Mill Type Hydraulic Cylinders

HSI Corporation sets the standard for large custom mill type cylinders. Our cylinders excel in harsh environments that demand tough heavy duty equipment. For decades, HSI has built hydraulic cylinders for steel mills and other severe duty locations. Our custom designed cylinders set the standard for reliability and repairability. Often times, custom cylinders like these often require precise engineering designs and high strength materials. Rigorous testing is needed to ensure performance and safety in the field. HSI has over 40 years of experience meeting customers’ requirements by manufacturing these type cylinders.
