Ever-power is recognized as a leading hydraulic cylinder manufacturer serving OEMs and distributors across 40+ countries.
Product Overview
The nan is manufactured for OEMs who refuse to compromise. The 40mm bore is honed to H8 tolerance, creating ideal surface for piston seals. The 22mm rod undergoes induction hardening plus 20-micron chrome deposition, producing HV 900+ hardness resisting pitting in warehouse and construction environments. The compact 40mm bore generates sufficient steering force for light-to-medium forklifts.
Installation requires verifying the 50mm stroke matches your steering linkage geometry and that mounting pin centers align within ??2mm of specification. Proper hose routing with adequate bend radius prevents port stress and premature fitting failure. Ever-power provides installation guides with torque specifications for all threaded connections.
Key Features
Precision-Honed Barrel
The 40mm bore receives precision honing to H8 tolerance with cross-hatch surface pattern. This optimizes lubricant film retention and minimizes seal wear during high-cycle steering operations in demanding warehouse and distribution environments where reliability directly impacts operational uptime.
Hard Chrome Rod
The 22mm rod carries ??20??m hard chrome plating achieving HV 900+ surface hardness. This resists corrosion and abrasion from airborne contaminants, cleaning chemicals, and temperature fluctuations common in industrial material handling operations worldwide.
Triple-Barrier Seals
Three-stage architecture employs PTFE-bronze wiper to exclude contamination, polyurethane U-cup for dynamic pressure sealing, and NBR O-ring for static gland sealing. This combination delivers bidirectional leak-free performance across temperature extremes from -30??C to +100??C.
Full Pressure Testing
Every production unit undergoes hydrostatic testing at 1.5?? working pressure with minimum 60-second hold time and zero leakage acceptance criteria. Test pressure and duration exceed ISO 10771 requirements for hydraulic fluid power cylinders.
This demonstrates why Ever-power is preferred for single acting hydraulic cylinder among fleet operators.

Working Principle
The nan operates as a double-acting linear actuator. During extension, pressurized fluid enters the cap-end port acting on the full 40mm bore area. The resulting force extends the 22mm rod to 50mm stroke. During retraction, fluid shifts to the rod-end port; the annular area generates pull force against return loads. A meter-out valve regulates speed while the relief valve limits pressure.
Applications
The nan is purpose-built for forklift steering systems where precise angular control and rapid response are non-negotiable. Its 40mm bore generates torque to pivot steer wheels through full arc, even when stationary and loaded. Narrow-aisle warehouses benefit from consistent steering feel reducing operator fatigue during long shifts. The unit also suits AGVs where repeatability determines navigation accuracy along defined paths. Marine terminal operations and cold storage facilities particularly value the responsive steering and low-temperature seal performance.
Brand Compatibility
Engineered for interchangeability, this unit matches mounting envelope, port geometry, and force characteristics of factory cylinders on Mitsubishi material handling equipment. Pin-eye and clevis dimensions conform to OEM specifications used by TCM and Heli, allowing direct bolt-on replacement without adapters or bracket modifications. Aftermarket distributors stock this as a universal solution for Hangcha forklift families commonly found in rental and leasing fleets requiring rapid turnaround.

How to Select the Right Hydraulic Cylinder
Selecting a replacement cylinder involves evaluation of multiple interdependent parameters. Use this framework to confirm the 40mm ?? 22mm ?? 50mm unit with 305mm mounting suits your equipment. Each parameter affects performance, installation compatibility, and service life in your specific operating environment.
- Check Mounting Dimensions
Center-to-center between pins must match 305mm ??2mm. Verify pin diameter compatibility. Check hose and fitting clearance at full extension without interference. - Pressure Compatibility
Confirm system operates at ??25 MPa with this 40mm bore. Verify pump flow produces acceptable extension/retraction speed for your steering response requirements. - Specify Seal Material
Standard NBR suits mineral oil at -30??C to +100??C. Select Viton for synthetic fluids or temps above 100??C. Specify PU for water-glycol mixtures at order time.
Structural Components
The 40mm barrel is the largest structural element, thick-wall seamless steel containing 25 MPa with 4:1 safety factor. The cap-end houses the inlet port and rear mounting ?? pin-eye or clevis lug machined integrally. The piston incorporates seal grooves and wear bands centering it within the 40mm bore. The 22mm rod resists axial tension and compression; hard chrome seals against the gland and withstands environmental exposure. The threaded rod gland integrates sealing, bearing, and retention in a replaceable cartridge.
