Telescopic Hydraulic Cylinder

Telescopic hydraulic cylinder specifications vary widely as they are often custom-built for specific applications, but key parameters typically include:

Key Technical Specifications

Cylinder Type

Single-acting (uses gravity or external force for retraction) or double-acting (uses hydraulic pressure for both extension and retraction).

Number of Stages

The number of nested tubes, typically ranging from 2 to 6 stages, which determines the ratio of extended to retracted length.

Piston Rod

A sturdy shaft attached to the piston that extends out from one end of the cylinder, transmitting the linear force to the external load.

Stroke Length

The total extended distance the cylinder travels, which can range from as short as 100mm to over 18m (18,000 mm) for specialized applications.

Bore Diameter

The internal diameter of the largest and subsequent tubes/sleeves (e.g., Ø25mm to Ø400mm or more), which, along with pressure, determines the lifting force.

Working/Operating Pressure

The typical hydraulic pressure the cylinder is designed to handle, commonly ranging from 10-20 Mpa (around 100-200 bar, or 2,000-3,000 psi) up to 450 bar for high-pressure systems.

Collapsed Length

The minimum retracted length, which is significantly shorter than the extended length (often 20% to 40% of the total stroke) for compact installation.

Mounting Options

How the cylinder is attached to the machinery (e.g., Clevis mounts, Trunnion mounts, Front Flange, Rear Flange).

Load Capacity/Tonnage

The maximum weight or force the cylinder is rated to lift, which can be anywhere from a few tons to over 1000 tons for heavy industry.

Material

The materials used for the body, sleeves, and plunger, typically high-strength carbon steel or stainless steel.

Seal Material/Brand

High-performance seals (e.g., from Parker, Hallite, Freudenberg) made of materials like Nitrile or Viton, suitable for specified temperature ranges and fluid media.

Operating Temperature Range

The environmental temperatures the cylinder can safely function within (e.g., -40°F to +235°F or -40°C to +113°C).
