A Hydraulic Cylinder is a mechanical actuator that converts hydraulic energy into linear motion and force. It is widely used in various industries, including construction, manufacturing, and agriculture, due to its efficiency and power. These cylinders are essential components in heavy machinery, providing the necessary force for lifting, pushing, pulling, and clamping operations.
Our hydraulic cylinders are designed to meet high standards of performance and durability. Below is a detailed table of specifications for our standard models.
| Model | Bore Size (mm) | Rod Diameter (mm) | Stroke Length (mm) | Max Pressure (psi) | Operating Temperature (°C) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HC-100 | 50 | 25 | 100-500 | 3000 | -20 to 120 |
| HC-200 | 80 | 40 | 200-1000 | 5000 | -30 to 150 |
| HC-300 | 100 | 50 | 300-1500 | 6000 | -40 to 180 |
| HC-400 | 150 | 75 | 400-2000 | 8000 | -50 to 200 |
Additional features include corrosion-resistant materials, customizable stroke lengths, and options for mounting styles such as clevis, flange, or trunnion.
What is the typical lifespan of a hydraulic cylinder?
The lifespan depends on usage, maintenance, and operating conditions. With proper care, our cylinders can last over 10,000 hours of operation. Regular inspection and fluid changes are key to longevity.
How do I choose the right hydraulic cylinder for my application?
Consider factors such as required force, stroke length, operating pressure, and environmental conditions. Our product table above provides specifications to help guide your selection, and our team can assist with custom solutions.
What maintenance is required for hydraulic cylinders?
Routine maintenance includes checking for leaks, inspecting seals and rods for damage, ensuring proper fluid levels, and replacing worn parts. It's recommended to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for specific intervals.
Can hydraulic cylinders be repaired if they fail?
Yes, most hydraulic cylinders can be repaired by replacing damaged components like seals, rods, or barrels. We offer repair services and supply genuine parts to restore performance.
What are the common causes of hydraulic cylinder failure?
Common causes include fluid contamination, seal wear, misalignment, overloading, and corrosion. Proper installation and maintenance can prevent most issues.
Are there different types of hydraulic cylinders?
Yes, main types include single-acting cylinders (force in one direction), double-acting cylinders (force in both directions), telescopic cylinders (for long strokes), and welded cylinders (compact design). Each type suits specific applications.
How does temperature affect hydraulic cylinder performance?
Extreme temperatures can impact fluid viscosity and seal integrity. Our cylinders are designed to operate within specified temperature ranges, as shown in the product table, to ensure reliability.
What materials are used in your hydraulic cylinders?
We use high-strength steel for barrels and rods, durable polyurethane or nitrile for seals, and corrosion-resistant coatings for protection in harsh environments.
Can I use any hydraulic fluid with your cylinders?
It's best to use fluids recommended by the manufacturer to avoid compatibility issues. Common options include mineral oils, synthetic fluids, or water-glycol mixtures, depending on the application.
How do I install a hydraulic cylinder correctly?
Ensure proper alignment, secure mounting, and connection to the hydraulic system without leaks. Follow the installation manual and use appropriate tools to avoid damage during setup.
