As a trusted single acting hydraulic cylinder, Ever-power delivers actuators that meet OEM specifications for material handling.
Product Overview
Hydraulic designers specify Ever-power for the nan class because critical dimensions are tightly held. The 40mm bore uses plateau honing for optimal oil retention. The 22mm rod chrome is porosity-tested per ASTM B456. The substantial 40mm bore handles large-capacity forklifts and container handlers.
Environmental considerations are addressed through RoHS-compliant materials, recyclable packaging, and a cylinder exchange program that remanufactures returned units at 40% of replacement cost. This circular approach reduces waste while maintaining OEM-equivalent performance and warranty coverage.

Key Features
Seamless Construction
Machined from 27SiMn seamless alloy tubing, the 40mm barrel eliminates the stress riser inherent in welded pipe construction. This provides superior fatigue resistance through millions of steering cycles under varying pressure amplitudes and directional loading conditions.
Micro-Finished Rod
The 22mm piston rod is centerless ground to Ra 0.4??m before hard chrome plating. This surface finish ensures concentric operation that extends seal life by reducing lip wear, friction heat generation, and breakout pressure during steering corrections.
Temperature Resilience
Nitrile primary seals maintain elastomeric properties from -30??C to +100??C standard operating range. Viton compound upgrades are available for continuous operation above 80??C or for compatibility with synthetic hydraulic fluids and phosphate ester media.
Complete Traceability
Material certification with mill test reports accompanies every cylinder. Serialized batch codes etched on the barrel enable complete production history retrieval from raw steel billet through final inspection and pressure testing verification.
Our industrial hydraulic cylinders expertise ensures every unit exceeds OEM benchmarks at lower lifecycle cost.

Working Principle
The nan converts hydraulic power into linear steering motion. The pump sends flow through a priority valve ensuring the steering circuit receives volume even when lift and tilt demand simultaneously. Fluid enters the 40mm bore, displacing the piston. The 22mm chrome rod translates pressure through 60mm travel. On return, fluid exits to the reservoir via filter. Cushions decelerate the piston near stroke end.

Applications
In forklift steering, the nan replaces OEM cylinders on 1.5-ton to 5-ton capacity classes. The 40mm bore matches standard steering pump output ensuring compatible flow and pressure. Cold storage facilities value low-temperature seal performance where conventional units harden and leak. Port operations deploy this on reach stackers and straddle carriers where steering reliability directly impacts container throughput and vessel turnaround times.

Brand Compatibility
This 40mm bore cylinder directly replaces OEM actuators on JAC, Linde, and Crown forklift series. Ever-power maintains a dimensional database cross-referencing over 2,000 OEM part numbers ensuring physical and hydraulic compatibility without machine modification. Fleet managers running mixed-brand operations appreciate inventory consolidation ?? one Ever-power part number replaces multiple OEM references while maintaining OEM-level performance and reliability in demanding shift work.

Manufacturing & Quality
Manufacturing begins with material inspection ?? 27SiMn steel at 520MPa yield verified. CNC turning machines shape the 40mm barrel OD and cap threads to H8. Honing produces the critical bore finish. Pistons are CNC’d from ductile iron with PTFE bands, assembled in Class 1000 cleanroom. Every cylinder pressure-tested at 1.5?? rating for 60 seconds.

How to Select the Right Hydraulic Cylinder
Specifying the correct hydraulic cylinder requires matching physical dimensions, force requirements, and environmental conditions. For the 40mm bore, 22mm rod, 60mm stroke, and 260mm mounting distance of your application, verify each parameter systematically against your equipment drawings and operating specifications to ensure proper fit and function.
- Verify Bore Diameter
The 40mm bore produces 25N at 20 MPa. Measure existing bore or calculate from system pressure and required force. Ensure the bore matches your hydraulic pump output and valve capacity. - Confirm Rod Diameter
The 22mm rod must withstand side loads from steering linkage. Verify rod end threads match knuckle arm. Check chrome surface is free of scoring that would damage seals during operation. - Measure Stroke Length
Measure full linear travel from retracted to extended. The 60mm stroke must equal or exceed this distance. Consider internal cushioning requirements for smooth deceleration.

Structural Components
The 40mm barrel forms the pressure vessel from seamless 27SiMn tubing with honed interior serving as piston bearing surface. End caps are precision-threaded steel forgings containing inlet ports and attachment points. Inside, the ductile iron piston with PTFE wear rings divides the barrel into two pressure chambers. The 22mm rod extends through the gland combining wiper seal, rod seal, and bearing sleeve. Static O-rings seal barrel-to-cap joints; threading rather than welding enables future rebuild.
