Features
Key Features of Our Civil Cylinders
Newly created technological methods for surface technologies, have replaced old technologies, like plasma sprayed Ceramax. Laser cladded, thermal spraying and overlay welding have become the standard. Together, these in-house technologies form Van Halteren Technologies’ brand name for rod coatings: Enduroq.
For all environmental situations, Enduroq surface technologies can offer excellent solutions. Furthermore, Enduroq integrates concepts for selecting, engineering and producing leads, steering to the highest quality products and services.
We have developed a Seal Matrix for all kinds of applications and piston rod surfaces.
The most critical aspect of cylinders is the combination of different technologies. Optimal interaction between rod surface, hydraulic fluid and seal configuration is essential. Tribology analyzes the friction, lubrication and wear of interacting surfaces in relative motion, guaranteeing improved lifetime.
Fully integrated in the hydraulic cylinder, CIMS requires the application of the CIMS profile beneath the rod surface. The CIMS measuring system works in every environmental situation, such as dredging vessels, offshore platforms, ship loading and unloading systems, tunneling machines and bridges.
A reliable mechanical locking system designed to ensure safe and stable performance under demanding conditions.
An integrated oil reservoir that ensures safe operation in an emergency closure of a vertical gate.

FAQ
Learn about the essential role of hydraulic cylinders in major civil engineering projects like dams, bridges, and locks.
What are hydraulic cylinders and where are they commonly used in civil engineering?
Hydraulic cylinders are mechanical devices that convert hydraulic pressure into linear force and motion. In civil engineering, they are crucial components in structures that require precise, powerful, and controlled movement. Common applications include dams, ship locks, movable bridges and coastal protection barriers.
Why are hydraulic cylinders preferred for large-scale civil engineering projects?
Hydraulic systems are highly valued for their exceptional power density, generating immense force from compact units. They offer precise control for smooth positioning of heavy structures and ensure high operational reliability even in harsh conditions. Their robust design provides outstanding durability and fatigue strength for long lifespans.
How does Van Halteren Technologies ensure the reliability and precision of cylinders for critical infrastructure?
With extensive experience and deep understanding of automation technologies, we ensure projects function reliably. This is achieved by utilizing the newest cylinder measuring systems for exact gate positioning, combined with robust design and manufacturing. For mega-projects, we leverage our global network, coordinated by local specialists, for seamless execution and reliable solutions.
