Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the typical lifespan of a steering hydraulic cylinder?
The lifespan depends on usage conditions, but with proper maintenance, our cylinders can last over 10,000 hours of operation. Regular fluid checks and seal inspections are recommended to maximize longevity.
How do I choose the right bore size for my application?
Select the bore size based on the required force output. Use the formula: Force = Pressure × Area. Larger bores provide higher force but may require more fluid volume. Consult our technical support for personalized recommendations.
Can these cylinders be used with different hydraulic fluids?
Yes, our cylinders are compatible with most standard hydraulic fluids, including mineral oils, synthetics, and biodegradable options. Ensure the fluid matches the seal material (e.g., nitrile for petroleum-based fluids).
What maintenance is required for steering hydraulic cylinders?
Routine maintenance includes checking for leaks, inspecting seals, and replacing hydraulic fluid as per the manufacturer's schedule. Keep the rod clean to prevent contamination and wear.
Are custom modifications available for specific needs?
Absolutely. We offer customization options such as special mounts, stroke lengths, and materials. Provide your specifications, and our team will design a solution tailored to your application.
How do I troubleshoot common issues like drifting or slow operation?
Drifting often indicates internal leakage or worn seals. Slow operation might be due to low fluid levels or contamination. Inspect the system, replace faulty components, and ensure proper fluid viscosity.
What certifications do your products hold?
Our cylinders meet ISO 9001 quality standards and are tested for performance and safety. Specific certifications vary by model and application; contact us for detailed documentation.
Is installation complicated for someone without experience?
While basic mechanical skills are helpful, we provide detailed installation guides and support. For complex systems, we recommend professional assistance to ensure optimal performance and safety.
