How to choose and process hydraulic cylinder tubes properly?

How to choose, process, and install hydraulic cylinder tubes properly, in order to make the hydraulic line system work more energy-efficient, reliable, and have a longer life? This has become an important issue for hydraulic technologies. As one of the leading China hydraulic tube manufacturer and supplier, Datong Hydraulic specializes in manufacturing hydraulic cylinder tubes and carbon steel honed tube for many years, and has many years experience of hydraulic tube related technology and research.

This article will briefly describe the hydraulic pipe selection, processing, installation, etc., with hope to help the customers in the hydraulic system industry who are in need.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT MATERIAL AND SIZE OF HYDRAULIC TUBES

The hydraulic cylinder tubes should be selected according to the system pressure, flow and application environment. Must pay attention to the strength of the tubing whether is enough, whether the pipe diameter and the wall thickness meet the system requirements, and the inner wall of the selected steel pipe must be smooth, non-corrosive, non-oxidized skin, no clips and other defects. If any of the following problems is found on the hydraulic cylinder tubes, it cannot be used:

  1. the inner and outer walls of the hydraulic pipe have been heavily rusted;
  2. the scratch depth of the pipe body is more than 10% of the wall thickness;
  3. the surface of the pipe body is recessed to more than 20% of the pipe diameter;
  4. the wall thickness of the pipe section is uneven and the ellipticity is obvious.

In applications of medium and high pressure hydraulic systems, the seamless steel tubes are generally used, because they have the advantages as high strength, low price, and easy leak-free connection, it is widely used in hydraulic systems.

— CUTTING OF HYDRAULIC TUBING

Pipes of hydraulic systems with a diameter of less than 50mm can be cut with a wheel cutter. Pipes with a diameter of more than 50mm can be mechanically cut, such as special cutting machine tools. Manual welding and oxygen cutting methods are strictly prohibited. After cutting, the end face of the pipe and the axial center line should be kept as perpendicular as possible. The cutting surface of the pipe must be flat. The pipe must be free from burrs, oxide scales, and slag.

— BENDING OF HYDRAULIC TUBES

The bending of the pipe is preferably carried out on a mechanical or hydraulic pipe bender. General 38mm and below pipelines are cold-formed and bended in a cold state with a bender to avoid oxide scale and affect tube quality. The bends are not allowed to be bent during the production of the bends, and can be replaced by stamping elbows and other pipe fittings because deformations, wall thinning, and oxide scales are easily generated during hot bending.

How to deal with the scratch on the surface of hydraulic cylinder barrel

Image
As we all know,In the process of using the  hydraulic cylinder , the hydraulic cylinder barrel will be damaged,it is common that there will be scratch on the surface of the  honed tube , some customers will ignore these scratches, this to us is not responsible for the cylinder, when a small scratches in the cylinder,we usually take some tips to deal with them. 1.First,  to clean up the oil on the surface of our hydraulic cylinder barrel, then we will use the grinder machine to the surface treatment of the scratched part of our cylinder, at this time we have to grind the surface of the cylinder wall out of swallowtail groove. Although we have cleaned our cylinder at the beginning, at this time we need to clean the cylinder barrel further. At this time, we use anhydrous ethanol to clean the surface of the scratch repair of honed cylinder barrel. 2. We usually use special  repairing adhesive  to solve the scratches on the surface of  hydraulic cylinder barrel ...

Heat Treatments Of Seamless Steel Tube

Image
Heat treatment of  seamless steel tubes  is a process to improve the properties of metal materials and their products. Depending on the use, the material and its workpiece are heated to the appropriate temperature, insulated, and then cooled in different ways to alter the internal structure to achieve the desired performance. Heat treatment of seamless steel tubes is generally divided into annealing, normalizing, quenching, tempering, failure, chemical heat treatment and vacuum heat treatment. By heat treatment, the efficiency or life of the steel can be improved, and in some cases, more expensive special materials can be used instead of cheaper ordinary metal materials. The basic heat treatment methods of seamless steel tubes mainly include the following four forms: 1. Annealing Annealing is a process in which a seamless steel tube is heated to a slightly higher or lower critical temperature for a period of time (ie, heat preservation) and then slowly cooled. Common annealing...

HOW TO REPAIR THE HYDRAULIC CYLINDER ROD

  Hydraulic cylinders can be repaired, but you should never attempt these repairs on your own. Although hydraulic cylinders have a simple design, you must be familiar with them in order to efficiently repair them. When a technician performs hydraulic cylinder repairs, they take the entire mechanism apart and reassemble to find the root cause of the issue. COMMON POINTS OF HYDRAULIC CYLINDER FAILURE There are several common points of hydraulic cylinder failure. These include the piston, cylinder rod , seals, and head. PISTON The pistons in hydraulic cylinders are one of the most common points of failure. This is especially true in light-duty applications. The pistons used in light-duty applications are often made from aluminum, which wears out much more quickly than the steel used in heavy-duty applications. When checking pistons for failure, technicians will often measure the diameter of the piston. The piston’s diameter in relation to the bore directly affects the amount of hydra...
