Hydraulic cylinders fail for a reason. When yours fails, you face two options: replace it or repair it. Aggressive Hydraulics engineers use powerful diagnostic tools to uncover exactly why a cylinder failed and how to stop it from happening again. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) stands as one of our most advanced tools.
During the repair-or-replace evaluation, we run detailed FEA models that reveal every strength and weakness in the cylinder. These simulations show precisely how the cylinder behaves under real-world stress in your application. FEA visualizes where parts bend, twist, or concentrate stress and maps displacements long before we machine a single component.
Our FEA software delivers flexible simulation options that control model complexity and solution speed while maintaining the accuracy you need for demanding fluid power applications. This capability lets us fully design, refine, and optimize the entire hydraulic cylinder on the computer—then manufacture a true Purpose-Built™ hydraulic cylinder engineered specifically for your equipment and operating conditions.
What does this mean for the end user? Materials can be spec’d based on the application and forces needed. The result is a stronger, more durable cylinder for your fluid power application. In many cases, our precision manufacturing process results in a cylinder that outperforms the original part.
