Hydraulic cylinders have proven to be invaluable for various applications over the years.?From the everyday and ordinary machines that utilize hydraulic cylinders to make our lives easier, to the more complicated ones, hydraulic cylinders provide the speed, precision, efficiency, and reliability needed to ensure optimum productivity and performance.

Here are just 5 advantages of hydraulic cylinders.

1. Speed

Unlike electro-mechanical devices which tend to slow down under tremendous weight, hydraulic cylinders remain unaffected by heavy loads making them ideal for high-speed applications.

?

And although some applications get by at slower speeds— stamping machines for example— several other applications require high speeds for machine efficiency.

?

An example where the transference of energy is non-negotiable is in aviation hydraulics which uses hydraulic mechanisms to operate their control panels. Failure to disengage the landing gear when needed could be the difference between a safe landing or a catastrophic event.

High-speed hydraulics also plays a role in the brakes of a car which activates upon pressing the pedal, changing the pressure of the fluid inside a pipe.

2. Accuracy and Precision

The combination of hydraulic oil and servo valves increases the accuracy of hydraulic cylinders.

A Hydraulic Servo valve metres the outpour of oil in reaction to an electrical command to control pressure, position, velocity, or force in a device or machine thereby improving its precision. The accuracy of the hydraulics cylinder gives way to another advantage — increased reliability.

Hydraulic machine operators can rest assured that the job (whatever it may be) is done effectively each time. Further to that, each part of a hydraulics cylinder is meticulously crafted to ensure longevity.?Operators are confident that the pistons, cylinder barrels, and piston rods are manufactured at the highest safety standards. When properly taken care of, hydraulics can be trusted to last for years.

3. Power and Efficiency

Power is one of the major advantages of hydraulic cylinders which though small in size are capable of exerting remarkable force.

The mining, construction, and agriculture industries that heavily depend on robust machinery to transport heavy loads, drive machinery through layers of rock, and push and pull heavy components, reap tremendous rewards from hydraulic cylinders. They oftentimes discreetly contribute to high levels of efficiency and productivity.

The engineering of how hydraulic cylinders are capable of producing the power they need to lies in compressed liquids that have the potential of creating a force 10 times greater than the amount of pressure that was originally applied.?This results in the capacity to move hefty weights with little force applied. Hydraulics moves large amounts of weight at a fast pace when water is condensed within a machine under forces much less substantial than the rate at which it comes out.

4. Low Requirements and ease of control

Unlike their pneumatic and electro-mechanical counterparts, hydraulic cylinders conserve more energy.

As previously mentioned, little power is required to operate these mechanisms, resulting in increased energy conservation. Therefore, businesses with hydraulic cylinders can channel their energy savings into other areas to improve business operations.

Hydraulics mechanics are designed with ease of use in mind. At the push of a button, operators should be able to control the machine either from a remote or a control panel. Starting, stopping, lowering, raising, or accelerating should all be easy to do with just the push of a button.

A good example of how hydraulic cylinders ensure ease of use is found in elevators. Anyone who has ever enjoyed the convenience of using an elevator to avoid climbing flights of stairs can attest to how easy it is to go from one floor to another with a push of a few buttons.

5. Resistance to Harsh Conditions

?

Even in the harshest of weather conditions, hydraulic cylinders perform well making them highly reliable.

Applications benefit from the hydraulic cylinder's ability to generate much force from little power, these parts should be your go-to choice.

Conclusion

In a nutshell, hydraulic cylinders efficiently produce results no matter the industry or application they’re used. We owe our safety to the speed at which energy is transferred to the necessary mechanisms in the aerodynamic hydraulics and the brake pads in a vehicle.

And, when factories rely on 24/7 productivity, hydraulic cylinders are found to go above and beyond what’s required of them.

Their reliability to perform well under extreme weather conditions makes them the premier choice for businesses that can’t afford low or halted production.?
