When you need hydraulic components that can take a beating and still perform, Magister is one of the most reliable names in the game. Their components are competitively priced, tariff-free, and backed by a solid two-year warranty. And when you source them through Union Hydraulics, you also get local support, fast lead times, and expert guidance.

Magister stands out because they bring together precise European engineering, quality-controlled manufacturing, and a deep understanding of what industries need from their hydraulic systems. Whether you need a one-off replacement or are placing a large order of custom parts, they’ve got you covered—and so do we.

Custom Hydraulic Cylinders Built for You

One of Magister's core strengths is custom hydraulic cylinders. They design both single-acting and double-acting cylinders that can be tailored for your specific application. From tubing and seals to mount types and stroke length, everything is customizable.

Their cylinders are engineered to thrive in tough conditions—thanks to details like nylon glass guide rings, high-tensile honed tubing, precision-threaded glands, and a compact five-part sealing system. These features combine to ensure performance and longevity, even in rugged jobsites and demanding environments.

Custom cylinders start at a minimum of 50 units. That volume ensures Magister can maintain their precision standards and consistent quality—while keeping lead times reasonable.

Advanced European Engineering Sets Them Apart

Magister’s edge lies in their commitment to engineering excellence. Every product is built using quality European steel and components and manufactured to exacting specifications. Their use of advanced machining and manufacturing methods means better performance, longer life, and fewer failures in the field.

From piston tolerances to seal fitment, they don’t cut corners—and neither do we when we recommend them. It’s this level of engineering that makes Magister a go-to for our customers across the Carolinas and beyond.

Hydraulic Pumps & Power Units That Work Hard

Magister offers a complete line of hydraulic pumps—including piston, gear, and electric hydraulic pumps. Each one is designed to fit different performance needs.

Piston Pumps (especially axial) are ideal for high-pressure jobs and precise motion control.
Gear Pumps provide steady, reliable flow and are easy to maintain.
Electric Hydraulic Pumps are great for automation and high-efficiency operations.

They also produce compact hydraulic power units, commonly used in dump trailers. These 12V units are plug-and-play, simple to install, and come with remote controls for easier operation—perfect for landscaping and light-duty construction equipment.

Built to Last: Magister’s Commitment to Quality

Magister takes quality seriously. Every product is built to meet ISO 9001:2015 standards, which means they follow strict protocols to ensure consistency, durability, and safety. Regular internal and third-party audits keep quality controls sharp.

They also meet SAE and CSA standards where required, so you can rest easy knowing your components are compliant—especially important for industrial clients or projects with strict regulatory requirements.

Full Range of Hydraulic Components

Beyond cylinders and pumps, Magister produces a variety of supporting components to keep your systems running smoothly. These include:

Pom-C Wear Rings – Reduce friction, extend cylinder life, and protect against scoring.
O-Rings – Critical for leak prevention and maintaining pressure integrity.
Tie Rods, Hose Assemblies, and Seals – Built to the same exacting standards as their main product lines.

When you need a complete hydraulic solution, Magister delivers—and we make sure you get exactly what you need the first time.
