Hydraulic cylinders, often referred to as jacks or rams, are components in a hydraulic system that are responsible for movement. As such, they are usually seen as the “muscle” of a hydraulic system that performs push and pull movements. The movement comes from the pressure that is generated in a hydraulic system. This is usually from a pump that is connected to one of the ports on the hydraulic cylinder. A pressurised hydraulic fluid, such as hydraulic oil, is pumped into the cylinder which then extends the pistons.
