Hydraulic cylinders are the core components of many heavy machinery used in industrial or manufacturing facilities. The hydraulic cylinder provides a directional force to the object by pushing or pulling the object. The pressurized fluid fills the cylindrical portion of the hydraulic cylinder. This fluid forces a rod out of the bottom of the cylinder, creating the power needed to produce the movement. In this paper, Zhongyou Heavy Industry brings three measures to prevent hydraulic cylinder failure.
Since the hydraulic cylinder is a component that is easy to move continuously, there is always the possibility of hydraulic cylinder failure. You can proactively protect hydraulic cylinders from some of the more common causes behind hydraulic cylinder failure, thereby avoiding future production downtime and expensive repairs.
1. maintenance hydraulic seal:
If the hydraulic cylinder is to work properly, a constant supply of pressurized fluid must be maintained in the hydraulic cylinder. The special seal helps to establish a leak-proof connection between the cylinder and the movable rod. If the seals in the hydraulic cylinder become damaged, fluid may leak out of the cylinder and cause power loss.
Taking some time to properly maintain hydraulic seals can easily avoid seal leakage. Schedule a routine visual inspection of all seals in the hydraulic system. Check for signs of hardening, cracking and overall wear.
Be careful when storing the hydraulic seal to ensure that the hydraulic seal is not damaged before installation. Care should be taken when replacing the seal, because improper installation can weaken the integrity of the seal and cause hydraulic oil to leak over time.
2. to prevent liquid contamination:
Sufficient hydraulic oil contained in each cylinder is not sufficient to maintain maximum performance. The fluid also needs to be clean and free of contaminants. Contaminated liquids have the potential to cause severe damage to the mechanical systems of heavy machinery.
Moisture is one of the most common types of hydraulic fluid contamination found in industrial environments. Store your liquid reserves in a sealed bucket, protected from direct sunlight or temperature fluctuations. This will prevent a phenomenon called respiration, which is a process in which water seeps into the bucket as it expands and contracts.
Open the fluid container only in a clean environment and flush the hydraulic system thoroughly before adding new fluid. Taking these precautions should help avoid hydraulic oil contamination and potential problems from hydraulic oil contamination.
3. keep the rod straight:
Alignment problems between the hydraulic cylinder and the rod pulled from the cylinder by the pressurized fluid can cause the cylinder to fail over time. If the weight of the load moved by the rod is greater than the force generated by the pressurized fluid in the cylinder, the rod may bend.
The bent rod will scratch the inner wall of the cylinder, making the cylinder more susceptible to corrosion. There is also a risk of the rod seal being torn or damaged when the rod is bent.
The straightness of the hydraulic rod shall be tested periodically with a dial gauge. Any piston rod that exceeds the acceptable straightness parameters must be repaired with a press or replaced with a new piston rod to maintain the integrity of the hydraulic cylinder.
Over time, the quality and condition of hydraulic cylinders installed in industrial machinery will directly affect the performance of the machinery. Cylinder failure should be avoided at all costs. You can actively prevent cylinder failure by maintaining a seal, preventing fluid contamination and always ensuring the straightness of the rod.
