What is a hollow plunger hydraulic cylinder used for?
Thanks to its center-bore body, it can work directly over a stud, shaft, or rod; it is used in pulling, tensioning, test loading, and lifting applications. The HBS-DL series is a single-acting, spring-return hydraulic cylinder/jack series designed for this purpose.
What capacity and center bore sizes does the HBS-DL series offer?
It covers a 20–95 ton capacity range across 4 models; the center bore dimension (Y) ranges from 26.9 mm to 79 mm depending on the model. Full dimensions are listed in the model table.
How is a hollow plunger hydraulic cylinder used for stud tensioning?
The stud or shaft is passed through the cylinder's center bore and aligned axially; pressure from the pump is then converted, in a controlled way, into axial force to apply pulling/tensioning.
What pump does the HBS-DL 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-DL and the other HBS series?
What sets the HBS-DL apart from the other series is its center-bore body; it is the preferred choice for applications that require working over a stud or shaft. HBS-GA is the general purpose series, HBS-DP is for confined spaces, and HBS-CT is for work that requires double-acting control.
What industries/applications is the hollow plunger hydraulic cylinder used in?
It is used in applications that require force transmission along the center axis, such as stud tensioning support, shaft/rod pulling, structural test setups, heavy lifting, and bearing removal/installation.
How much does an HBS-DL model weigh?
Weight varies by model: the smallest model (HBS-DL-20-49) weighs approximately 2.9 kg, and the largest model (HBS-DL-95-76) weighs approximately 23.4 kg.
What material is the HBS-DL series made from?
It is manufactured with a 7075-T6 aluminum alloy, hard anodized body, which provides high pressure resistance despite the center-bore design.
How do I choose the right HBS-DL model?
Determine your stud or shaft diameter and target force, then select the appropriate code from the model table based on the center bore (Y) dimension and capacity; you can also get a recommendation through the technical quote form.
How is the HBS-DL series maintained?
Thanks to standard seal kits and a modular design, it can be serviced quickly through periodic visual inspection and seal replacement.
Is the HBS-DL series also called a hydraulic jack?
Yes. It is also referred to as a "hollow plunger hydraulic jack" in field language, while the term "hollow plunger hydraulic cylinder" is used in technical documentation.
Do you provide maintenance/repair service and spare parts support for HBS-DL series hollow plunger hydraulic cylinders?
Yes. We handle maintenance and repair of HBS-DL 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.
