Design Requirements For Hydraulic Cylinder Piston Rods
Standard sizes have been widely used and tested, ensuring availability of spare parts and compatibility with other components.
Avoid arbitrary cutting of piston rod: The piston rod should not be cut arbitrarily according to specific needs. Cutting the piston rod may result in an improper length that is not suitable for the sealing ring or compromises the structural integrity of the hydraulic cylinder. It is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines and specifications regarding the piston rod length.
Consider safety factor: The safety factor of the hydraulic cylinder should not be set too low. The hydraulic cylinder operates under pressure, and an adequate safety factor ensures the cylinder can withstand the working loads without failure or excessive stress. The safety factor should be determined based on the expected operating conditions and the strength and fatigue characteristics of the materials used.
Length of piston rod guide rail: The length of the guide rail for the piston rod should not be too small. It is generally recommended that the length of the guide sleeve is at least 0.6 times the diameter of the piston rod. Sufficient guide rail length ensures stability and proper alignment of the piston rod during operation, reducing the risk of bending or misalignment.
When designing the piston rod and other components of the hydraulic cylinder, it is essential to consider factors such as load requirements, operating conditions, material properties, and manufacturing tolerances. Following recognized standards and guidelines, as well as consulting with experienced engineers or hydraulic system specialists, can help ensure a well-designed and reliable hydraulic cylinder.
