When a long-trajectory stroke is required within a restricted area, telescopic hydraulic cylinders may be used. These multi-stage cylinders can be underbody and frontal. Both types are seen in:
The HydroCube Research & Production Enterprise profile includes design and production of telescopic hydraulic cylinders; we deliver reliable competitive products that can be adopted for severe operating conditions.

Telescopic cylinder consists of in-serial connected sectional blocks where previous block is the piston rod for the next block. When retracted, the structure dimensions are very compact, but when extended, cylinder overhang is great enough. When system is pressurized, pistons, one by one, move until the stop. First, the outer piston with the greatest diameter strokes forward, then the next one.
Sometimes, in standard structures, there are six nested pistons. Each of them requires certain load, therefore, the pressure inside the system shall be adjusted with each subsequent piston extension. If quantity of telescopic joints is more, stable uniform load can’t be achieved. Optimal length of retracted cylinder is about 30±10% of maximum overhang length.
Operation is performed as per the selected mode – valve-operated or direct flow. As for the first one, special pressure valve shall be provided on the each piston bottom. Due to the valve adjustment, loaded system, first, actuates the main piston. As for the second, the system is actuated with unloaded piston and a lower frequency on O-rings.
Telescopic cylinders can be both single-acting and double-acting.
Single-acting telescopic hydraulic cylinders
It extents under the pressure of the working fluid supplied to the piston and retracts to initial position under the action of gravity or other forces of a mechanical nature.
Such devices are convenient to use with an already existing return load on the piston-rod, for example, on cargo dump trucks, trailers, tipping devices. As soon as the hydraulic supply is stopped and the whole structure is extended, the cylinder sections begin to reverse and get retracted by the weight of the vehicle body.
Double-acting telescopic hydraulic cylinders can work in both directions.
These cylinders have a forward stroke organized as in single-acting structures. For retraction, there are specially positioned retract seals on each movable section. Using them, it is possible to return the system to its initial position when there is no outside return force.
In double-acting telescopic hydraulic cylinders, oil is supplied from above. When it gets between the adjacent pressurized cylinders, the smaller cylinder is forced to retract inside the greatest one. Then, the port for next section retraction opens. Retraction continuous until all cylinders are completely nested inside the main one.
Due to the customized solution, it is possible to choose the design as close to the existing external conditions as possible. This contributes to the improved equipment capacity and service life, reduced fuel consumption and wear rate. The hydraulic cylinder, which is manufactured with strict adherence to the process technologies and under multilevel factory control, is insured against emergency situations that are always out of place.
The advantages of telescopic cylinders made in HydroCube:
When required, we can solve more complex tasks connected with a special design, for example, the simultaneous extension of all sections which can allow obtaining constant speed and thrust (used in the drill heads) or combining the design with single and double acting sections for reliable positioning of the drilling unit.
