Hydraulic cylinders come in many different types to serve unique purposes in all kinds of environments and machinery. With this in mind, it’s important to understand how each type works so you can make an informed decision about what your project needs. For instance, knowing all you can about welded tube cylinders allows you to determine if they’re a good fit. Keep reading to learn more.
What Are Welded Tube Hydraulic Cylinders?
Welded tube hydraulic cylinders are pretty much exactly what they sound like: cylinders with the barrel and end caps welded together. These cylinders have a sleek design and smooth surface, which makes them ideal for debris-heavy environments, as the smooth exterior does not hold onto dirt or debris. This is important since dirt can cause issues when it is attached to hydraulic equipment.
Where Are Welded Tube Hydraulic Cylinders Used?
You’ll find this type of hydraulic system at work in high-pressure hydraulic systems because they are built to withstand this pressure. They are also more compact and are typically smaller than tie rod cylinders, which makes them perfect for more complex machinery with limited space availability. Given their higher pressure threshold and ease of placement, welded tube hydraulic cylinders are often seen in construction equipment, material handling equipment, and other heavy-duty equipment and machines that inherently involve high pressure scenarios with complex builds.
