Manufacturers in many different sectors use hydraulic cylinders with various designs and specifications. To get the cylinder of the right specifications for your application, it is important to pay thorough attention to the design process.

It is fair to say that the design phase is key to effectivefunction, regardless of the industry a hydraulic cylinder is being used in. Paying attention to the hydraulic cylinder design at the outset will save you a lot of money and hassle further along the manufacturing pipeline. Here is how….

Smooth Functionality

There are a lot of different areas in a hydraulic cylinder design that need attention. From the rod assembly to the eye and seals, if the component is well-maintained and offers smooth functionality, it ensures an efficient operation of the equipment.

Time Saving

There are three key areas in hydraulic cylinder design. You need to have a custom designed cylinder bore size for efficient operation, and a pivoted or straight-line mount for the desired movement. This balance can be achieved by choosing a trusted supplier, such as Ranger Caradoc, in order to get the design pinpoint perfect.

If you get the specification right, the operation will be smooth. This simplifies the manufacture process and ensures the efficient use of the cylinder in your final application. This will also save a good deal of time and effort in troubleshooting. It is always more cost effective to invest the effort to get the details right first time, rather than learning from mistakes by trial and error.

Operating Pressure

One of the most important aspects of a hydraulic cylinder design is knowing the operating pressures that you need. Your supplier will make sure that the product they design for you meets your pressure requirements for optimum performance. Generally, operating pressures between 500 and 3000 psi are used, but you can have the cylinder made to withstand greater pressure levels and temperatures if required. Get in touch with our design team for further details.

Using a standard hydraulic cylinder design from the market will not allow you to work with certain pressures. This limits the operational capacity of the component. On the other hand, having the cylinder custom designed to withstand your required pressure will offer more productivity and a greater range of function. Greater efficiency indirectly translates into better sales. In addition to that, since the pressure is exactly what the cylinder is designed to bear, it will not wear out as easily, saving you money on maintenance as well.
