Hydraulic Cylinder Terms
–
A container in which fluid is stored under pressure. Accumulators have
some type of limit in the loading mechanism for maintaining pressure.
– Also called a “bleed
valve,” it is a device that is used to remove pressurized fluid
and air from the system.
– The inside diameter of
a cylinder.
– A cylinder end closure
that completely covers the bore area.
– A cap, plug or cover
for a fluid passage.
– An
adjustable, mechanical or hydraulic device that is used to limit the cylinder
stroke.
– A device which
meters the rate of fluid.
– The cavity of a stuffing
box.
– The cylinder end closure
that cover the differential area between the bore area and the piston
rod area.
– A type of seal consisting
of an elastomer in the shape of a doughnut. O-rings are usually mounted
in a groove for sealant purposes.
– A cylindrical member
forming the internal element of a cylinder assembly that transmits or
receives motion by a connecting rod. Fluid acts with the piston to convert
pressure energy into linear motion.
–
A unit of measurement of pressure.
– A device that turns mechanical
energy into either fixed or variable hydraulic energy.
– The large output piston
of a hydraulic press.
– A device
that directs the rod end discharge to the piston side of a cylinder, increasing
the speed of the cylinder. Regenerative circuits can be incorporated into
a directional control valve as the fourth position.
– A design
that allows the use of two or more cylinders in a series. This design
automatically synchronizes the cylinder position at the end of every stroke.
– A device that connects
the bore area to the head of a cylinder unit.
– Any cylindrical-shaped
part of a hydraulic component that controls the flow passing through the
component in accordance with its movement.
– The linear movement
of a valve spool or cylinder rod that establishes the limits of motion.
– A small chamber
in which packing is compressed around a reciprocating shaft or piston
to form a seal.
