How Limiters Affect Safety and Efficiency in Construction

Properly selected stroke limits can create repeatable motion and reduce unnecessary travel in compatible equipment.

Construction equipment using controlled hydraulic movement

Properly selected stroke limits can create repeatable motion and reduce unnecessary travel in compatible equipment.

A mechanical stroke stop can define the usable travel of a compatible hydraulic cylinder. It supports repeatability but never replaces system relief, guarding, inspection, or manufacturer procedures.

What matters most

A mechanical stroke stop can define the usable travel of a compatible hydraulic cylinder. It supports repeatability but never replaces system relief, guarding, inspection, or manufacturer procedures.

Key considerations

  • Correct cylinder rod diameter
  • Required working travel
  • Secure installation
  • Load and equipment instructions
  • Inspection before every use

Put it to work

Use a limiter only in an approved application and verify that the chosen stop cannot interfere with safe articulation, retention, or other machine functions.

The ANBO approach

ANBO parts support can help identify the correct block size after the cylinder and application details are confirmed.

Put the right attachment on your machine.

Let ANBO verify the fit.
