Hydraulic cylinders

Hydraulic cylinders convert hydrostatic energy into mechanical energy. They are considered as motors or as actuators capable of producing work. Hydraulic cylinders differ from hydraulic motors, however, as cylinders carry out a linear (translatory) movement instead of a rotary movement. The force F in Newton of a hydraulic cylinder is directly related to the maximum operating pressure p in bar and the effective area of the piston A in square centimeters.

In hydraulic cylinders, two functional types can be distinguished: double-acting and single-acting cylinders. Single-acting cylinders have one effective area, located on the bottom side, which can exert force in one direction only. The single or double-acting differential cylinder is generally used in mobile and industrial hydraulic systems. The most common design principles of the hydraulic differential cylinder are tie rod, mill type and roundline cylinder design.
