Custom OEM Cylinders
PWM’s engineering and manufacturing operations are conducted in a state-of-the-art facility equipped with advanced CAD/CAM systems and automated machining technologies. Our design engineering team provides comprehensive support in the design, analysis, and selection of both standard and custom welded hydraulic cylinders tailored to specific performance criteria and application requirements.
As a custom manufacturer, PWM develops close technical collaboration with each client, ensuring accurate capture of fit, form, and functional specifications. Our expertise extends across procurement specialists, engineering groups, consultants, manufacturing professionals, maintenance managers, and product developers requiring high-precision custom cylinder solutions.
PWM delivers products based on existing engineered drawings or provides complete end-to-end design services, ranging from initial technical specifications to conceptual development. Our solutions address critical objectives such as cost optimization, hydraulic system packaging constraints, and enhanced performance metrics. Capabilities also include reverse engineering of obsolete or damaged cylinders and re-engineering of foreign-manufactured units to comply with North American dimensional and material standards.
Our technical sales and engineering teams partner with clients throughout the development cycle to engineer and manufacture robust cylinder solutions. With extensive multi-industry experience, PWM has established itself as a trusted source for precision-engineered cylinders across a wide spectrum of applications.
Some types of our engineering design cylinders include:
- HEAVY DUTY cylinders, characterized as a robust cylinder design capable of handling harsh operating environments.
- BIG BORE cylinders, characterized as large diameter hydraulic cylinders built for specialty applications where significant force is required.
- SMART cylinders, designed to incorporate position sensing technologies for end user applications.
- STABILIZER cylinders, used to level and stabilize a platform with a mechanical lock to keep it in place.
- SYNCHRONIZING cylinders, which include one master and one or more slave cylinder(s) with a built in re-phasing provision, and are utilized in applications where multiple operations must operate in tandem.
- TELESCOPIC cylinders, which provide a long stroke from a very compact retracted length, and can be single acting, a single acting/double acting combination, or a double acting design.
