Types of cylinders and their function • Single acting Cylinder-- a cylinder in which fluid dorce is applied to only one side of a piston to move the element in only one direction • Double acting Cyliner-- a cylinder in which fluid force can be applied to the movable element in either direction
Kinds of cylinders • Telescoping Cylinder-- in forklifts-cranes • Double acting double end rod--rod on each end--provide force in both directions • Cushion Cylinder-- keeps item from coming to a hard stop--slowly releases fluid at one end • Stepped Cylinder--provides for a rapid start
Rating system of Cylinders • Book discusses a number system (see text) • Most important is by diameter of cylinder • (piston head) • Also by stroke length • length from pin to pin • mounting pins • One on each end –1) cylinder housing 2) on rod
Identify the schematic symbols of the common type of cylinders
List five service tips for properly maintaining cylinders • External leaks • internal leaks • creeping of a cylinder-moves • sluggish operation • loose mounting • lack of lubrication • burns on rod • blocked air vents
Describe the procedure for bleeding a hydraulic cylinder • Work the system back and forth until air is worked out or bleed the lines out
