Methods to solve common faults in rod type oil cylinders

As an important component of modern industrial equipment, the stable operation of the rod type oil cylinder is crucial for the efficiency of the entire production line. However, due to long-term use, improper operation, or inadequate maintenance, the rod type oil cylinder may experience various malfunctions. This article will provide a detailed introduction to common faults and their solutions of rod type oil cylinders.

1、 Common types of faults in rod type oil cylinders

Oil leakage: The main cause of oil leakage is the problem with the sealing ring of the oil cylinder, or the aging and loss of sealing performance caused by long-term use. Oil leakage not only reduces the efficiency of oil cylinders, but may also affect the safety and hygiene of the surrounding environment.

Insensitive movement: The piston movement of the oil cylinder is not sensitive, which may be caused by poor lubrication, such as insufficient or contaminated lubricating oil.

Leakage: Leakage between various components in the oil cylinder is a common problem, which can lead to oil leakage or a decrease in oil pressure, affecting the efficiency and stability of the oil cylinder.

Completely not working: The phenomenon of hydraulic cylinders not working often occurs on newly installed hydraulic cylinders, which may be caused by excessive external resistance, insufficient oil inlet pressure, or internal reasons.

2、 Methods to solve common faults in rod type oil cylinders

Solution to oil leakage problem:

Regularly inspect the sealing ring of the oil cylinder and replace aging or damaged components in a timely manner.

Maintain and clean the oil cylinder to ensure the integrity and cleanliness of the sealing ring.

Strengthen the sealing performance of the oil cylinder by using high-quality sealing materials and sealing structures.

Solution to the problem of insensitive movement:

Regularly inspect and replace with clean lubricating oil to ensure sufficient and clean lubrication.

Check the lubrication system of the oil cylinder to ensure smooth and unobstructed supply of lubricating oil.

For faults caused by poor lubrication, methods such as adding lubricants or improving lubrication conditions can be used to solve them.

Solution to leakage problem:

Check the sealing condition of the oil cylinder, and if there is any leakage, repair or replace the sealing components in a timely manner.

Strengthen the sealing performance of the oil cylinder by using high-quality sealing materials and sealing structures.

For leakage problems caused by aging seals, new seals should be replaced in a timely manner.

The solution to the problem of not working at all:

Check if the resistance of the moving parts of the hydraulic cylinder is too high. If there is jamming, wedging, or pressing against other parts, it should be dealt with in a timely manner.

Check if the oil inlet pressure reaches the specified value. If the pressure is insufficient, check if the hydraulic pump, drive motor, and pressure regulating valve are working properly.

After excluding external factors, further check the internal causes of the hydraulic cylinder, such as the piston rod being stuck and other situations, which should be dealt with in a timely manner.

3、 Maintenance and upkeep of rod type oil cylinder

In order to extend the service life of the rod type oil cylinder and improve its work efficiency, in addition to timely solving common faults, it is also necessary to strengthen its maintenance and upkeep work. Specifically, it includes:

Regularly check the sealing performance and lubrication of the oil cylinder, and replace the sealing components and lubricating oil in a timely manner.

Regularly clean and maintain the oil cylinder to ensure that its interior is clean and free of impurities.

Regularly inspect the fasteners of the oil cylinder for looseness or damage, and promptly address any issues.

Comply with operating procedures and safety regulations to avoid malfunctions and accidents caused by improper operation.

In short, targeted measures and methods need to be taken to solve common faults of the rod type oil cylinder, and its maintenance and upkeep work should be strengthened. Only in this way can the stable operation of the rod type oil cylinder be ensured and its service life be extended.
