Hydraulic flange cylinders are categorized based on their mounting type. Such as standard flange cylinders, rear flange cylinders, or custom flange cylinders, and by their pressure classes. Each category is designed to offer robust performance and secure mounting for different operational demands.
At Topa, we excel in crafting customized hydraulic cylinder flange to meet the precise needs of your projects. Our expertise allows us to deliver cylinders that promise exceptional performance and longevity. We invite you contact us today to discuss your custom cylinder requirements.
This type of cylinder features a flange at one or both ends for mounting, providing a sturdy and reliable connection for various industrial applications.
Designed for high-load applications, this cylinder has a front-mounted flange that helps bear substantial loads.
Cylinders with front flanges are commonly used where the mounting surface is on the same plane as the machinery it is operating.
Part of the HSG series, this cylinder is recognized for its robust flange design. It suitable for engineering and heavy-duty machinery.
This cylinder has a flange in the middle of its body, offering a balanced mounting option that’s perfect for pivot point applications.
Specifically designed for lifting applications, this cylinder’s front flange provides a secure attachment point for hoists and lifters.
Designed for press packers, this cylinder has a flange designed to withstand the high force environment of press operations.
These cylinders have a flange welded to the rear end, providing a solid mount for applications where the cylinder is subject to directional force.
This cylinder combines the stability of flange mounting with the precision of a tie rod to absorb shocks and minimize vibration.
A hydraulic flange cylinder is a mechanical actuator used to exert a unidirectional force through a unidirectional stroke. It is an essential component in various types of machinery, including construction equipment, manufacturing machinery, and civil engineering projects.
These cylinders operate by the movement of a piston within a barrel, powered by pressurized hydraulic fluid. The piston is connected to a piston rod, which extends outside the cylinder through the rod-end head. This design allows the hydraulic flange cylinder to convert hydraulic energy into mechanical movement.
Flange cylinders come with mounting options such as flanges, trunnions, clevises, and lugs. These mounting options are integral to the cylinder’s design and provide a robust connection to the machine or the component it is designed to move.
The construction of a hydraulic flange cylinder typically involves a cylinder barrel made from honed tubes for smooth operation and precision. The barrel ends are sealed with a cylinder base or cap and a cylinder head, which also houses the rod sealing arrangement. The piston within the barrel is designed with grooves to hold seals and bearing elements, ensuring efficient operation and preventing leaks
High Force: Hydraulic flange cylinders can generate a high force from a relatively small footprint compared to pneumatic or electric actuators.
Robustness: The flange design allows for a secure and rigid mount, which is less likely to become misaligned under high loads.
Ease of Maintenance: With the flange-mounted design, hydraulic cylinders can be more accessible for maintenance and repair, reducing downtime in industrial processes.
Customization: Topa flange cylinders can be customized to fit specific applications, including varying rod sizes, materials, and seal types to handle different pressures and environmental conditions.
Precision Control: Hydraulic systems, including flange cylinders, offer precise control of speed, position, and force.
Construction Machinery: In excavators and backhoes, hydraulic flange cylinders are used for the movement of the boom and arm.
Manufacturing Equipment: Press machines used in metal fabrication often use hydraulic flange cylinders to exert the necessary force to shape or cut metal components.
Agricultural Machinery: In tractors and harvesters, these cylinders are used to control implements such as plows and mowers.
Material Handling Equipment: Forklifts and pallet jacks use hydraulic flange cylinders for lifting and moving heavy loads.
Aerospace and Defense: In the aerospace industry, hydraulic flange cylinders are used in the landing gear of aircraft and in the control surfaces of airplanes and helicopters.
Marine Applications: On ships and docks, hydraulic flange cylinders are used for steering mechanisms, hatch covers, and loading equipment.
Topa’s custom flange hydraulic cylinders to meet specific requirements involves a series of steps to ensure that the final product is effective for its intended application.
The first step is to have a detailed consultation with the customer to understand their needs. This includes the application of the hydraulic cylinder, the force required, stroke length, working pressure and environmental conditions.
We will select materials that have the durability, strength and corrosion resistance required for the application. Common materials include stainless steel for rods and carbon steel for cylinders.
Next, our technicians machine cylinder barrels, pistons, rods and flanges to the exact dimensions specified. Piston rods receive a surface treatment, such as chrome plating, to increase durability and minimize wear.
Once installation is complete, we assemble the cylinders in a clean environment to prevent contamination. This includes installing seals and bearings, mounting the piston to the rod, and securing the flange.
Finally, Topa rigorously tests the assembled cylinders to ensure they meet all performance criteria. Cylinders are thoroughly inspected to ensure they meet all industry standards and customer specifications.
All of Topa’s services are dedicated to customer satisfaction. If you would like to order a flanged hydraulic cylinder, please feel free to contact us!
