Our system features a single hydraulic cylinder, this one large bore cylinder powers the bellcrank linkage system. This system has the advantage of a positive, precision mechanical drive coupled with the ease and safety of a hydraulic power plant. There are not multiple cylinders or pivoting swing-beam drives causing distortion. This drive system is how we provide full tonnage along the table and there is no balancing required, just straight tonnage.
