Have you ever wondered how getting heavy machinery and equipment from one place to another can be done as easily as it can be done? If that’s a thought that has ever crossed your mind, then you may be surprised to learn it is due to the use of a hydraulic cylinder. These sturdy cylinders are invaluable in a variety of jobs, from construction to factories. How are Hydraulic Cylinders Made? Today we’ll be taking an inside look at how that is accomplished.
In Huachen, machines and skilled workers collaborate to produce quality hydraulic cylinder. The process begins by selecting materials known to be strong — like steel, which will form the body of the cylinder. These materials are carefully screened to make sure they are strong enough.
Entering a hydraulic cylinder factory is thrilling for me. (July 1) A team of workers in neon safety gear is bustling each with a special task that will help build these strong pieces. You can hear machines whirring, and sometimes the clank of metal on metal as parts are fitted together with care.
Fabricating a hydraulic cylinder Fabricating a hydraulic cylinder has many critical steps. The raw materials are first cut and given the shape with specialized tools and machinery. Then these pieces are joined by welding to form the major part of the cylinder. Then hydraulic valves and seals are installed to make it operate smoothly.
Quality is very important at Huachen. Each hydraulic cylinder is fully tested to ensure it operates and lasts as expected. Pressure tests detect leaks, and stress tests measure whether the cylinder can withstand a heavy load. Then, and only then, after these tests, is a cylinder ready to be used in machinery.
As technology constantly evolves, Huachen is now using the latest machines and computer programs to aid the development of how they manufacture hydraulic cylinders.“In the past, I manufactured the ordinary hydraulic cylinder.“We have created a new design for the cans of the hydraulic cylinder,” Huachen concludes. Such developments make the procedure more accurate and productive. They keep the quality, but pump out cylinders faster.
