Why do many hydraulic applications require the cylinder to be locked?
Release Time :
2025-02-12
Locking cylinders are used to provide additional safety and control, especially for applications where loads must be held for extended periods of time without continuous hydraulic pressure. For example, in cranes, aerial work platforms or heavy equipment, locking hydraulic cylinders prevent accidental movement or collapse, which could cause injury or damage. The ability of a hydraulic cylinder to lock in place also reduces wear on the hydraulic system, as the pump does not need to constantly maintain pressure to hold the load. Locking hydraulic cylinders are essential in applications where a secure, fixed position is required to ensure safety, reliability and operational efficiency.
Locking hydraulic cylinders are designed to securely hold a position when hydraulic pressure is lost or intentionally removed. They feature an integrated mechanical locking mechanism that typically engages when the cylinder reaches its fully extended or retracted position, preventing the rod from moving even under heavy loads. This locking feature ensures stability and safety in applications where maintaining a fixed position is critical, such as in lifting equipment, construction machinery and industrial presses.
