Economical Custom Design 22kg hydraulic Forklift Tilt Cylinder 18.1MPa

A tilt cylinder in a forklift is a hydraulic component that enables the mast and forks tilting motion. It allows the operator to adjust the angle of the forks to accommodate different load-handling requirements. 

Here are some key points about the tilt cylinder in a forklift:

1. Function: The tilt cylinder controls the tilting movement of the mast and forks. It allows the operator to tilt the forks forward or backward, enabling efficient lifting, transporting, and depositing of loads.

2. Hydraulic Power: The tilt cylinder relies on the forklift's hydraulic system for power. When the operator activates the tilt control lever, hydraulic fluid is directed to the tilt cylinder, causing it to extend or retract and initiate the tilting motion.

3. Construction: Forklift tilt cylinders are typically double-acting hydraulic cylinders. They consist of a cylindrical barrel, a piston rod, and seals to prevent fluid leakage. The cylinder is mounted on the forklift's mast and connected to the carriage or tilting mechanism. The piston rod extends and retracts within the cylinder barrel, allowing the mast and forks to tilt.

4. Control: The operator controls the tilt cylinder using a control lever or joystick located in the forklift's operator compartment. By manipulating the control lever, the operator can activate the hydraulic system to extend or retract the tilt cylinder, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the forks.

5. Safety Features: Forklifts are equipped with safety features related to the tilt cylinder operation. These may include tilt speed control, load backrests, and tilt lock mechanisms to prevent unintentional tilting or ensure the forks remain fixed during transport.

6. Maintenance: Regular maintenance and inspection of the tilt cylinder are essential to ensure its proper functioning. This includes checking for leaks, verifying the condition of seals, and maintaining the hydraulic fluid at the recommended level and quality. Any signs of damage or malfunction should be addressed promptly to prevent equipment downtime and ensure safe operation.

How To Maintain Tilt Cylinder Forklift?

1. Regular Inspection: Regularly visually inspect the tilt cylinder to identify any signs of damage, wear, or leaks. Look for fluid leaks around the cylinder, damaged seals, or dents or cracks in the cylinder barrel or piston rod. If any issues are detected, they should be addressed promptly.

2. Lubrication: Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for lubrication of the tilt cylinder. Some cylinders may require periodic greasing or lubrication at specific points. Ensure that the lubricant is compatible with the cylinder's materials and seals.

3. Hydraulic Fluid: Monitor the hydraulic fluid level and quality. Check the liquid status regularly and top it up as needed. Inspect the hydraulic fluid for contamination, such as dirt, debris, or water. If the fluid appears contaminated or has been used for an extended period, consider replacing it according to the manufacturer's guidelines.

4. Seals and Gaskets: Inspect the seals and gaskets of the tilt cylinder for any signs of wear, damage, or leakage. Replace any worn or damaged seals promptly to prevent fluid leaks and ensure the proper functioning of the cylinder.

5. Operation and Safety: Train operators on proper forklift operation techniques, including correctly using the tilt cylinder. Encourage operators to avoid excessive or abrupt tilting motions, as they can strain the cylinder and other components. Also, ensure that the forklift's safety features related to the tilt cylinder, such as tilt speed control or lock mechanisms, function correctly.

6. Professional Maintenance: Schedule regular maintenance by trained technicians or follow the recommended maintenance intervals provided by the forklift manufacturer. Professional care can include more in-depth inspections, testing of hydraulic pressures, and overall system checks to ensure the tilt cylinder is operating as intended.

7. Documentation: Maintain records of maintenance activities performed on the tilt cylinder. This helps track maintenance history, identify recurring issues, and perform maintenance at the recommended intervals.

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
