Hydraulic Cylinders-Boom-Arm-Bucket Cylinder

Types Of Hydraulic Cylinders:

• Boom cylinders – Raise and lower the boom arm
• Arm/stick cylinders – Extend and retract the stick/digging arm
• Bucket cylinders – Open and close the bucket grab/jaws
• Swing cylinders – Rotate the cab during swinging motions
• Tool cylinders – Operate hydraulic attachments

Materials Of GT Hydraulic Cylinder:

• Housing/barrel – Hardened carbon steel for strength and corrosion resistance
• Piston/rod – Forged steel or stainless for wear and seals
• Seals – Nitrile rubber or polyurethane to prevent leaks under pressure
• Rod glands – Plastic or metal protects seals from debris ingress

Benefits Of Hydraulic Cylinders:

• Provide powerful mechanical advantage to operate heavy attachments
• Smooth, proportional movementcontrolled through hydraulic flow/pressure
• Act quickly and hold positions even under load
• Operate reliably in harsh environments dirt, moisture, vibration, impacts
• Easy to repair by replacing individual worn cylinders instead of complex mechanical systems
• Hydraulic power is modular and scalable to machine size/duty cycles
