Cranes powered by hydraulic cylinders are lightweight, easy-to-operate, and cost-effective options for construction equipment, material handling, and other industrial lifting operations. Heavy-duty hydraulic cylinders allow cranes to lift and move weighty loads. Additionally, compared to conventional cranes, hydraulic cranes take up less space, making them an ideal solution for applications in industrial facilities, smaller areas, …
Hydraulic cylinder seals are designed to keep contaminations from entering a hydraulic cylinder and stop hydraulic fluid from leaking. Many hydraulic cylinder seal configurations are available, including piston seals, rod seals, v-ring seals, and many others. Each seal is located at various points throughout the cylinder and serves specific functions. No matter their intended purpose, …
A Breakdown of Hydraulic Cylinder Components A hydraulic cylinder is primarily built inside a barrel fabricated from a seamless steel tube. The barrel is the main body of the hydraulic cylinder and holds the pressure of the cylinder inside and houses components that make up the hydraulic cylinder. Cylinder Base The cylinder base encloses the barrel …
Hydraulic hoses are vital to any cylinder application, whether construction, agriculture, oil and gas, or dump trucks. Even though hoses have a rugged construction, the constant exposure to harsh work and environmental conditions makes them prone to kinking, bending, abrasion, and tears. This damage can eventually cause: Hydraulic fluid contamination System leaks Permanent damage to …
Despite your best efforts to prevent hydraulic cylinder failure, a time may come when your cylinders stop working dependably. Signs of a failing hydraulic cylinder include a loss in performance, leaking, jerking movements, unusual noises or clangs, fluid contamination, excessive heat, and more. The best way to address these issues is through repairing, rebuilding, or …
