HOW TO SIZE A CUSTOM HYDRAULIC CYLINDER

 In order to measure and decide which hydraulic cylinder you need, first of all you would have to visually determine the type of hydraulic cylinder you try to replace. Here are the the main three types of hydraulic cylinders:

    1. Piston rod cylinder – has piston inside, can be single and double acting (ex. Clevis cylinder)
    2. Plunger cylinder – mostly is a single acting cylinder (ex. Snow plow cylinder)
    3. Telescopic cylinder – has multiple stages, can be single and double acting

Main hydraulic cylinder attributes are as follows:

    • Bore diameter
    • Rod diameter
    • Retracted length
    • Extended length
    • Stroke
    • Mounting ends
    • Hose ports
    • Working pressure

HOW TO PROTECT HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS IN HOT AND COLD TEMPERATURES

Hydraulic cylinder  systems are made to handle demanding work conditions and harsh environments. But even the most rugged, high-performing equipment can fail under certain conditions. In work environments involving high and low temperatures, the hydraulic cylinders and components of these powerful systems are especially prone to damage. Whether you operate industrial or mobile hydraulic equipment, these tips will help you understand the effects of high and low temperatures on hydraulic systems and how to protect them from damage. PROTECTING HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS IN EXTREME HEAT All hydraulic systems generate heat during operation. Extremely high temperatures, however, whether it’s from mechanical or environmental sources, heat can do a number on your hydraulic system. High Temperatures and Hydraulic Fluid Viscosity You know how oil thins out once you add it to a hot pan? Well, heat has that same effect on hydraulic fluid and lubricants. In fact, heat is considered a type of hydraulic...
