Welding is certified to EN ISO 3834-2 and every cylinder is tested to ISO 10100.

What bore, stroke and pressure can Soydan Hidrolik manufacture?

Standard manufacture covers bores Ø25–400 mm, rods Ø16–280 mm and strokes up to 4,000 mm. On a project basis the envelope extends to Ø1,000 mm bore, Ø700 mm rod, 12,000 mm stroke and 400 bar working pressure. Family ranges: HYC-N Ø25–200 mm at 160/210 bar; HYC-T Ø25–320 mm at 160/250 bar; HYC-F Ø50–400 mm at 250/350 bar; HYC-W Ø40–400 mm (Ø1,000 mm project) to 400 bar.

How are Soydan Hidrolik cylinders tested?

100% of production is pressure-tested to ISO 10100 at working pressure and at 1.5 times working pressure (for example at least 525 bar for the HYC-F range) on in-house test benches, and each cylinder ships with a serialised test report. Welded joints pass NDT Level II inspection before testing; the stroke and cushioning function are verified against the drawing.

Can Soydan Hidrolik build a cylinder to my drawing or replace an existing one?

Yes. Send a drawing (PDF, DWG or STEP), a sample, or just the application data (force, stroke, pressure, speed, mounting, environment). Engineering performs buckling and strength calculations, selects seals and materials, and issues 2D/3D drawings for approval; approved drawings are held under revision control so repeat orders are identical. A free online drawing generator produces a general-arrangement draft in minutes.

Does Soydan Hidrolik manufacture hydraulic power units?
