Energy Saving Considerations in Hydraulic Cylinder Design and Application

A new hydraulic cylinder has been designed and tested which improves the cylinder operating characteristics. This cylinder uses state of the art seals at pressures of up to 5000 psi that reduce friction by 10 to 25 percent and eliminate “stick-slip”.

Application of this type cylinder can greatly reduce hydraulic system size and cost to the OEM, as well as reduce energy cost to the end user of the equipment.
