Hydraulic cylinders are a form of mechanical actuators which are operated through an energy source. They are also known as hydraulic motors. These cylinders are used to exert a unidirectional force through a unidirectional stroke. These devices are largely used in manufacturing and developing industries. They work on a simple principle but can exert heavy force to carry out high end tasks. Hydraulic cylinders operate by using pressurized fluid. Generally, a hydraulic cylinder consists of three main parts; i.e. the barrel where the fluid is going to be deposited, a piston that acts as a type of seal for creating the pressure desired by moving it back and forth, as well as a piston rod that helps to extract work output of an hydraulic cylinder. Hydraulic cylinders operate based on the Pascal’s Law according to which any changes in the pressure level of some enclosed incompressible fluid gets conveyed undiminished to each and every part of a fluid as well as to the surface of its container. This enormous force that is transmitted by a fluid is extracted and then used for lifting heavy materials. The basic model of hydraulic cylinder can serve a multitude of purposes when it is attached to different types of heavy equipments. The wide ranges of tasks that can be handled by using hydraulic cylinders include lifting of heavy materials, crushing heavy objects and demolishing buildings. Hydraulic cylinders are preferred in all places where applications requiring huge power are carried out. There are numerous different types of hydraulic cylinders that are available in the industrial market. Depending on their designs, these cylinders can be categorized into the tie rod cylinders and welded body cylinders. Since using welded body cylinders have several advantages over tie rod cylinders, they are used more frequently. Not only they fit well with any kind of machinery but they can also be easily subjected to a wide variety of customizations. The hydraulic equipments like lift-gates, bulldozers, forklift trucks, cranes and oil rigs all make use of the welded body cylinders. Other types of hydraulic cylinders include Telescopic cylinders, Plunger cylinders and Differential cylinders. Based on the different industrial requirements, one or a combination of these is used to carry out different functions. However, no matter for what purpose or what type of hydraulic cylinder is used, the basic mode of operation will be the same for each and every variant of these cylinders. Invensys Engineers is the manufacturers of hydraulic cylinders in India. Their hydraulic cylinders are used for many industrial applications.
