This video shows what the inside of a hydraulic cylinder looks like and how it works. There is an explanation of O-ring replacement kits and installation.

Hi Garner Dude. The pump produces the pressure and pushes the fluid through to the cylinder. Let us know if you have any more questions.

Interesting information. thanks for the understanding of a what a cylinder is all about. I want to build a log splitter so I am learnig all this.

@reptile202 Basically a counter balance valve is implemented in a system with an internal and external pilot pressure ration a 1 to 10.

@breedist Compressors do not create pressure either>Pressure is generated by friction and resistant of load only.Please read more technical material and at least make some self study,no grieve is taking either!

@breedist~ A compressor doesnt create pressure either!

RESISTANCE to flow (of a fluid) is what creates pressure.

@reptile202 Hopefully, your system would have a relief valve that would blow-off the pressure spike, but if it were very fast or severe, it could blow out the cylinder's seals.

A common protective measure for this is a "cushion" valve, also called a cross-over relief valve.

Got a job interview tomorrow, need hydraulic cylinder knowledge, this was a big help!

@AgriSupplyHowTo What happens when a cylinder is overpowered, resulting in the cylinder being forcefully pushed down? Is the fluid forced back inside of the line or something?

pumping is done using " GEAR PUMPS" ;

very nice video :)
