Hydraulic Cylinder Producing Process

Step1: Quality Control on Raw Material
We have our own lab in factory, inspect the raw material and do the test. For every batch of material we received, we will ask supplier provide their certificate, and then cut them to do the test again to see if the results match the certification. Also, every batch we received, we will cut them into pieces to check the air bubbles. Once they are all qualified, we will accept it, and all detail information will be recording in our ERP system. We will also pay lot of attention on the salt spray test for chrome rod. Every month, we will cut the material, put them into test machine to see if it reach the requirement. All the result will be recorded at our QC department. If customer need, we can provide it.

Step2: Quality Control on Machining

we start doing components machining from 1988 with 36 years experience now and insist doing 100% inspection. We spend lots of money, invest on auto robots and machines. Now half of the producing line is by robot so that we can ensure our quality be stable good. For every part of the cylinder, we do 3 times inspecting. Firstly, workers will do self inspection. Secondly, we have tour-hour inspection checking the products, 2 times in the morning and 2 times in the afternoon, make sure that every step is good. After the products are all completed, we will do 100% inspection. For thread, for the tolerance, everything, we need double check. Also, we have specific warehouse just for the measuring tools. Every inspector have their own measuring tool and we will check the measuring tools regularly to make sure they are all in good condition, so that the measuring results will be convincing.

Step3: Quality Control on Welding

We are qualified to AWS certification, which is very popular in North American market. First, for the visual test, we will make sure that every components are welded good, look beautiful. And the second, we need to check the penetration. We have more than 15 years experience, we do know what kind of designing angle can make the cylinder welding strong. Once we finish the first article, we will cut it and analyse the welding to see if it is fulfill the groove. And then do the radiographic testing to make sure there is no gap inside. What’s more, we will do the ultrasonic test to check the program for the robot. Now 80% of welding is doing by robot. Once the program confirmed, no 1 can change it unless the welding manager, and they only have 5% right.

Step4: Quality Control on Assembling
For assembling, we have some difference with others. The brand we uses for seals are all those famous brand like Aston, Parker, Hallite. The cylinder we give to our customer has 2 years warranty. For our company, we engrave our part number and manufacturing date for the quality warranty. So no matter for seals or any others, as long as they are parts of cylinder, if it is under 2 years, we will take responsibility for them. And we will do the test for every cylinder like for pressure after we finish assembling.

Step5: Quality Control on Painting
We have our half auto painting line. Right now, we can paint about 1500 cylinders per day, which is about 1 container. Before we do the painting, we will do the wash first and for every cylinder, we will test for hardness, thickness and adhesion to make sure the painting are all good, which will be recorded into OQC report, print out and stick on the box, ship to you with your products.

Step6: Hydraulic Cylinder Packing
For every cylinder, we have the stick to show the detail information like bore size, stroke and working pressure. And we will use individual plastic bag packing. If customer need, we can also use individual carton box packing. We will fasten 1 floor after 1 floor with plat, so customer can only cut what they need and other layer will still be fasten. Moreover, there will be plywood pallet or plywood box for customer choosing. We will also send the loading picture to customer after we ship them to make sure everything is well loaded in China.

Utilizing Hydraulic Cylinders in Conjunction with Alternative Energy Sources

Hydraulic cylinders can indeed be used in conjunction with alternative energy sources. The versatile nature of hydraulic systems allows them to be integrated with various alternative energy technologies to enhance efficiency, control, and power generation. Let’s explore some examples of how hydraulic cylinders can be utilized alongside alternative energy sources:

  1. Hydraulic Energy Storage: Hydraulic cylinders can be employed in energy storage systems that utilize alternative energy sources such as renewable sources (e.g., solar or wind) or waste energy recovery. These systems convert excess energy into hydraulic potential energy by pumping fluid into a high-pressure accumulator. When the energy is needed, the pressurized fluid is released, driving the hydraulic cylinder and generating mechanical power.
  2. Wave and Tidal Energy Conversion: Hydraulic cylinders can be utilized in wave and tidal energy conversion systems. These systems harness the power of ocean waves or tidal currents and convert it into usable energy. Hydraulic cylinders, along with associated pumps and valves, can be used to capture and control the energy from the waves or tides, driving the cylinders and generating mechanical power or producing electricity.
  3. Hydroelectric Power Generation: Hydraulic cylinders play a crucial role in traditional hydroelectric power generation. However, alternative approaches such as small-scale or micro-hydropower systems can also benefit from hydraulic cylinders.

