®) is the ideal hydraulic buffer for storage and retrieval machines or smaller conveyor systems, crane systems, test stands etc. in light to medium mechanical engineering. Due to its short design, this hydraulic buffer (COMPENSER®) can be used in a spacesaving manner as limitation of the end position (as emergency end stop) in industrial applications. In addition, the low reset force allow operational pushin cycles at creep speed. Design & Function: The piston rod 2 enters the metering tube 3. The damping medium flows from the pressure chamber 6 through the throttle orifices 4 of the metering tube 3 into the volume balance chamber 5. The nitrogen gas between the outer tube 7 and the metering tube 3 is compressed and stores the energy required for the reset of the piston rod. When the piston rod 2 returns to the initial position, the damping medium flows back into the pressure chamber 6.
