Where to find/purchase aircraft hydraulic actuator

[Pks]

Back in high school, my hydraulics instructor had several test panels that had aircraft hydraulic actuators: cylinders, jack-screw motors and flow controllers. They were interesting in that they were made to operate with very high pressures (closer to 5ksi than 2ksi). The cylinders had a small diameter, about an inch and smaller, I think.

Does anyone know where aircraft motors and cylinders can be purchased? I'd like to use a small cylinder to actuate my snow blower's chute deflector.

Surplus Center , If you don't see what you want call and ask because they have more than what they show on the web site or in the catalog. Ask for a catalog, it's nice to have around.
