Ported End Cap
The Ported End Cap is a versatile hydraulic cylinder component designed to provide both structural closure and fluid control within the cylinder assembly. Unlike blank or plain bored end caps, this type features integrated ports, allowing hydraulic fluid to flow directly into or out of the cylinder chamber.
Ported end caps are built to withstand high working pressures, heavy side loads, and continuous duty cycles. The machining ensures exact alignment of internal components, such as pistons and glands, while the ports provide direct connection points for hydraulic hoses or pipework. Depending on the application, these ports can be customised in terms of size, threading, and positioning, giving engineers greater flexibility in system design.
Ported end caps are widely used where space efficiency and reliable performance are critical. Their ability to integrate fluid entry and exit directly into the end cap reduces the need for additional fittings and connections, improving overall system efficiency and reducing potential leak points.
At Hydraulic Megastore, our Ported End Caps are available in a wide selection of sizes, bore diameters, port options, and pressure ratings, ensuring compatibility with both standard and custom hydraulic cylinders.
