Hidden Danger of Oil Leakage in Hydraulic Cylinders to Restrain Market Growth

The slick surfaces create risk due to leaking of hydraulic fluid that creates risk for workers especially in high-risk environment such as heavy industries. Such hydraulic leaks can pose serious threat to the health due to inhalation, ingestion, or accidental injection. Accidental injection occurs when high-pressure hydraulic fluid leaks cause fluid to be rapidly injected into the skin. These factors are estimated to restrain the hydraulic cylinders market growth during the forecast period.   

Rapid Technological Advancements in Hydraulic Cylinders to Generate Huge Opportunities

The advancements in hydraulic cylinders such as corrosion resistance due to the use of nitro steel rods compared to chrome-plated cylinder rods are estimated to drive huge growth opportunities in the market. For instance, the use of nitro steel rods offers wear & dent resistance and lubrication resistance. In addition, the chrome-plated rods of hydraulic cylinders are hard and thin that result in oil leaks and failure. In addition, the nitro steel rods operating in rugged environment mighty get nicked or scratched but as there is no plating or coating there is no risk of flaking or delamination. This helps in reducing the risk of hydraulic oil leaks and failure. Such nitro steel rods in hydraulic cylinders can be used across various applications such as industrial, oilfield, marine, construction equipment, and machineries.
