Telescopic Hydraulic Cylinder Application And Pressures

 A telescopic hydraulic cylinder can be used in several types of applications that require a linear force to be applied over a long distance. While a rod cylinder could potentially perform the job it may be too long when fully collapsed, where as a telescopic cylinder will typically be significantly shorter when in the same position. The collapsed package size plus long stroke capability of a telescopic cylinder is one of the advantages the design offers over a rod cylinder.

Rod cylinders will apply the same force throughout their stroke, assuming that system pressure remains constant. While it is possible to design a telescopic cylinder that applies a constant force, the cost is significantly increased. Generally a telescopic cylinder will be used in applications where a constant force is not required. Both single acting and double acting telescopic cylinders are used in non-constant force applications. The most common of these in mobile applications are dump trucks and refuse vehicles.

In a typical dump truck or trailer application a single acting telescopic cylinder will be used; however, it is possible to see double acting cylinders in dump truck or trailer applications. Double acting telescopic cylinders are most commonly used in applications that require a horizontal, or near horizontal, force to be applied. Refuse pack or eject vehicles and various ejector trailers are typical applications for the double acting cylinder.

The reason for the different cylinder use per application is due to the ability or restriction on being able to retract the extended cylinder. In a typical dump application, the truck or trailer body will be lifted into the air by the cylinder and the weight of the body will cause the cylinder to retract. In some cases the body of the truck or trailer may go "over center," meaning that the body of the vehicle is now pulling on the cylinder once fully extended. In this type of scenario a single stage double acting or a fully double acting cylinder is required to, at minimum, pull the body back far enough to allow gravity to take over. Horizontal, or near horizontal applications, do not have gravity available to assist in the retracting of the cylinder. As a result, an internal hydraulically created force is required. Overhung loads, such as a heavy tailgate or several feet of the body extending past the body hinge, can also create scenarios that require a double acting cylinder.

At the most simplified level, all cylinders generate force and motion in the same way. A fluid is forced into the vessel and it pushes against a movable surface. The available surface area within the cylinder determines the amount of force generated at a given pressure. Interestingly, the pressure is truly the consequence of applying a force.

40CR ALLOY STEEL SPECIFICATION

  40Cr steel  is a kind of Chinese GB standard alloy steel for engineering and machinery purpose, and one of the most widely used steel grades. For 40Cr material hardness, specifications and equivalent, please see the table below. After quenching and tempering treatment, 40Cr steel has good comprehensive mechanical properties, low temperature impact toughness, low notch sensitivity, good hardenability, and high fatigue strength in cold oil. When water cooling, the complicated shape of the parts is prone to cracks, the cold bending plasticity is medium, and the cutting workability after normalizing is good, but the weldability is poor, should be preheated before welding, and is generally used in the state of quenching and tempering. DATASHEET & SPECIFICATION The tables below list 40Cr alloy steel datasheet and specification including chemical composition, properties and heat treatment, etc. 40CR STEEL CHEMICAL COMPOSITION   Chemical Composition (%) Grade C % Si Mn Cr 40Cr 0.37 – 0.4

Skiving &Roller Burnishing Tube And Honing Tube

Image
Skiving and roller burnishing tube  process provide high quality hydraulic cylinders with final sizing and creates the desired finish pattern on the interior of tubing or cylinder bores. They are used in the manufacturing of  hydraulic cylinders . Compared to honing process, they are 80-90% saving of machine time which reduces tool costs per meter of tube length and produces super finish surface, with a bore tolerance of IT8, thereby reduces the sealing wear making it ideal for pistons. The skiving tool is a multifunctional tool used in the manufacturing of hydraulic cylinders. Skiving is operated like this: Two thin chips are cut at a high feed rate (1-4 mm/rev) while the tool passes through the work piece. This cutting operation determines the finished diameter and tolerance of the hydraulic tube. Surface finish Ra= 4-10 μm (skiving) Skiving has obvious advantages compared with honing: • 80-90% saving of machine time which reduces tool costs per meter of tube length. • Produ

What is Hydraulic Ram Cylinder?

Image
  Hydraulic ram cylinders   are typically used to give vertical motion, including lifting loads in a vertical direction. Such a cylinder is also used to provide the motion in a horizontal direction but needs attention and suitable guides to guide the motion. Single-acting hydraulic cylinders that have no pistons but have large  cylinder rod s are called rams. These rams operate exactly like the conventional single acting hydraulic  cylinders. However, they use large diameter rods in place of pistons and piston seals in their designs. Thus, in place of pistons, rams have high-pressure cap-end ports. They also do not have any low-pressure rod-end ports. Rams are generally cheaper than their conventional single-acting cylinders counterparts.
