(Q) Why is the single cylinder
system better than a two-cylinder system?
(A) The Standard Industrial hydra-mechanical
single cylinder system has proven itself over the last 40 years
to outlast and outperform its competitors. Beyond the sheer
heavy-duty frame and outright rigidity of the system, there
are many reasons we consistently beat the competition.
The primary reason (1) cylinder is better than (2) cylinders
is that there is no “balancing act” during operation.
With our one cylinder system the full tonnage is developed all
the way across the bed. Our design allows the operator to form
full-length bends all across the bed or if necessary to off-center
load near the machines capacity.
In contrast, a (2) cylinder system like a torque tube design
cannot develop the machines full tonnage all across the bed
and it has very limited off-center loading capabilities. For
example, a 175 x 12’ torque tube design machine does not
have the ability to develop 175 tons the full 12’ of the
bed. They basically only develop the 175 tons near the center
of the bed.
