Key Points to note for Using Hydraulic Cylinders

Hydraulic cylinders play a crucial role in industrial equipment and there are many precautions to take when using them. When installing, ensure that its axis is consistent with the direction of load movement. Excessive deviation can easily cause lateral force, damaging the sealing parts and cylinder barrel. The connecting pipelines should be clean and free of impurities to avoid blocking the throttle holes or scratching the inner walls.

Before operation, check if the oil level is normal. If it is insufficient, add appropriate hydraulic oil in time. Also, choose oil of the corresponding viscosity for different seasons. Avoid overloading during operation. Excessive pressure can cause the seal to fail and the piston rod to bend. Control the movement speed well. If it is too fast, it will cause impact and vibration, affecting the lifespan. Too slow leads to low efficiency.

Daily maintenance is indispensable. Regularly clean the external dust and oil stains and check for any leakage at the sealing points. When not in use for a long time, apply anti-rust grease to protect metal parts such as the piston rod. If abnormal sounds, crawling or other malfunction phenomena occur, the machine should be stopped immediately to investigate the cause. It is strictly forbidden to operate while faulty. Only in this way can the stable and good operation of the hydraulic cylinder be guaranteed, its service life be prolonged, and the efficient operation of the entire hydraulic system be ensured.
