Welcome to Peninsular Cylinder Co., where we don’t just make cylinders, we craft stories of power, precision, and performance. We’re not just a company, we’re a community of innovators, creators, and problem solvers, dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the world of hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders.

Our story began in 1948, in the heart of America’s industrial base, the home of the automotive industry. An industry that thrives on precision, speed, and reliability, where downtime is not an option. Our founders were visionaries who understood the critical role of hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders in keeping the wheels of the automotive industry turning. They set out to create cylinders that were not just good, but exceptional, able to withstand the rigorous demands of the automotive industry.

Today, we’ve diversified, but the foundation laid in our automotive roots remains. Our cylinders are built with the same commitment to quality, reliability, and performance that was demanded by the automotive industry. Regardless of  industry, our cylinders are designed to keep your operations running smoothly and efficiently.

But we’re not just about products. We’re about people. Our outstanding customer service team is here to ensure that your cylinder experience is unmatched.

We invite you to join us on this journey. Use our online configurator to design a standard cylinder that meets your needs. Looking for something more custom? Fill out our Application Data Sheet to provide us with all the necessary information to make a recommended design.

As we look to the future, we’re inspired by the past. The principles of fluid power were first discovered by Blaise Pascal in the 17th century. His work laid the foundation for the technology we use today. We invite you to learn more about the history of fluid power and how it continues to shape our world.

This same standard of excellence extends to Crankshaft Machine Group, a leader in broaching machine design and manufacturing. With a shared legacy of high-performance manufacturing, we ensure industries requiring precision-engineered components can rely on our expertise and innovation
