What Are the Components of a Hydraulic Cylinder?

1. Cylinder base: As the core structural component of the hydraulic cylinder, the cylinder base not only carries the movement of the piston, but also has built-in fluid inlet and outlet and interfaces connected to other hydraulic pipelines, ensuring the smooth transmission of hydraulic energy.

2. Power piston: The power piston is the core driving element in the hydraulic cylinder. It is firmly installed in the cylinder base and generates linear motion through the pressure of hydraulic oil, thereby driving external loads or performing specific mechanical work.

3. Guide and seal assembly: This assembly integrates the three functions of support, guide and seal, aiming to ensure that the piston slides smoothly along the predetermined trajectory in the cylinder, while effectively preventing the leakage of hydraulic oil, ensuring the sealing and operating efficiency of the system.

4. Transmission push rod: The transmission push rod serves as a bridge connecting the piston and the actuator, converting the linear motion of the piston into thrust or pull on the actuator, driving it to complete the preset work task.

5. External frame and auxiliary equipment: This part includes various pipe fittings, mounting brackets, accessories, etc., which together constitute the installation basis of the hydraulic cylinder and provide connection interfaces with other parts of the hydraulic system, ensuring the stable installation and smooth operation of the hydraulic cylinder.

6. Hydraulic power and control system: This system consists of key components such as hydraulic pumps, complex hydraulic networks, oil storage containers, filters, and a series of control valves. It is responsible for providing stable and controllable pressure and flow for the hydraulic cylinder, and realizing precise control of the movement state of the hydraulic cylinder. This system is the basis and guarantee for the hydraulic cylinder to work efficiently and reliably.
