The new hydraulic cylinder that adapts its performance to the background. Powerful and accurate, it exalts the concept of high pressure generated by the
amplifier to reduce weights, increase speed and save energy.
Designed to face long and hard lifecycle, it automatically activates the amplifier embedded in the rod to reach the high force needed to work, while increasing the energy efficiency. The hydraulic system enclosed inside the rod eliminates the risk of external leakage and improves the interspace on the machine.
Strong and reliable, well designed in any part to face the maximum strength and to retain carefully in any condition the high pressure inside the cylinder body, in order to eliminate the risk of impact failure over pipes and blocks.
The complete hydraulic system is held by the rod and it is adjusted and customized for each application. The hydraulic connections - located in the rod eye - are designed according to low-pressure standard; only the cylinder’s body retains the maximum pressure of 700 bar and relays the power to the machine.
Load holding, counter balance and relief valve instantly react at the pressure fluctuations since they are directly in touch with the two cylinder chambers.
This is the reason why runs flowing and smoothly, more precise than any other external hydraulic system.
Big cost saving is waiting for you. Smart Cylinder new technology drives into new design rules that allow material and energy saving. The embedded hydraulic control works non-stop and precise, it enables cost saving each run. More power when it’s really needed.
Smart Cylinder is the key to eliminate system over-design reducing the components and optimizing the sizes.
Faster and thin, Smart Cylinder by Sighinolfi delivers high power and efficiency through the pressure-amplifier by Piston Power. The amplification ratio of 2,8 allows weight and dimensional reduction of the cylinder without giving up the needed workforce.
During normal working cycle, Smart Cylinder runs quickly at the maximum pump flow, increasing the work speed, whereas for the hardest work cycles the high pressure is automatically activated by the amplifier until the needed force is safely achieved.
You can find in the summary table Smart Cylinder for general market version.
More specific versions are realized for telescopic cylinders and in length until 10m.

“Inspired by the importance of a gearbox in a car, I got the idea of introducing automatic “gearshift” in standard hydraulic cylinders.
Piston Power is bringing my idea to market”
