Specification

Hydraulic cylinder seal kit Describe

The hydraulic cylinder itself is usually composed of aluminum, steel, iron or bronze. It uses water or oil as the pressurized hydraulic fluid that produces energy. They power machinery that has very high force or multiple moving parts that operate simultaneously. Seals are located in the piston, on the cylinder head and on the rod. The piston seal prevents pressurized hydraulic fluid from flowing across the piston. It is usually made of an elastomeric material. The seal located on the cylinder head prevents pressurized oil from leaking past the interface between the rod and the head, while the rod seal prevents leaking of hydraulic fluid to the outside and provides a degree of lubrication. Hydraulic cylinders also use wear rings, a type of seal that prevents any metal-to-metal contact, as well as rod wipers, which prevent contaminants from entering the cylinder when the extended rod reacts back into the cylinder. Each seal is equally as important to maintain an efficient and safely operating hydraulic cylinder. Without seals, they would completely fail, causing the machinery to become unusable. While they last for long periods of time, regular maintenance checks to ensure the seals have not worn or aged will prevent seal failure.

Features

Hydraulic cylinders get their power from pressurized hydraulic fluid, which is typically oil. The hydraulic cylinder consists of a cylinder barrel, in which a piston connected to a piston rod moves back and forth. The barrel is closed on one end by the cylinder bottom (also called the cap) and the other end by the cylinder head (also called the gland) where the piston rod comes out of the cylinder. The piston has sliding rings and seals. The piston divides the inside of the cylinder into two chambers, the bottom chamber (cap end) and the piston rod side chamber (rod end/head-end).

Flanges, trunnions, clevises, and lugs are common cylinder mounting options. The piston rod also has mounting attachments to connect the cylinder to the object or machine component that it is pushing or pulling.

A hydraulic cylinder is the actuator or "motor" side of this system. The "generator" side of the hydraulic system is the hydraulic pump which delivers a fixed or regulated flow of oil to the hydraulic cylinder, to move the piston. There are three types of pump widely used: hydraulic hand pump, hydraulic air pump, and hydraulic electric pump.
