Double Acting Cylinder

Y-Pin Mounting Cylinder

Y-bracket and through-pin carry high loads in a compact footprint. For heavy-duty articulating duty.

Y-Pin Mounting Cylinder

Technical specifications

Y-Pin Mounted Hydraulic Cylinders feature a Y-shaped (forked) mounting bracket with a through-pin connection, providing a secure and robust pivoting attachment point. The Y-bracket distributes mounting forces across two attachment lugs, offering superior strength compared to single-lug pin mounts.

This mounting style is commonly used in heavy-duty mobile and industrial applications where the cylinder must articulate during operation while handling significant loads. The Y-pin design accommodates angular movement while maintaining a compact mounting footprint and high load-bearing capacity.

KBR Engineers manufactures Y-pin cylinders with precision-forged or machined Y-brackets, hardened through-pins, and reinforced mounting lugs. The Y-bracket geometry can be customized to match your equipment's mounting interface, pin spacing, and load requirements.

Each cylinder features precision-honed barrels, chrome-plated piston rods, and premium sealing systems designed for thousands of cycles of reliable operation in demanding environments.
