Hydraulic systems play a vital role in agriculture, and innovative features in hydraulic cylinders can significantly enhance performance and reliability. This custom hydraulic cylinder incorporates advanced features like load-holding valve and optimized fluid flow mechanisms, making it an ideal choice for various agricultural applications.
Applications in Agriculture:
The swivel ball joint is particularly valuable in equipment such as:
- Tillage and Plowing Equipment
- Loader Arms and Buckets
- Sprayers and Boom Arms
- Trailers and Tippers
- Harvesting Equipment
Rod-End Swivel Ball Joint
A swivel ball joint at the rod end brings versatility, durability, and enhanced performance to hydraulic cylinders in demanding agricultural environments. This feature allows the cylinder to:
- Accommodate Angular Misalignments: Reduce stress on components during operation.
- Enhance Durability: Minimize wear and tear for a longer service life.
- Improve Smoothness: Ensure consistent and reliable operation.
Load Holding Valve at Base End
The load-holding valve with pilot assist is designed to manage overrunning loads, offering precise control and safety. Key features include:
- Check Valve: Allows free flow during the extended condition.
- Pilot-Assisted Relief Valve: Controls flow during retraction for smooth operation.
- Counterbalance Valve Settings:
- Should be set at least 1.3 times the maximum load-induced pressure.
- Turn adjustment clockwise to decrease setting and release the load.
- Full clockwise setting is less than 200 psi (14 bar).
Optimized Fluid Flow with Feeder Tubes
The hydraulic cylinder is equipped with feeder tubes on both ends, ensuring improved fluid flow for consistent performance.
- Port Connection: Flushed port design for better integration with the hydraulic system.
