Telescopic Cylinders

What Are Hydraulic Telescopic Cylinders?

Hydraulic telescopic cylinders, also known as multi-stage cylinders, are unique because they consist of multiple tubes, or "stages," nested inside each other. These cylinders are particularly valuable in applications requiring long strokes from a compact, space-saving design. As hydraulic pressure is applied, each stage of the cylinder progressively extends, providing a significant increase in the cylinder’s total length without taking up excess space when retracted.

Telescopic cylinders are versatile and commonly used in situations where equipment must lift or tilt loads in limited spaces, such as dump trucks, trailers, and cranes. Our LUDWIG series takes this concept further by providing robust design, precision engineering, and custom features to match specific application requirements.

How LUDWIG Telescopic Cylinders Work

The function of a telescopic cylinder relies on the hydraulic pressure that extends each stage, one by one, as the pressure builds. Here’s a brief overview of how LUDWIG cylinders operate:

• Initial Pressurization: When the hydraulic fluid is pumped into the cylinder, it fills the base stage, generating pressure.
• Stage Extension: As pressure builds, each stage extends sequentially. LUDWIG cylinders are designed to maintain stability during this process, even with uneven loads.
• Retraction: Once the pressure is released, the stages retract in reverse order. Our LUDWIG cylinders are engineered for smooth, controlled retraction, essential for safe handling.
• End Position Detection: The advanced design includes built-in sensors for detecting end positions, which helps prevent overextension and ensures safe operation.
