Your challenge is our starting point!

Whether extremely confined installation spaces, high dynamic loads, special media guidance, or complex sealing concepts — our cylinders are designed for maximum functionality under real operating conditions.

Dynamic load changes
Vibrations
Corrosive or abrasive media
Unsuitable temperatures
Narrow installation spaces
High amount of cycles

With our proprietary deep-R process, we not only optimize weld seams and material utilization, but also develop more compact, efficient, and robust cylinder solutions — precisely tailored to your process.

Which types of hydraulic cylinders can we offer to you?

Different applications require different types of hydraulic cylinders.
To ensure you are perfectly equipped for your needs, we offer, among others, the following hydraulic cylinder types:

Double-acting hydraulic cylinders
Single-acting hydraulic cylinders
Spring cylinder
Telescopic cylinder
Synchronised cylinder
Lifting cylinder
Lift cylinder
Press cylinder
Pressure cylinder
Differential cylinder
Rapid traverse cylinder
Spare cylinder
Replacement cylinder

Custom Engineering in detail: Technical and economic added value

Customised hydraulic cylinders often start out as virtual CAD models. FEM analysis and realistic simulations enable millimetre-precise designs that are perfectly suited to the installation space, medium and load profiles. Some typical advantages of special cylinders are:

Power reserves and lower weight

Optimised wall thicknesses and lightweight geometries enable higher material utilisation – more performance with the same component weight.
Longer service life

Modern surface hardening such as our deep-R process strengthens the weld seams, increases the cylinder service life by up to 100% and boosts cylinder performance by around 25%.
Individual material selection

Depending on the application scenario, high-quality materials are used – from high-strength steels and corrosion-resistant stainless steels to low-friction copper alloys that are precisely adapted to the respective operating conditions. This well-thought-out material selection for high-performance cylinders maximises service life and performance.
Cost-effectiveness

Custom engineering can pay off even with low quantities if unplanned downtime causes high follow-up costs. Longer service life and reduced maintenance significantly lower the total costs over the entire life cycle.
Everything from a single source

Suppliers such as ACONA, who combine design, calculation and manufacturing at a single location, minimise coordination efforts and can often deliver special cylinders several weeks faster than suppliers with multi-stage supply chains.
Standards upon request

Upon request, we design your hydraulic cylinder in accordance with relevant standards and provide the corresponding documentation and verification, for example according to DIN/EN standards, FKM guidelines, or DNV regulations.

When are custom cylinders the right choice?

Whenever space is limited, loads are high, or requirements are exceptional, a custom cylinder from ACONA is the right solution.
Our special cylinders are used, among other areas, in:

Mechanical engineering
Heavy Industry
Test bench technology
Steel, concrete, or offshore applications
Special plant construction
Retrofit projects
Press technology
Offshore Applications

Your hydraulic cylinder in 5 steps

Planning & analysis

Together, we clarify the stroke, force, installation space and environmental conditions. We rely on precise FEM analysis as standard – a service that not every hydraulic cylinder manufacturer offers. This allows us to lay the foundation for a durable, safe cylinder right from the planning phase.
Tailor-made offer

You receive a transparent cost/schedule overview, precisely tailored to your budget and delivery time. This gives you full cost transparency and planning security at an early stage.
Design & manufacturing

Our engineers implement the design and construct all components precisely for maximum service life. With modern machinery and our deep-R process, we can also reduce the weight of the cylinder while increasing performance and achieving a significantly longer service life.
Quality control & acceptance

Each cylinder undergoes pressure and functional tests – acceptance only takes place after successful testing. All test reports are documented and archived in accordance with the relevant standards.
Delivery & service

Once all tests have been successfully completed, the hydraulic cylinder is securely packaged and delivered on time. Spare and wear parts can be provided as required. This enables us to ensure the long-term availability of your equipment.
