Product Selection Differences for Ported Rod Hydraulic Cylinders

When selecting Ported Rod Hydraulic Cylinders, there are several key factors to consider:

  1. Cylinder Bore Size: The bore size of the cylinder will determine the maximum force that can be exerted. Select a bore size that meets your specific force requirements.

  2. Rod Diameter: The diameter of the rod affects the strength and load capacity of the cylinder. A larger rod diameter generally means higher load capacity.

  3. Stroke Length: Consider the required stroke length for your application. Ensure that the cylinder you choose has a stroke length suitable for your needs.

  4. Mounting Style: Different cylinders come with different mounting styles (flange, clevis, trunnion, etc.). Choose a mounting style that integrates well with your system.

  5. Port Configuration: Pay attention to the port configuration of the cylinder. The port type (SAE, NPT, BSPP, etc.) and port size should match your hydraulic system requirements.

  6. Seal Type: Select the appropriate seal type based on the operating conditions of your application, such as temperature, pressure, and fluid compatibility.

  7. Materials: Consider the materials used in the construction of the cylinder - both the tube and rod. Choose materials that offer durability and corrosion resistance for your specific environment.

  8. Pressure Rating: Ensure that the cylinder has a pressure rating that is compatible with your hydraulic system requirements.

  9. Speed and Operating Conditions: Consider the speed at which the cylinder will operate and the environmental conditions it will be exposed to. Choose a cylinder that can withstand the operating conditions.

By carefully considering these factors, you can select the most suitable Ported Rod Hydraulic Cylinder for your specific application.
