Hydraulic & Pneumatic cylinders, also know as actuators, are used in many different industries. They all perform the same function regardless of their application. Our many years of experience designing and using custom cylinders for use in the entertainment industry seamlessly crosses over to other industries, including industrial, commercial, beverage & agriculture.
HPI Cylinders specializes in high quality, NPFA standard, OEM or custom cylinders built to your specifications in weeks not months, with very competitive pricing. Potential cylinder materials include aluminum or painted steel, nickel plated steel or stainless. Custom ports, rods, mounting or added features such as internal feedback & cushions are possible. There are many available options without increasing lead times.
Why buy from us? We are local, located in Sonoma County and serving surrounding counties. Cylinders are our only item we distribute. We bridge the gap between end user and manufacturer, working one on one with the client, making sure the job proceeds as promised and on time. We believe in the product.
During the initial design stages we can help the customer with preliminary drawings or provide 3d models to insert into the overall plans. Or, send us your design sketches for review & ideas.
