FAQ

What hydraulic pump do I need for my application?

Hydraulic gear pump selection depends on the number of factors such as: required oil flow rate, desired working pressure of the application, hydraulic cylinder oil volume displacement, speed of the hydraulic motor and desired torque of the pump. We strongly advise to collect all the data explained above prior to the gear pump purchase.

How many types of hydraulic cylinders are there?

The three most common hydraulic cylinder configurations are piston hydraulic cylinders, telescopic hydraulic cylinders and plunger hydraulic cylinders

What is the difference between double and single acting hydraulic cylinders?

  • ouble-Acting (DAT) – have a port for each side, supplied with hydraulic fluid for both, the retraction and extension. Used for power up – power down applications. 
  • Single-Acting (SAT) – hydraulic fluid enters through a port on one end of the cylinder, which extends the rod by means of area difference. An external force or gravity returns the piston rod inside.

What are the common causes of hydraulic cylinder failure?

  1. Side loading
  2. Contaminated Fluid
  3. Rough or scored rod
  4. Aggressive Environment
  5. Dieseling effect
