A high quality 3D model of a Hydraulic Cylinder Piston, rigged with controllers at each end, these controllers can be parented to other objects to create piston-like movements.

A hydraulic cylinder (also called a linear hydraulic motor) is a mechanical actuator that is used to give a unidirectional force through a unidirectional stroke. It has many applications, notably in construction equipment (engineering vehicles), manufacturing machinery, elevators, and civil engineering. They are also often used in futuristic robotics. A hydraulic cylinder is a hydraulic actuator that provides linear motion when hydraulic energy is converted into mechanical movement. It can be likened to a muscle in that, when the hydraulic system of a machine is activated, the cylinder is responsible for providing the motion.

Our hydraulic cylinder has the following parts:

• Cylinder barrel
• Cylinder base or cap
• Cylinder head
• Piston
• Piston rod
• Glands
• And nut/bolt connections.

A hydraulic cylinder can assist in powering essential tools, such as forklifts, excavators, and bulldozers. They are also often used in the automatic industry, on robotic arms and rigs, seen in factories or on construction sites. Another use would be on robotic humanoids, androids, animatronics, cyborgs etc.

We have included PBR textures.

The model is great to use in your games, films as CGI, VR, or animations. It's low poly but holds enough detail to place into a scene for a realistic CGI element.

Technical Specifications: File Formats: MB, MA, OBJ, FBX, STL, VRSCENE

Other than Autodesk Maya, file types (OBJ, FBX, STL, VRSCENE) include only standard materials without advanced shaders or materials. If you would like to use the textures outside of Vray renderer, you can still use the png images, but would have to recreate the materials in your required software. As we've included all textures, it should be quick to make a PBR material with minimal need of adjustment (just plug the textures into the correct inputs/nodes and you're good to go.)

Whether you're a student, educator, or designer aiming for simplicity in your projects, this Rigged Hydraulic Cylinder Piston model serves as an accessible and valuable resource.
