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
At our company, the production of a hydraulic cylinder goes through five carefully managed steps to ensure the final product meets your exact requirements.
From the initial planning to final delivery, we pay attention to every detail to guarantee the highest quality and reliability.
Planning
The first step is a detailed consultation to clarify all key factors for your hydraulic cylinder.
These include the stroke length, required force, and piston diameter, as well as installation location, ambient temperature, and operating frequency.
If you already have specific engineering plans, we will implement them exactly to your specifications.
We are also pleased to assist in developing design plans.
Our experienced engineers use precise FEM analyses (Finite Element Method) to realistically simulate mechanical loads.
This approach enables detailed mapping of complex component geometries and accurate calculation of stresses, deformations, and loads under actual operating conditions.
Critical areas are identified early, precisely optimized, and both safety and service life of your cylinder are significantly increased.
Offer
Once all details have been clarified, we will provide you with a tailored proposal for your hydraulic cylinder. This offer takes into account not only the specific technical requirements but also your individual preferences regarding delivery time and budget. We provide transparent cost structures that make every step of the production process clear. Our aim is to offer you the best value for money while always ensuring the highest level of quality.
Construction
With the defined parameters, we begin designing your hydraulic cylinder, relying exclusively on proven methods and high-grade materials to guarantee the desired service life and maximum reliability.
Technical challenges are overcome by our experienced engineering team during the design phase.
Thanks to our proprietary deep-R process, we can increase the strength of weld seams and enhance the overall performance of the cylinder.
This enables us to design slimmer and more efficient hydraulic cylinders that withstand higher loads and are more environmentally friendly through significant material savings.
Quality control
After the hydraulic cylinder has been manufactured, it undergoes comprehensive quality control.
We test the functionality, load capacity, and durability of the cylinder to ensure our product meets your high expectations and operates reliably.
Delivery
Once all tests have been successfully completed and the hydraulic cylinder has met our stringent quality standards, it is securely packaged and delivered to you on schedule. We place great emphasis on careful logistics to ensure that the product arrives in perfect condition.
You will find our custom hydraulic cylinders in the following—and many other—applications:
