Ortman Fluid Power Ortman Fluid Power makes and sells the highest quality hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. The Ortman name is known in many industries around the world..timber, mining, paper, food & drug, entertainment, foundries, marina, railroad, oil processing, and many more. Our cylinders are used in manufacturing equipment, mining equipment, draw bridges, dam gates, nuclear power plants, timber equipment and any application that requires a reliable hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder. We know fluid power technology and how to build quality fluid power products because we’ve been involved in the industry since 1945. That’s the year five men began on their vision of a company that would supply a quality machined product…..shortly after the 101 series cylinder line and Ortman Fluid Power, that we know of today, was born.
