A hydraulic cylinder is a volumetric hydraulic motor that converts the energy of a working fluid supplied under pressure into a reciprocating motion of the output link. It is used in production, warehouse and garage lifting equipment. Hydraulic cylinders make it possible to create significant traction forces and drive large-sized mechanisms. The pressure of the working fluid in the hydraulic cylinder is created using a built-in or external pump; powerful models — using special injection stations.
Applications of hydraulic cylinders
These positive displacement hydraulic motors are used in:
- lifting and transport equipment;
- metalworking machines and presses;
- scissor lifts;
- lifting platforms and tables;
- compressors.
Hydraulic cylinders are purchased for repair and construction, agricultural, and road equipment, which have driven for movement of attached equipment — buckets, seeders, plows, hydraulic hammers.
Types of hydraulic cylinders
Based on the principle of operation, volumetric hydraulic motors are divided into single-acting and double-acting models.
- One-way positive displacement hydraulic motors use a spring to return the piston. Such models are capable of creating a force of no more than 10 tons.
- The operating principle of double-sided hydraulic cylinders is based on the piston moving in forward and reverse directions under the influence of working fluid pressure. The force generated is up to 100 tons.
Both single- and double-sided motors can be telescopic. Visually, they resemble a small telescope, due to the presence of several cylinders of different diameters inserted into each other. Such models are often used in dump trucks.
