The hydraulic guide pillar is an externally hardened pillar with an integrated hydraulic cylinder. This way, loads coupled with the piston rod can be precisely guided and moved without straining the cylinder with side loads.
With the hydraulic guide pillar, two functions can be realised with one structural element while saving space at the same time: the linear movement of a hydraulic cylinder and the exact guide of a round pillar. Very high guide forces can be transmitted thanks to the hardened surface of the guide pillar.
