Hydraulic Cylinder for Lifting and Flipping the Grain Tank
A hydraulic cylinder is a mechanical device used to move an object by using pressurized hydraulic fluid. It consists of a cylinder, piston, and hydraulic fluid, which when pressurized, forces the piston, thereby moving the object. When it comes to lifting and flipping a grain tank, you will need a hydraulic cylinder that has a bore large enough, stroke long enough and pressure rating sufficient enough to lift the weight of the tank.
The bore, which refers to the cylinder’s diameter, and the stroke, which is the distance the piston travels, are factors that determine the amount of weight that the cylinder can lift. These, along with the pressure rating, help determine the type of hydraulic cylinder that is required for lifting and flipping a grain tank.
The type of hydraulic cylinder required also depends on the way the tank is being flipped. If you are flipping the tank vertically, a single-acting cylinder with one piston rod that extends by pressurized fluid is needed. To retract the piston rod, a manual or electric pump is used. On the other hand, flipping the tank horizontally requires a double-acting cylinder with two piston rods that can be extended or retracted by pressurized fluid. Although this cylinder type is more expensive than a single-acting cylinder, it is easier to use.
Hydraulic Cylinder Dimensions:
| Drawing Number | Bore Diameter (D) | Rod Diameter (d) | Stroke (S) | Installation Distance (L) | Working Pressure | Interface Dimensions (M) | Weight |
| 5T1037631-3-00 | Φ65 | Φ35 | 607 | 823 | 16.7MPa | 2-RC1/4 | 18kg |
Features of Hydraulic Cylinder for Lifting and Flipping the Grain Tank:
Here are some of the features of a hydraulic cylinder for lifting and flipping a grain tank:
- Lifting capacity: The hydraulic cylinder must be able to lift the weight of the grain tank. This is determined by the bore, stroke, and pressure rating of the cylinder.
- Stroke: The stroke is the distance that the piston rod can travel. This determines how high the grain tank can be lifted.
- Pressure rating: The pressure rating is the maximum pressure that the cylinder can withstand. This is important to ensure that the cylinder does not rupture when lifting the grain tank.
- Material of construction: The hydraulic cylinder must be made of a strong and durable material that can withstand the weight of the grain tank and the pressure that will be applied to it. Steel and aluminum are common materials used for hydraulic cylinders.
- Seals: The hydraulic cylinder must have seals that prevent the hydraulic fluid from leaking out. This is important to ensure that the cylinder operates efficiently and safely.
- Lubrication: The hydraulic cylinder must be lubricated to prevent wear and tear. This is usually done with grease or oil.
- Safety features: The hydraulic cylinder should have safety features to prevent accidents. This could include a pressure relief valve or a lock-out mechanism.
