Hydraulic cylinder: types and operating

Taop Parts offers hydraulic cylinders recovered from original machines, which have been tested and are ready to be installed.

Hydraulic cylinders are important components in earth-moving machines, such as excavators and wheel loaders, as they transform hydraulic force into linear movement, by facilitating the lifting and moving of heavy materials.

The cylinder works thanks to the hydraulic system, consisting of pumps, pipes and hydraulic fluid.

A hydraulic cylinder is a tube closed at one end with a rod that moves inside. Inside the cylinder we find a piston. The piston separates the internal side of the cylinder from the external one. The fluid moves to both sides of the cylinder to extend or retract the rod.

Hydraulic cylinders can push, pull and lift different types of loads with different weights and sizes.

Axial pistones Hydraulic Pump for Komatsu PC340-7 Wheel Loader: Video repairing and assemble it

The hydraulic pump is a device that transforms mechanical power into hydraulic energy providing the fluid to the components of the system.

Hydraulic pump operation

The operation of a pump has two basic characteristics. The first one, is the mechanical action of rotation that creates the vacuum in the suction area and allows the atmospheric pressure to make the oil rise from the tank to the suction pipe; the second one is based on the fact that the pump, carrying the fluid (flow), does not generate pressure, so as the oil meets the resistance to move a load, there is an increase of pressure in the system.
