3 Applications for Hydraulic Cylinders Outside of Industrial Equipment

  1. Office chairs: This is an example of how hydraulic cylinders can be used in everyday objects. In many office chairs, the part that allows you to lift the seat of the office chair relies on a hydraulic cylinder to adjust the height of the seat. Recliners also often rely on such systems to provide a smooth motion for reclining to your level of comfort.
  1. Airplanes: The landing system on airplanes typically use hydraulic cylinders to provide reliable strength to extend the landing equipment and to ensure a smooth and safe landing for the airplane rather than risking damage to the plane upon arrival at your destination.
  1. Healthcare beds and chairs: In the same way that office chairs use hydraulic cylinders to lift the seat to the right height, hospital beds and dental chairs can include hydraulic cylinders as well to adjust the positioning.
