48.7kg 18.1MPa Single Acting Short Hydraulic Lifting Cylinder for Forklift

Here are some key points about short-lifting cylinders for forklifts:

1. Application: Short-lifting cylinders are a vital component of the hydraulic system in a forklift. They provide the necessary lifting force to raise and lower the mast assembly, which consists of the inner and outer mast sections. The cylinders enable the vertical movement of the forks, allowing for the lifting and transportation of loads.

2. Stroke Length: The stroke length of a short lifting cylinder for a forklift is designed to match the vertical travel distance required for the specific forklift model. The stroke length determines the maximum height at the mast assembly, and forks can be raised or lowered.

3. Construction: Short-lifting forklift cylinders typically consist of a cylinder barrel, piston, piston rod, and seals. The cylinder barrel is generally steel to withstand hydraulic pressure and loads. The piston divides the cylinder barrel into two chambers, allowing for the controlled extension and retraction of the piston rod. Seals ensure proper sealing and prevent leakage of hydraulic fluid.

4. Hydraulic Function: The short-lifting cylinder operates based on hydraulic principles. When hydraulic pressure is applied to one side of the piston, it creates a force that moves the piston and extends the piston rod, lifting the mast assembly and forks. To lower the mast assembly and forks, hydraulic pressure is applied to the other side of the piston, retracting the piston rod.

5. Safety Features: Short lifting cylinders for forklifts often incorporate safety features such as pressure relief valves or load-holding valves. These valves ensure that the mast assembly and forks remain in position even if there is a loss of hydraulic pressure or a sudden load shift, enhancing overall safety during operations.

The importance of Forklift Short lifting cylinder

1. Lifting and Positioning Loads: The primary function of the short lifting cylinder is to provide the lifting force necessary for raising and lowering the mast assembly and forklift. This enables the forklift to lift and transport various loads, making it essential for material handling operations.

2. Precise Vertical Movement: The short lifting cylinder allows for controlled and detailed vertical movement of the mast assembly and forks. This precision is vital for accurately positioning loads at different heights, such as stacking pallets or placing items on shelves. The ability to lift accurately enhances productivity and reduces the risk of damage or accidents.

3. Load Capacity and Stability: Short lifting cylinders are designed to handle specific load capacities based on the forklift's specifications. They contribute to the overall stability of the forklift during lifting operations. Properly functioning cylinders ensure evenly distributed load, preventing imbalance and potential tipping hazards.

4. Height Adjustability: The short lifting cylinder's stroke length determines the forklift's maximum lifting height. This adjustability allows for customization based on different application requirements. Forklifts with adjustable stroke lengths can adapt to various working environments, accommodating different sizes of racks, shelving, or loading docks.

5. Safety Considerations: Forklift short-lifting cylinders often incorporate safety features such as pressure relief valves or load-holding valves. These valves help maintain the lifted load in the event of hydraulic system failure or unexpected load shifts. The inclusion of safety mechanisms ensures operator and bystander safety during lifting operations.

6. Efficiency and Productivity: The reliable operation of the short lifting cylinder is essential for maintaining efficiency and productivity in material handling tasks. A properly functioning cylinder enables smooth and swift lifting and lowering of loads, minimizing downtime and optimizing workflow.

7. Integration with Hydraulic System: The short lifting cylinder is an integral part of the hydraulic system in a forklift. It works with other hydraulic components, such as pumps, valves, and hoses, to provide hydraulic power for lifting operations. The smooth coordination of these components ensures efficient and practical functionality of the forklift.

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.
