How do I identify my hydraulic cylinder?

Hydraulic cylinders are key actuators in hydraulic systems, and their correct identification is crucial for equipment maintenance, selection, and troubleshooting. As a professional hydraulic cylinder manufacturer, we will introduce to you in detail how to identify our hydraulic cylinders.

1. Check the identification information

The surface of the hydraulic cylinders we produce is usually engraved with clear identification information, which is the most direct way to identify the hydraulic cylinder. These identifications include the model of the hydraulic cylinder, the date of production, etc. With this information, you can quickly understand the basic situation of the hydraulic cylinder, such as the inner diameter of the cylinder body, the piston diameter, the piston rod diameter, the stroke and other parameters.

2. Measuring the size

When the identification information of the hydraulic cylinder is unclear or needs further confirmation, measuring the size is an effective method. You can use tools such as tape measures and outside diameter calipers to measure the outer diameter of the cylinder body, the piston rod diameter, the piston stroke and the overall length of the hydraulic cylinder. Compare the measured dimensions with the dimensions in the identification information. If the two are consistent, then the model and specifications of the hydraulic cylinder can be basically determined.

3. Observe the structural characteristics

Different types of hydraulic cylinders have different structural characteristics. For example, in the graphic symbol of a double-rod piston hydraulic cylinder, the rectangular frame represents the cylinder body, the single line segment or double line segment in the width direction of the cylinder body represents the piston, and the single line segment perpendicular to the piston on both sides of the piston or the double line segment with closed ends represents the two piston rods. In the graphic symbol of a single-rod piston hydraulic cylinder, a single line segment or a double line segment with closed ends perpendicular to the piston represents the piston rod. By observing these structural features, the specific model can be further confirmed in combination with identification information and dimensional measurement.
