CHAPTER 2 2.1 INTRODUCTION ABOUT HYDRAULIC CYLINDER Hydraulic cylinder( for different types of application like hydraulic cylinder for tractor trailers, tractor dozer, tractor loader, concrete mixture machine, cement power block machine road construction machine etc.) Definition The hydraulic cylinder is positive displacement reciprocating hydraulic motor, which convert energy of fluid into kinetic energy of moving piston. In other world we can say a hydraulic cylinder is a device which converts the energy of fluid which is in a pressure form in a linear mechanical force and motion. Hydraulic cylinders are often also referred to as hydraulic rams, hydraulic jacks, hydraulic pistons or hydraulic actuators. These different terms are generally synonymous, although a ram is usually a cylinder with a very large piston rod diameter and a jack normally refers to a short stroke single acting hydraulic cylinder. (1) Piston / Ram Specification: - O.D 130mm t 20mm – – I.D - 50mm FIG:-2.1 Piston/Ram Piston is circular in cross sectional. It slides in main shell, and provides guide to piston rod at one end. When fluid under pressure when enter in main shell in one direction, piston get pushing force in other direction. Piston could be made from mild steel, Aluminum, Bronze, gray cost iron etc. depending upon application and fluid used in system. (2) Piston rod
