Hydraulic Cylinders: 70 vs. 210 bar... Which one should you choose?

The choice between 70 bar hydraulic cylinders and 210 bar depends on various technical factors related to the application, load, and operating conditions.

Nuova Emmebi Cilindri designs and manufactures custom hydraulic cylinders, offering solutions for both standard and high-pressure applications.

In this guide, we analyze the main differences between the two types to help you choose the most suitable cylinder.

Difference between 70 bar and 210 bar hydraulic cylinders

70 bar hydraulic cylinders

70 bar cylinders are suitable for applications requiring:

  • precise movement
  • operating speed
  • medium loads
  • continuous but light use

Typically used in:

  • machine tools
  • industrial automation
  • handling systems
  • lightweight systems

210 bar hydraulic cylinders

The 210 bar cylinders are designed for high-intensity applications, where the following are required:

  • high forces
  • heavy load resistance
  • reliability in harsh conditions
  • long service life

Used in:

  • hydraulic presses
  • steel plants
  • earthmoving machinery
  • heavy industrial plants
