What is Hydraulic Jack?

A hydraulic jack is a tool that lifts heavy loads using fluid pressure. It works because of Pascal’s principle. According to this principle, pressure in a closed fluid moves in every direction the same way. A small force on the pump piston creates high pressure. That pressure then acts on a larger cylinder piston to lift the weight.

What makes the cylinder pipe critical? The pipe holds the piston. It keeps the high-pressure fluid inside during work. It must have a smooth bore so the piston seal stays in contact. If the wall thickness isn't the same all around, the pressure won't be equal. The pipe needs to be strong enough so it does not fail.

MS hydraulic jack pipes are precision mild steel pipes made for this application. We hone or skive the internal surface to a mirror finish. This helps the seals work and stops fluid from leaking.

Requirements of MS Hydraulic Jacks

Cylinder pipes for jacks must meet the following requirements:

  • Smooth Bore Finish: The roughness on the inside of this pipe is less than Ra 0.4 μm. This mirror finish lets seals make proper contact. It stops leaks while you are using the jack.
  • High Tensile Strength: The strength is at least 400 MPa. This stops the pipe from changing shape under pressure. It survives many uses over a long time.
  • Consistent Wall Thickness: The thickness stays within 10% of the target. A uniform wall means the stress gets evenly distributed. This prevents weak spots.
  • Good Pressure Containment: These handle 700 bar working pressure. We include a safety factor. The burst pressure is usually four times the normal rating.

MS Hydraulic Jacks Applications

MS hydraulic jack pipes are used in 3 major lifting equipment and press applications including bottle jacks, floor jacks and industrial presses:

Bottle Jacks

Hydraulic bottle jacks for automotive and industrial lifting. These compact vertical jacks use our precision cylinder pipes to lift vehicles, machinery and heavy equipment. Capacities range from 2 tons for car service to 50+ tons for truck and construction equipment lifting.

Floor Jacks

Service centres and garages use these horizontal trolley jacks. They use our honed tubes for a smooth lift. Low-profile designs get under cars easily. Heavy-duty models are for big commercial trucks.

Industrial Presses

Press cylinders and shop equipment for manufacturing and fabrication. Hydraulic press cylinders use our precision tubes for bearing press, straightening, punching and forming operations. The smooth-bore finish ensures consistent piston movement and accurate force application.
