How to select a hydraulic cylinder?

Considering the impedance loss of the seal ring and the supporting impedance loss of the cylinder with the piston, the actual force of the cylinder is 94%-95% of the rated value. When the cylinder needs to work strictly and continuously, it is recommended to choose a cylinder whose tonnage is higher than the load itself, usually calculated by 70%-80% of the cylinder.

1. Selection of force

When the cylinder needs to work strictly and continuously, it is recommended to choose a cylinder whose tonnage is higher than the load itself, usually calculated by 70%-80% of the cylinder.

2. Selection of stroke

If the space is large enough, choose a cylinder whose stroke is longer than the practical need to improve the expandable capacity of the system.

3. Selection of type

There are basically two types of cylinders: single-acting cylinders(spring returning or load returning) and double-acting cylinders. What purpose do you need cylinders to achieve? To pull or lift or both? The single-acting cylinders can just lift, but double-acting cylinders can both lift and pull.

4. Selection of quantity

Do you need several cylinders to work synchronously or not?
