THE CRITERIA IN HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS DESIGN
Designing hydraulic cylinders requires many factors involved in the process. Ignoring any of these critical steps in the design process could increase the possibility of a design mistake. Hydraulic cylinders have many different working conditions, and that affects the design criteria. For example, the cylinders used in the mining & construction machines versus forestry have other design criteria in terms of materials used. There are a few main variables that should be taken into account while designing a hydraulic cylinder. What to consider when specifying hydraulic cylinders? WORKING CONDITIONS In general, it’s essential to consider the working conditions – where and what – the hydraulic cylinder is designed to do and what kind of load it has to endure. For example, challenging working conditions could be a corrosive environment, falling rocks in the mining industry, or high working cycles causing welding fatigue and shortening seal life span. For example...
