What Is A Hydraulic Cylinder? What Does It Do?

The working principle of hydraulic cylinder is very simple. It converts liquid pressure into mechanical force to push the piston to carry out linear movement, thus driving the working parts of the machinery. The basic components of a hydraulic cylinder include the cylinder, piston, piston rod and sealing device. These simple structural components cooperate with each other to realize high-precision motion control. Especially in heavy load environment, hydraulic cylinder shows strong force output and stable working performance. Therefore, hydraulic cylinders are widely used in fields that require large torque output, such as lifting equipment, metallurgical machinery and various types of hydraulic machinery.
