What is the HBS-GA series hydraulic cylinder (jack) used for?
It is a general purpose hydraulic cylinder/jack series used in maintenance, assembly, lifting, and pressing applications. It runs on 700 bar class hydraulic power and forms the core cylinder group built for heavy industry.
What is a single-acting hydraulic cylinder?
In a single-acting hydraulic cylinder, the forward stroke is driven by hydraulic pressure, while the return stroke is handled by an internal spring mechanism. The HBS-GA series works on this principle, so a single hose connection is enough.
What capacity and stroke options does the HBS-GA series offer?
It covers a 10–95 ton capacity range across 9 models; stroke options vary by model from 50 mm to 260 mm. Full dimensions are listed in the model table.
What pump does the HBS-GA work with?
It works with a 700 bar class hydraulic pump (hand pump or power unit) using the 3/8″ NPT/F connection standard.
What is the difference between HBS-GA and HBS-DP?
HBS-GA is the general purpose, core series used under standard access conditions. HBS-DP is the low profile series designed for confined spaces that require a low closed height.
What material is the HBS-GA series made from?
It is manufactured with a 7075-T6 aluminum alloy, hard anodized body and a hardened, precision-ground piston surface.
How much does an HBS-GA model weigh?
Weight varies by model: the smallest model (HBS-GA-10-54) weighs approximately 0.9 kg, and the largest model (HBS-GA-95-260) weighs approximately 27.0 kg. The full list is given in the model table.
What industries is the HBS-GA hydraulic cylinder used in?
It is widely used in maintenance and repair, heavy industry assembly, lifting and alignment, pressing and forming, and general field service applications.
How is the HBS-GA series maintained?
Thanks to standard seal kits and a modular design, it can be serviced quickly through periodic visual inspection and seal replacement.
How do I choose the right HBS-GA model?
Determine the tonnage of the load to be lifted or pressed and the required stroke, then select the appropriate code from the model table; you can also get a recommendation through the technical quote form.
Why is the HBS-GA lighter than steel hydraulic cylinders?
The 7075-T6 aluminum alloy body is about 60% lighter than an equivalent steel model, which makes it easier to carry and handle on site.
Is the HBS-GA series also called a hydraulic jack?
Yes. "Hydraulic cylinder" is the technical/engineering term, while "hydraulic jack" is the common name used in field language; the HBS-GA series is referred to by both names.
Do you provide maintenance/repair service and spare parts support for the HBS-GA general purpose hydraulic cylinder series?
Yes. We handle maintenance and repair of HBS-GA series cylinders in-house — send us your faulty unit and we'll inspect it and manage the repair process. We also manufacture original spare parts (seals, pistons, etc.) on request for the models we produce — we don't maintain a separate spare parts catalog, but you can contact us directly for the part you need.
