We often talk about the moving parts when we think about machines in production processes. This is not the answer to all issues. Sometimes you have to push, pull, lower or lift. This is where hydraulic or pneumatic cy­linders come in are used. For example excavators can use these cylinders to move soil with enormous forces. In a much more subtle way this technique is also used, for example, with door closers. Applications are multiple, but here too the golden rule is that there should be as little resistance as possible. After all, less resistance and the right lubricants ensure optimal operation of these cylinders. Big or small: Aimol has the right grease, pastes or oil for the every cylinder. Ask your local Aimol distributor for advice.
