Farteks focuses on hydraulic cylinder components and precision-machined parts. The product range includes components such as glands, pistons, rod ends and other cylinder components shown in the Farteks product catalog.
For custom or OEM requirements, a technical drawing is the preferred way to communicate dimensions, tolerances, material and other manufacturing requirements. Contact Farteks with the drawing and application details for evaluation.
Provide the part number or drawing if available, required quantity, material or material standard, critical dimensions and tolerances, application information and required delivery timing.
A hydraulic cylinder gland is a rod-end component that commonly provides the interface for the piston rod, seals and guiding elements. Its exact design depends on the cylinder architecture.
A hydraulic cylinder piston separates the working sides of the cylinder and transfers hydraulic pressure into linear force through the piston rod. Its dimensions and sealing interfaces must match the cylinder design.
A rod end is the mechanical connection at the end of a hydraulic cylinder piston rod. The design can include threaded, clevis, spherical or other application-specific interfaces.
Record critical diameters, overall lengths, shoulders, grooves, threads, mounting dimensions and center distances. If possible, provide the original technical drawing because it also defines tolerances and material requirements.
Tolerances control how mating components, seals, guides and moving interfaces fit together. A nominal dimension alone may not define whether a component will perform correctly in the cylinder assembly.
Hydraulic cylinder components are used across machinery and equipment that rely on hydraulic linear actuation, including industrial equipment, construction machinery, agricultural machinery and material-handling applications.
Use the Farteks contact or request-a-quote page and include the technical drawing or part information, quantity and delivery requirements whenever possible.
