Description
There are two main types of hydraulic cylinder construction that are used in the industry which are tie rods and body cylinders that are welded. In addition, the other kinds of cylinder designs include telescopic, plunger differential, re-phasing and double-acting cylinders, and single-acting hydraulics.
Hydraulic cylinders typically double-act and can be applied to one side of the piston in order to allow movement. Single-acting cylinders may be employed in situations where the load’s weight is used to bring the cylinder back to its closed position.
Hydraulic cylinders allow for greater flexibility in structure and design in the transfer of forces between two points. Different sizes of cylinders make it possible to design an apparatus that can pull up, push or lift weights as well as bends and corners that can be integrated into the system design in the event of space limitations.
