Shield Machine Cylinder

A shield machine cylinder is a vital part utilized in tunnel boring machines and is responsible for providing the immense thrust and force to advance the cutter head. Rugged hydraulic cylinders allow for precise, powerful, and continuous motion and enable the shield machine to perform continuously and smoothly even under the extreme conditions below the earth's surface. They are also manufactured from very strong materials, giving them outstanding durability, reliability, and resistance to difficult working conditions. The efficacy of shield machines and their hydraulic cylinders directly affects the efficiency, safety, and accuracy of the tunneling process. With today's advanced designs, the hydraulic cylinders are now used to support large infrastructure projects such as subways, highways, and underground utilities, demonstrating they are a virtually irreplaceable tool in modern construction.
