Use BVA Cylinders and Pumps in Construction, Mining, Oil, Forestry, Foundation Repair, MRO and OEMs.  With A Wide Range of Cylinders, Pumps, Couplers, Valves, Hydraulic Presses, and Porta Power Accessories - BVA has the tools to Move the World.

We have Cylinders Ranging From 2 to 1,500 tons.

BVA Cylinders are Available in Aluminum or Steel.  

BVA Lightweight Aluminum Cylinders are up to 60% Lighter than Comparable Tonnage Steel Cylinders.  Aluminum Cylinders Provide a Great Alternative to the Steel Cylinder in Many Applications. Aluminum Cylinders are Highly Portable and Reduce user Fatigue and Strain.  However, due to the Finite Properties of Aluminum vs. Steel, these Cylinders Should NOT be Used in High Cycle Applications. The BVA Aluminum Cylinders are Designed for a Maximum Safety Rating of 5,000 Cycles. Under Normal Lifting Applications this Should Provide a Long Service Life.

Steel Cylinders are Much Heavier than Aluminum Cylinders
There is Low Portability with Heavier Cylinders which Creates user Fatigue and Strain. Steel Cylinders Will Out-Perform Aluminum Cylinders in High Cycle Applications. They Can exceed Aluminum Cylinders Maximum Safety Cycle Life of 5,000 cycles.

Do You know the Difference Between a Single and Double Acting Cylinder?  
In a Single Acting Hydraulic Cylinder, the Fluid Applies Pressure only on a Single Side of the Piston. Because the Hydraulic Fluid is Oil, it Does Not Compress. This means that Whenever a Force is Applied Either Through your Hands, or a Gas or Electric Pump, the Cylinder Shaft will Extend. The Oil is Pumped by the Force Into the Cylinder’s Bottom Port, Allowing for Jacking, Pushing, and Tensioning Applications. The Advantages of Using a Single Acting Hydraulic Cylinder Lie in its Ruggedness and Simplicity. They are Easier to Maintain and with Only One-Directional Force being Applied, the Piston Rod is Retracted with the Help of a Spring or External Force. They are Commonly used in Light Commercial and Industrial Applications.

In a Double Acting Hydraulic Cylinder, the Hydraulic Fluid is Used to Apply Pressure on Both Sides of the Piston Rod. This Allows for Both Extension and Retraction Without the Aid of a Spring or External Force. This Type of Cylinder has Two Connection Ports (and so does the pump), One at the Top and the Other at the Bottom of the Cylinder’s Body. By Connecting Hoses to Both Ports, the Hydraulic Fluid Applies the Desired Stroke or Pressure From the Lower End of the Cylinder. When the Required Pressure is Achieved, the Pump goes into a Neutral Position, Holding the Cylinder in Place. Likewise, the Pump Generates the Optimum Pressure to Pull Back the Extension and Cause the Rod to Collapse Back into its Pre-Extended Phase.

In Addition to a Large Selection of Cylinders We Also Offer BVA Pumps. They are Available in Hand, Electric, and Fuel Options.

Also Available are the BVA Accessories that Will Help Make Any Job a Success.  

BVA Hydraulics Products and Parts are Backed up by a Lifetime Warranty.
