CHigh Pressure Hydraulic Cylinders
What are high pressure hydraulic cylinders?
High pressure hydraulic cylinders are used where strong push or pull force is required within a system. These cylinders are essentially linear actuators that generate force. Hydraulic cylinders can be used to lift beds & winches, operate presses, and push / support / press heavy loads. They are used in manufacturing, process handling, recycling & agricultural machinery, and industries (such as mining) where electrical or air tools can cause sparking. Hydraulic cylinders with a single action mechanism can only move in one direction, whereas cylinders with a double action mechanism can move along any plane of motion (both vertical & horizontal). High pressure hydraulic cylinders feature a tube with finished interiors and hard chrome plated piston rods to avoid pitting & scoring. These cylinders have seals and wipers that are attached to the end caps for eliminating contaminants and preventing leakage.
High pressure hydraulic cylinders are ideal for continuous lifting, holding, pushing, pulling and bending of hydraulic fluids. Raptor Supplies offers a wide variety of these cylinders from brands like Enerpac, ESCO, OTC and Westward. These hydraulic cylinders feature aluminium / steel / nickel plated steel construction for structural rigidity and resistance against corrosion & harmful UV radiations. BRP Series pull hydraulic cylinders provide plunger blow out protection to resist over-extension and are equipped with a plunger wiper to reduce contamination. These cylinders come with CR400 couplers & dust caps for added safety, are capable of being operated at pressures up to 700 bar and feature a maximum load capacity of 300 tons.
Uses
High pressure hydraulic cylinders are suitable for systems that have bends or tilted pipes which require additional linear force. These cylinders can also be used in mobile applications like excavators, dump trucks, loaders, graders, backhoes & dozers. When it comes to heavy machinery, hydraulic cylinders can help extend their control or use.
Features
- High pressure hydraulic cylinders are available in single & double acting configurations.
- They have aluminium, steel or nickel plated steel construction.
- These hydraulic cylinders feature a welded design for reliability.
- The saddles are hardened, which prevents the piston from jamming in the top bearing.
- The heavy duty return springs enable fast piston retraction.
- Port connections are available on all cylinders.
- These hydraulic cylinders have a simple design to enable easy installation.
- Selected models feature a lightweight, low profile spring return mechanism for use in confined spaces.
- They have a piston wiper that reduces contamination, hence extending cylinder life.
Working Mechanism
- In single acting cylinders, only one side of the piston provides fluid with a certain pressure. A single acting cylinder controls movement by fluid force in one direction, and the return process depends on external forces such as spring force or gravity.
- In double acting cylinders, both sides of the piston are supplied with fluid of certain working pressure. Under the influence of fluid force on both sides, the hydraulic cylinder or pneumatic cylinder can move in the positive direction or the reverse direction.
Standards and Approvals
High pressure hydraulic cylinders are constructed according to ASME & ISO standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
What things should one consider when choosing a high pressure hydraulic cylinder?
- Capacity - the force of the cylinder, measured in tonnes.
- Stroke - the length that the piston rod can travel in and out, measured in millimetres.
- Operating pressure - the maximum operating pressure, measure in psi or bar.
- Single / double acting mechanism - single acting cylinders produce force in one direction while double acting cylinders produce force in both extending and retracting directions.
What is the difference between single acting and double acting hydraulic cylinders?
Single acting cylinders only extend via pressure from a pump and retract by the weight of the load or using an inbuilt spring. Double acting cylinders use hydraulic power to both extend and retract.
A simple way to distinguish between them is by looking at the number of ports. Single acting cylinders have one port for the connection of hydraulic cylinders, whereas double acting cylinders have 2 ports. The first port is where the advance (extend) hydraulic hose fittings attach and the second is where the retract hydraulic hose fittings attach.
Which one should I choose - a single or double acting hydraulic cylinder?
- When looking for a device to move the load in both directions, double acting cylinders are ideal. Unlike single acting air cylinders, double acting cylinders can extend and retract without the need for a spring.
- Instead of applying pressurised air into one port, double acting cylinders have two ports where air can enter in and move out. But if you are looking to utilise your machine in linear motion and perform movements such as clamping, positioning & punching, then single acting cylinders might be better.
- Single acting cylinders are mainly used in industrial applications where force is needed in one direction, for example, ejecting parts / items off conveyor belts.
- Double acting cylinders are usually faster, stronger and more efficient than single acting cylinders. Applications that require speed and force would require double acting cylinders whereas light assembly work can be deployed by single acting cylinders.
Can you use a double acting hydraulic cylinder as single acting?
Yes, you can use a double acting cylinder as a single acting cylinder.
