MARK LIGHT’s Background

MARK LIGHT (established 2008) is part of the MARK Group (established 1920). Drawing on over 105 years of industrial experience and supported by a workforce of about 550 employees, the MARK Group produces billions of high-precision components each year. MARK LIGHT leverages this manufacturing strength to pioneer carbon hybrid hydraulic cylinders, combining CFRP winding technology with proven cylinder mechanics. Their operations follow strict ISO 9001 quality standards and include extensive in-house testing on specialized rigs capable of running high-pressure, multi-million-cycle endurance tests. This deep engineering culture reflects both their technical expertise and their long-standing commitment to excellence.

MARK LIGHT’s Carbon Hybrid Cylinders

MARK LIGHT’s carbon hybrid cylinders stand out for their exceptional weight reduction (up to 70% lighter than traditional steel designs). Their hybrid construction pairs conventional metal components (often steel or aluminum) with a structural carbon fiber wrap, resulting in a strong, durable, and highly efficient cylinder body. The design includes extremely thin-walled liners, precise sealing, and high performance even in micro-cylinder sizes. Customers can choose between serviceable cylinders for maintenance access or maintenance-free versions built for long, uninterrupted service life. Each cylinder undergoes comprehensive testing, including pressure, cold-temperature, cycle, and buckling tests, ensuring consistent reliability in demanding environments. With a modular architecture and flexible manufacturing approach, these cylinders can be customized to meet the exact needs of industries ranging from transport, agriculture, and maritime applications to robotics, e-mobility, and rescue operations.
