What Is an Electric Hydraulic Cylinder?
An electric hydraulic cylinder is an actuator device that integrates an electric motor, hydraulic pump, hydraulic cylinder, and valve block.
When electric current is applied to the motor, oil is fed into the cylinder, causing it to expand and contract.
Some products have variable cylinder stroke lengths.
Uses of Electric Hydraulic Cylinders
Hydraulic cylinders are indispensable machine parts that are used in factory lines for press fitting of industrial machinery, linear motion for transportation, and width pulling, as well as for arms control of heavy machinery.
Electric hydraulic cylinders offer the advantage of independent use in various locations for outdoor agricultural machinery, snow plows, and diverse industrial equipment. This is due to the integration of the electric motor, hydraulic pump, and valve block within the cylinder. The hydraulic pressure can be entirely adjusted inside the machine, making them suitable for applications in these types of machinery
Principle of Electric Hydraulic Cylinders
Hydraulic cylinders are basically components based on Pascal’s principle. The pushing force of a small cylinder area is used to move a cylinder with a larger area, like the principle of leverage. The force used to push the cylinder is the force of a hydraulic pump, which is generally connected to a previously prepared location such as a pipe branch.
The electric hydraulic cylinders are designed and developed to be able to withstand general-purpose use with a degree of freedom outdoors by integrating the hydraulic cylinder and the pump that feeds the electric hydraulic oil.
Electric hydraulic cylinders, which are driven solely by an electric motor, are increasingly replacing hydraulic cylinders due to their convenience and energy efficiency. Against this background, electric hydraulic cylinders are products that pursue the convenience of an electric system while still being hydraulic.
In addition, DC12V and DC24V power supplies are commonly used, but DC100V (AC100V full-wave rectification) types are also available.
