01
Family and size
Pick the Hydrocyl™ family; the bore hint shows its standard range. Enter bore (the tube's inside diameter), rod and stroke in millimetres, keeping the rod at or below 0.8 × bore.
[β]Drawing Studio
Hydraulic cylinder drawings: brief in, drawing out.
Give us six numbers and get a dimensioned general-arrangement sketch of your cylinder — with the Hydrocyl™ ordering code assembled for you. Indicative geometry, engineering-review accuracy comes with the quote.
GA sketch · indicative geometry · not for manufacture — the engineering file that ships with every Hydrocyl™ is dimensionally exact.
[01]How to use it
Draw a hydraulic cylinder in three steps.
02
Mountings and options
Choose how each end is fixed: rear eye, clevis or foot; front flange, rod eye or plain thread. Then pressure class, cushioning, seals and RAL paint colour.
03
Check, then send
The line under the code flags three cases: a bore outside the family's standard range (project basis), a rod at 85% of bore or more (small annulus, less pull force) and a stroke over 4,000 mm (project basis, buckling check). Then download or quote.
[02]Ordering code
The ordering code, segment by segment.
Bore and rod are padded to three digits, so a 70 mm rod reads 070.
HYC-T-100-070-1000-MF3-250-AA-KP-RAL5010
T — family: N, T, F or W
100 — bore Ø, mm
070 — rod Ø, mm
1000 — stroke, mm
MF3 — front / rod end: MF3, EY or TH
250 — pressure class: 160, 250, 350 or 400 bar
AA — cushioning: AA both ends, NN none
KP — seals: KP NBR/PU, KV Viton
RAL5010 — paint colour (RAL)
The rear mounting (CA, CP or MS) is drawn but not coded: name it in the quote notes or attach the PNG. Trunnions and other mountings are listed on the HYC-N, HYC-T, HYC-F and HYC-W pages.
[03]Scope
A GA sketch, not a production drawing.
It is
A dimensioned GA sketch
Closed and open length, stroke, tube OD, bore and rod, two ports with an estimated BSP size and, on eye mountings, the pin bore. The title block carries the code.
It is not
To scale or for manufacture
Values marked ≈ and the tube OD are estimates. Every SVG and PNG export is watermarked INDICATIVE · NOT FOR MANUFACTURE.
The exact version
From engineering
The 2D GA drawing, 3D model and mounting-dimension tables are issued at quotation. Every custom cylinder ships with its engineering file and ISO 10100 test report.
[04]Straight answers
Drawing Studio questions. Answered plainly.
01 Is the Drawing Studio free?
Yes. Drawing and both downloads are free, with no sign-up. The sketch is generated in your browser.
02 Is the drawing to scale? Can it be used for manufacture?
No. The title block says NOT TO SCALE and every export is marked NOT FOR MANUFACTURE. Engineering-reviewed drawings come with the quotation.
03 Can I send my own drawing instead?
Yes. The quote form accepts PDF, PNG, JPG, STEP, DWG and DXF files up to 10 MB.
04 What happens after I send the code?
‘Quote these specs’ opens the quote form with the code filled in. Soydan engineering reviews every request; a binding quotation typically follows within 1–3 working days.
05 Which series and standards does it cover?
Four Hydrocyl™ families: HYC-N (ISO 6020-1), HYC-T (ISO 6020-2), HYC-F (ISO 6022) and HYC-W (welded). For mill-type (HYC-M) or servo (HYC-S) cylinders, send your drawing through the quote form.
