What are the functions of hydraulic cylinders?

Hydraulic cylinder is a hydraulic actuator that converts hydraulic energy into mechanical energy and performs linear reciprocating motion (or swing motion). It has simple structure and reliable operation. When using it to achieve reciprocating motion, the reduction device can be omitted, and there is no transmission gap, and the movement is stable, so it is widely used in various mechanical hydraulic systems. The output force of the hydraulic cylinder is proportional to the effective area of the piston and the pressure difference on both sides; the oil cylinder is basically composed of a cylinder barrel and a cylinder head, a piston and a piston rod, a sealing device, a buffer device and an exhaust device. Buffers and exhausts are application specific, other devices are essential.

Hydraulic transmission principle: Oil is used as the working medium, and power is transmitted through the pressure inside the oil.
