Italian engineering heritage and Grices cylinder manufacturing evolution
The engineering background of Italian manufacturer Grices originated in 1978 when Bruno Cesana established a specialized cylinder machining plant in the province of Lecco.
Accumulating comprehensive experience in fluid power actuation and mechanical engineering, the family-led company expanded into a prominent European manufacturer of industrial hydraulic actuators.
Modern manufacturing operations of Grices are situated in the municipality of Valgreghentino within the Lombardy industrial district. The production site integrates automated multi-axis numeric control turning centers, robotic welding stations, and specialized bore honing equipment.
The factory supplies precision actuation components to machine tool builders, injection molders, and shipbuilding yards.
Standard industrial tie-rod cylinders series CH under ISO 6020/2 and DIN 24554
The Grices CH cylinder portfolio represents standardized fluid power actuators engineered with square heads and high-tensile tie-rods adhering to ISO 6020/2 and DIN 24554 standards.
These actuators sustain continuous nominal working pressures up to 16 MPa alongside hydraulic pressure surges up to 25 MPa under demanding round-the-clock factory duty cycles.
A comprehensive array of mounting arrangements includes fourteen standardized pivot eyes, intermediate trunnions, and mounting flange attachments.
The mechanical layout provides three rod diameter configurations for every bore dimension, alongside optional integration of magnetostrictive linear transducers for automated tooling lines requiring precise digital positioning feedback.
Heavy-duty hydraulic cylinders series CC for metallurgy and steelworks
Heavy-duty cylinders Grices series CC are engineered in rigorous conformity with international standards ISO 6022 and DIN 24333.
Actuators incorporate massive round heads and reinforced mounting flanges, empowering long-term performance under continuous working pressures of 25 MPa throughout hot rolling mills, metal smelting facilities, and heavy mining machinery.
Heavy-wall precision honed steel tubes and alloy steel rods coated with hard chrome withstand substantial radial side loads and abrasive industrial particulate atmospheres.
The specialized CCT variant incorporates an internal magnetostrictive position transducer protected from external mechanical impacts and structural vibrations characteristic of forging presses.
Compact short-stroke cylinders series CB for tooling and injection dies
Compact short-stroke hydraulic cylinders Grices series CB are designed for integration within restricted envelopes inside plastic injection molds, stamping tools, and automated clamping jigs.
A minimized overall body length permits mounting inside narrow tooling cavities, providing dependable mold locking and part ejection forces under nominal pressures of 16 MPa.
The cylinder body incorporates longitudinal profiling grooves to accommodate compact non-contact magnetic position switches.
Specialized elastomer seal elements provide minimal frictional resistance and leak-free performance across high-frequency cycling and elevated operating temperatures found in industrial plastics processing.
Welded hydraulic cylinders series CL for mobile machinery and lift mechanisms
Welded hydraulic cylinders Grices series CL are tailored for mobile equipment, aerial work platforms, lifting jibs, and loading dock equipment.
The solid welded body architecture offers elevated specific yield strength, outstanding rigidity against bending moments, and dependable resistance to mobile machine vibration under standard operating pressures of 14 MPa.
The elimination of external longitudinal tie-rods reduces cylinder radial clearance and avoids loose threaded fasteners under severe mechanical shock conditions.
Specially formulated anti-friction piston wear rings prevent metal-to-metal rubbing, protecting internal honed barrel finishes from scratching or galling during long operational intervals.
Marine corrosion-resistant cylinders series MXP and COA in AISI 316 steel
The specialized marine cylinder series Grices MXP and COA is developed for operating gangways, boarding ladders, stern ramps, and steering rudders on motor yachts and commercial ships.
Critical structural elements are fabricated from AISI 316 molybdenum-stabilized stainless steel and corrosion-resistant marine brass OT58, resisting continuous salt fog immersion.
An innovative design characteristic of the MXP series incorporates internal fluid delivery pathways through the rear pivot pin, completely avoiding external flexible hydraulic hoses.
This design preserves operational reliability during underwater submersion and prevents mechanical pinching against stern hulls and transom framework.
