Here are the five of the most interesting hydraulic cylinder videos that we’ve found online, along with short descriptions of each one. What other videos to you recommend? Let us know in the comments box below!

This fun 5-minute video, “How its made—hydraulic cylinders” shows exactly how hydraulic cylinders are built from the ground up. A good tutorial that shows how all the parts of a cylinder work in tandem.

While this video is a glorified powerpoint presentation, we included it because it covers an important topic area—the reasons for hydraulic cylinder seal failures, as well as solutions. Worth a watch.

Interesting 8-minute video of someone rebuilding a cylinder from his tractor. The ultimate in do-it yourself cylinder repair and very informative!

While this isn’t the most educational video on hydraulic cylinders, we loved this 3-minute video from Diamond Hydraulics that shows them testing one of their multi-stage cylinders—this one a 75-foot stroke behemoth!

This short video explains the operation of hydraulic cylinders, and via the use of some simple animation, shows how the cylinders fit into a system, including a pump and control valve.

    The given videos are very useful to know the working procedure of hydraulic cylinder pump, large vertical hydraulic cylinder and their seal failures solutions. I like Diamond Hydraulics video very much as a real time example.

    Very detailed break down of the double acting tube cross cylinder on the third video. Great Stuff.
