Articulates with the load through its arc, so side loading never reaches the seals. For pivoting linkages.
Technical specifications
Clevis Mounted Hydraulic Cylinders provide a strong and versatile mounting solution specifically designed for applications involving rotational or pivoting movement. The clevis — a U-shaped bracket with a through-pin — is attached to one or both ends of the cylinder, allowing it to articulate freely as the load moves through its arc of motion.
This mounting arrangement is critical in applications where the cylinder's angle changes during operation. Unlike rigid mounts that would experience destructive side loading, the clevis pivot absorbs angular changes naturally, protecting the cylinder's seals and rod from premature wear.
KBR Engineers manufactures clevis mounted cylinders with precision-machined clevis brackets, hardened pins, and high-quality bearings. The cylinder body features precision-honed barrels, chrome-plated piston rods, and premium sealing systems designed for thousands of cycles of trouble-free operation.
These cylinders are among our most popular configurations, widely used in agricultural machinery (loader arms, bucket cylinders), construction equipment (excavator arms, dozer blades), and industrial hydraulic systems where the load path involves angular movement.
