A Hydraulic Cylinder is a mechanical actuator that provides unidirectional force through a unidirectional stroke. It includes a cylinder, cylinder head, rod, piston, wear rings, and seals that are connected to provide the required action. It works on the principle of hydrostatic power where pressure is applied to the fluid in the cylinder, which in turn moves the piston inside the cylinder.
Attributes:
• Withstands the vibrations and forces that are generated during operation
• Provided with a stroke length of 609.6mm to carry the load for a maximum distance in a single stroke
• Provided with high strength and wear resistance
Applications:
A Hydraulic Cylinder is used to convert the hydraulic fluid pressure into force using a piston, cylinder, and rod, ensuring proper operations such as Dipper Handle take up and retracting.