How do hydraulic cylinders generate force and motion using hydraulic fluid?

Hydraulic cylinders generate force and motion by utilizing the principles of fluid mechanics, specifically Pascal’s law, in conjunction with the properties of hydraulic fluid. The process involves the conversion of hydraulic energy into mechanical force and linear motion. Here’s a detailed explanation of how hydraulic cylinders achieve this:

1. Pascal’s Law:

– Hydraulic cylinders operate based on Pascal’s law, which states that when pressure is applied to a fluid in a confined space, it is transmitted equally in all directions. In the context of hydraulic cylinders, this means that when hydraulic fluid is pressurized, the force is evenly distributed throughout the fluid and transmitted to all surfaces in contact with the fluid.

2. Hydraulic Fluid and Pressure:

– Hydraulic systems use a specialized fluid, typically hydraulic oil, as the working medium. This fluid is stored in a reservoir and circulated through the system by a hydraulic pump. The pump pressurizes the fluid, creating hydraulic pressure that can be controlled and directed to various components, including hydraulic cylinders.

3. Cylinder Design and Components:

– Hydraulic cylinders consist of several key components, including a cylindrical barrel, a piston, a piston rod, and various seals. The barrel is a hollow tube that houses the piston and allows for fluid flow. The piston divides the cylinder into two chambers: the rod side and the cap side. The piston rod extends from the piston and provides a connection point for external loads. Seals are used to prevent fluid leakage and maintain hydraulic pressure within the cylinder.

4. Fluid Input and Motion:

– To generate force and motion, hydraulic fluid is directed into one side of the cylinder, creating pressure on the corresponding surface of the piston. This pressure is transmitted through the fluid to the other side of the piston.

5. Force Generation:

– The force generated by a hydraulic cylinder is a result of the pressure applied to a specific surface area of the piston. The force exerted by the hydraulic cylinder can be calculated using the formula: Force = Pressure × Area. The area is determined by the diameter of the piston or the piston rod, depending on which side of the cylinder the fluid is acting upon.

6. Linear Motion:

– As the pressurized hydraulic fluid acts on the piston, it generates a force that moves the piston in a linear direction within the cylinder. This linear motion is transferred to the piston rod, which extends or retracts accordingly. The piston rod can be connected to external components or machinery, allowing the generated force to perform various tasks, such as lifting, pushing, pulling, or controlling mechanisms.

7. Control and Regulation:

– The force and motion generated by hydraulic cylinders can be controlled and regulated by adjusting the flow of hydraulic fluid into the cylinder. By regulating the flow rate, pressure, and direction of the fluid, the speed, force, and direction of the cylinder’s movement can be precisely controlled. This control allows for accurate positioning, smooth operation, and synchronization of multiple cylinders in complex machinery.

8. Return and Recirculation of Fluid:

– After the hydraulic cylinder completes its stroke, the hydraulic fluid on the opposite side of the piston needs to be returned to the reservoir. This is typically achieved through hydraulic valves that control the flow direction, allowing the fluid to return and be recirculated in the system for further use.

In summary, hydraulic cylinders generate force and motion by utilizing the principles of Pascal’s law. Pressurized hydraulic fluid acts on the piston, creating force that moves the piston in a linear direction. This linear motion is transferred to the piston rod, allowing the generated force to perform various tasks. By controlling the flow of hydraulic fluid, the force and motion of hydraulic cylinders can be precisely regulated, contributing to their versatility and wide range of applications in machinery.
