Cylinders

Cylinders for industrial machines

As a leading player in mechanical transmissions and high-pressure hydraulics since the 1950s, we are Bengtssons Maskin proud to offer customers in the Nordics a wide range of cylinders for industrial machines. But what is a cylinder, and how does the choice of cylinder affect the machine's performance and areas of use? In this article we give you a deeper understanding of cylinders and how you can optimize your choice to achieve the best possible results.

What is a cylinder?

A cylinder is a fundamental component in hydraulics and pneumatics that converts fluid pressure into mechanical motion. Cylinders are used in a variety of industrial machinery and equipment to perform motion in linear, rotary or combined form. They consist of a cylindrical body, a piston, and a piston rod that moves in and out of the body when pressure is applied or released.

Factors affecting the choice of cylinder

When choosing a cylinder for your industrial machine, there are several factors to consider:

• Print: The capacity of the cylinder to handle the pressure of the hydraulic or pneumatic system is critical to its performance. Make sure the cylinder can handle the maximum working pressure of your system.
• kraft: What force does the cylinder need to generate to do the work required by the machine? This affects the choice of cylinder diameter and stroke.
• Speed: At what speed does the cylinder need to move to meet the demands of the machine? This affects the choice of hydraulic or pneumatic system as well as cylinder design.
• Mounting options: How should the cylinder be mounted on the machine? There are various mounting options that can affect the cylinder design, such as flanged, lug and threaded mountings.
• Environment: In what environment will the cylinder be used? If exposed to harsh conditions, such as high temperatures, corrosive substances or dirt, a cylinder with special materials and seals may be required to ensure long life and reliable performance.

Areas of use for cylinders

Cylinders are used in a variety of industrial machinery and applications, such as:

• Lifting and transport equipment: Forklifts, cranes, lifts and winches
• Production machines: Presses, punching machines and injection molding machines
• Mobile machines: Excavators, loaders and tractors
• Energy production: Hydropower plants and wind turbines
• Automation and robotics: Pick-and-place robots, pallet handling systems and conveyor belts

Our high-quality cylinder solution: Trio Bearing System

On Bengtssons Maskin we understand that choosing the right cylinder is critical to optimizing the performance and efficiency of your industrial machinery. That's why we offer our Trio Bearing System – an innovative cylinder design that improves both durability and side load resistance.

Features and benefits of the Trio Bearing System

• Cured composite joints: Optimizes side load resistance and reduces wear.
• Reinforced Trio Stop Ring: Further improves durability and lateral load resistance.
• Trio hybrid spring system: Provides faster retraction and reduces the risk of the piston rod getting stuck in a sustained position.
• High quality polyethylene seals: Low wear and long service life thanks to the robust material.
• Piston whisperer: Reduces contamination and extends cylinder life by minimizing dirt and particles entering the cylinder.
• Collar and piston rod threads and base mounting holes: Makes it easy to attach and mount the cylinder to the machine.
• Enamel finish: Increases corrosion resistance and gives the cylinder a neat and professional appearance.
