How Hydraulic Cylinders Work

1. Getting Started: Filling the Cylinder

The initial step in the hydraulic cylinder's working mechanism is the introduction of hydraulic fluid. This fluid, usually oil, is pumped into the cylinder, which creates pressure. The presence of hydraulic fluid is essential for the transmission of force.

 Hydraulic Cylinders

Key Points:

Direction: Depending on which side of the piston the fluid is injected into, it will extend or retract the rod.

Volume and Pressure: The volume and pressure of the fluid determine the force applied by the piston.

Valves: Control the flow and direction of the hydraulic fluid, ensuring it reaches the correct chamber.

Reservoir: Typically, hydraulic systems will have a reservoir that holds the fluid before it is pumped into the cylinder, and the fluid returns to the reservoir after use.

The process of filling and pressurizing the cylinder chamber is essential to converting the potential energy in the hydraulic fluid into kinetic energy in the form of mechanical motion.
