CYLINDER SIZING CONSIDERATIONS

CYLINDER SIZING CONSIDERATIONS:
1. What push or pull tonnage is required per cylinder in your application? Power Team recommends using 80% of the rated capacity and stroke to maximize product performance and safety.
2. What is the push or pull stroke length required?
3. Does the cylinder need to push, pull or both? (Single-acting cylinders extend the piston under hydraulic pressure. Double-acting cylinders extend and retract the piston under pressure)
4. Does the application require multiple cylinders?
5. Is the application stationary, or must the components be light in weight for easy portability?
7. Does the application require that the cylinder fit within limited-clearance work areas?
8. Does the application require that the cylinder be “dead-ended” at the end of it’s work stroke?
9. Will the cylinder need to withstand off-center loads? If yes, consider using swivel load caps.
10. Does the application require that the lifted load be supported for extended periods of time? Locking collars are ideal for such jobs, as are cribbing blocks.
11. Is corrosion resistance required? Our unique “Power-Tech” surface treatment is standard on many Power Team cylinders, and optional on many of our cylinders which feature steel construction.
12. Will the application involve high cycles (over 2,500 in the cylinder’s lifetime)? Our “RD,” “RH,” “RP” and “C” series cylinders are ideal choices. Please refer to pages 12-13 for the capabilities of each cylinder.
