1. Hydraulic cylinders

2. • Hydraulic cylinders also called hydraulic motors are mechanical
instruments that control and facilitates movements of mechanical
systems, they instigates unidirectional force through given
unidirectional commands or strokes. A hydraulic cylinder is used in
different diverse fields and most notably is the engineering fields
used in engineering vehicles. It’s also used in civil and industrial
application to control and run machines.

3. • Hydraulic cylinders are powered by a source of energy
gotten from electric currents, power gotten from hydraulic
fluids such as oil and pneumatic energy gotten from
pressurized gas. They consist of various components that
work systematically to function effectively .The main parts
include a cylinder barrel that encloses are a piston. The
piston is connected to a rod from which facilitates back and
forth movement. The barrel has the rear end closed by the
cap and the front end by the cylinder head from which the
rod connecting to the piston protrudes out. The piston is a
unique piece with rings and seals that slide and divide the
cylinder barrel into two main chambers, the cap end which
is at the bottom and the head end where the rod is located.

4. • Parts of hydraulic cylinders
• Cylinder barrel
• This is where the pressure is held and it’s basically as
seamless tube. The base is internally horned to provide
cylinder stress.
• Cylinder base or cap
• This is the bottom of the hydraulic cylinder and is
where pressure is enclosed. It’s attached to the main
body though different joining methods such as welding
or bolts. The size of the cap is according the level of
stress expected for the hydraulic cylinder to function.

5. • Cylinder head
• This is where pressure is enclosed in the upper end of the hydraulic
cylinder and has a unique sealing to allow the rod to pass through
and has a seal gland so that pressure does not escape where the
rod protrudes out.
• Piston
• This is like the middle part of the hydraulic cylinder and it acts as a
buffer to separate the different pressures from the upper and lower
end. It’s a machine with metal seals and bearings. The different
level of pressure exerted from the lower and upper sides is
responsible for the extension and reaction of the cylinder.
• Piston rod
• This is a cylindrical steel metal that attaches to the piston. It
connects to the machine that work is done though mounted
attachments or machine threads.

6. • Seal gland
• This prevents the leakages of oil and escape of pressure inside the
hydraulic cylinder through the rods outlet in the head of the
cylinder. They are replaceable when worn out and made from
primary and secondary seals buffer elements.
• Other parts include a Cylinder base connection to hold the hydraulic
cylinder in place and Cushions to protect the cylinders from
damage.
• The hydraulic cylinder is the motor side of the system, from which
actions are created and a resulting effect. However the cylinders
have to be instigated to function by the hydraulic pumps. Hydraulic
pumps bring in energy into the cylinder and the energy can be fixed
or regulated. The pump brings in energy in the form of oil to the
chambers in the hydraulic cylinders to move the piston.
