    Product Introduction of ROEMHELD Block Hydraulic Cylinder B1.738

    Product Overview

    The ROEMHELD B1.738 is a double-acting block hydraulic cylinder with integrated guide housing, designed to absorb heavy lateral loads and bending moments. The unit consists of a standard flange-mounted block cylinder coupled to a hardened clamping bolt sliding inside an independent guide housing. Force generation and linear guidance are mechanically separated, protecting the piston rod and internal seals from radial forces.

    Two housing material options are available: steel version with max. extending pressure 500 bar, and lightweight aluminium housing rated for 350 bar. The retracting pressure for all variants is limited to 350 bar.

    Three base cylinder configurations can be combined with the guide housing:

    1. Basic block cylinder (B1.5094) without position monitoring
    2. Through piston rod cylinder (B1.552) for rear-mounted inductive proximity sensors
    3. Magnetic piston cylinder (B1.554, aluminium housing) with sliding magnetic sensors in dovetail grooves
      Hydraulic ports can be arranged on either left or right side of the block to simplify fixture layout.
    Q: What’s the MOQ of customized tie-rod cylinder?

    A: Depends on the style of tie-rod. We would like to cast and forge once the quantity above 100 pcs.

    Q:What’s the lead time of customized tie-rod cylinder?

    A:  Well, it depends on the quantity and style of hydrualic cylinders, at least 60 days if we make casting and forging, at least 35 days by maching.

    Q: Are you the manufacturer of hydrualic cylinder?

    A: Sure, we are the manufacutuer and trading of hydraulic cylinder.

    Q: What is the difference between double acting and single acting cylinders?own controlled by the pump or the valve or is it only one speed?

    A: Double-Acting-have a port at each end, supplied with hydraulic fluid for both the retraction and extension. Single-Acting-hydraulic fluid enters through

    a port at one end of the cylinder, which extends the rod by means of area difference. An external force or gravity returns the piston rod.

    Q: I have a drawing, could you customized cylinder as my drawing?

    A: Sure. Show us the drawing, we will quote for you soonest.

    Q: Could you make the cylinder which is not on the above data sheet?

    A: Yes, we make and supply a wide rang of hydrualic cylinders as a proffetional manufacture, there are only some kinds of them show on the website. Freely contact us to get more information.

    Separated Force and Guidance System

    The hydraulic piston rod only transmits axial force; all lateral loads and torques are absorbed by the external guide housing and hardened clamping bolt. This prevents seal damage and piston jamming caused by side forces, greatly extending cylinder service life.

    Two Housing Material Selections

    • Steel housing: High pressure rating up to 500 bar, suitable for heavy clamping loads.
    • Aluminium housing: Lightweight, cost-effective for medium-load automation tooling.

    Flexible Position Monitoring Options

    Customers can select three different base cylinder modules to match sensor requirements: no monitoring, rear-end inductive detection, or full-stroke adjustable magnetic sensor detection.

    Flexible Hydraulic Port Layout

    Hydraulic ports can be fitted on the left or right side of the block body, offering greater freedom for compact fixture design.

    Robust Dust & Contamination Protection

    Built-in wiper seal on the guide housing prevents coolant, metal chips and machining debris from entering the sliding guide interface, ideal for harsh CNC machining environments.
