18.1MPa Single-Acting Hydraulic Cylinder Forklift Short Lifting Cylinder 36kg Chinese Manufacturer

A forklift short-lifting cylinder is a type of hydraulic cylinder used in forklifts or other lifting equipment to provide vertical lifting motion for a specific range or stroke length. It is commonly used in applications where a shorter lifting distance is required.

A short lifting cylinder typically consists of a cylindrical barrel, a piston, and a piston rod. The cylinder barrel is usually made of steel and contains hydraulic fluid. The piston inside the barrel separates the liquid into two chambers. The piston rod extends from one end of the cylinder and is connected to the lifting mechanism of the forklift.

What are some other applications where short-lifting cylinders are commonly used?

1. Automotive Service Equipment: Short lifting cylinders are used in automotive service equipment, such as vehicle lifts or jacks. They provide the necessary lifting force to raise vehicles for maintenance and repair tasks. These cylinders often have a limited stroke length to accommodate the height requirements of automotive service equipment.

2. Material Handling Equipment: Short lifting cylinders find applications in various material handling equipment, including scissor lifts, pallet jacks, and platform lifts. These cylinders enable the vertical movement of the lifting platforms or forks, allowing for efficient loading, unloading, and positioning of materials or goods.

3. Medical and Healthcare Equipment: Short lifting cylinders are utilized in medical and healthcare equipment, such as patient lifts, adjustable beds, and examination tables. They enable controlled vertical movement for lifting patients or adjusting the height and position of medical equipment to accommodate different patient needs.

4. Industrial Machinery: Short lifting cylinders are integrated into various industrial machinery, including assembly line equipment, workstations, and ergonomic lifting devices. They provide lifting and positioning capabilities for specific tasks within these industrial applications.

5. Construction and Building Equipment: Short-lifting cylinders are employed in construction and building equipment, such as small cranes, aerial lifts, and material hoists. These cylinders allow for controlled vertical movement of the lifting booms, platforms, or buckets, enabling efficient construction and material handling operations.

6. Agricultural Machinery: Short lifting cylinders can be found in agricultural machinery, such as small loaders, tractor attachments, or implements. They facilitate the lifting and positioning functions required for farming tasks, such as loading/unloading materials, lifting bales, or adjusting the positions of attachments.

How can the stroke length of short lifting cylinders be customized to suit different application needs?

1. Cylinder Design: The overall design of the cylinder can be modified to achieve the desired stroke length. This includes adjusting the dimensions of the cylinder barrel and piston to accommodate the required travel distance. The stroke length can be customized to meet specific application requirements by altering the cylinder's physical dimensions.

2. Piston Rod Length: The length of the piston rod can be adjusted to control the stroke length. By increasing or decreasing the size of the piston rod, the vertical travel distance of the cylinder can be altered accordingly. This allows for precise customization of the stroke length based on the specific application needs.

3. Cylinder Mounting Position: The mounting position of the cylinder can also affect the effective stroke length. Adjusting the cylinder's mounting position or orientation can modify the vertical travel distance to suit the application. This can be achieved by changing the angle or part of the cylinder to the lifting mechanism or load.

4. Valve Control: The control of hydraulic fluid flow through the cylinder can be adjusted to limit the stroke length. By regulating the flow rate or restricting the fluid flow using valves or flow control devices, the extension and retraction of the cylinder can be controlled to achieve the desired stroke length for the application.

5. Custom Cylinder Manufacturing: In some cases, for unique or specialized applications, custom short-lifting cylinders can be designed and manufactured to meet specific stroke length requirements. This involves working with cylinder manufacturers or hydraulic system experts to develop a cylinder that precisely matches the desired stroke length for the application.

Testing

To further improve product performance, and establish the leadership position of our hydraulic cylinder in the industry, our company and zjimee jointly established a Comprehensive performance laboratory of hydraulic cylinders, hydraulic valves, and hydraulic pumps; the lab is computer-assisted testing, using electro-hydraulic control technology, the test conditions preset by computer, which improves the test accuracy and system versatility, and the experimental data.
The automatic collection is realized through the application of sensors, and the output data, such as the internal leakage and load efficiency of the cylinder or the valve, are directly processed by the computer and converted to standard units (ml/min; %). At the same time, to ensure the working safety of the hydraulic system, the state monitoring function is carried out for key performance parameters, such as "oil temperature monitoring, liquid level monitoring, filter device monitoring," etc. Among them, the hydraulic cylinder test stand can test the performance of "load efficiency" and "internal leakage" by readings. At the same time, it is equipped with a grating ruler measuring instrument, which meets the requirements of all test items of hydraulic cylinder products in the national standard.
