Requirements and material section of hydraulic cylinder barrel
The required hydraulic cylinder barrel/honed tube is the very important part of hydraulic cylinder , and sometimes the direct acting component of hydraulic cylinder (when piston rod or plunger is fixed); the barrel, end cover and piston (plunger) form a sealed chamber for containing pressure oil and driving the load for acting; thus the barrel has requirements for strength, rigidity and sealing as below: (1) The cylinder barrel should have sufficient strength to prevent permanent deformation under long-term rated operating pressure and short-term dynamic test pressure. (2) The barrel should have sufficient rigidity to prevent bending caused by lateral force imposed by the piston and reacting force during installation. (3) Reliable seal: The grade of dimensional tolerance and accuracy of geometric tolerance of cylinder inner surface, piston seal and supporting ring should be designed rationally to ensure reliable seal and reduce wear. (4) The honed cylinder barrel to be
