What are the most common hydraulic cylinder piston rod problems?

January 26, 2021 By Mary Gannon

common hydraulic Cylinder piston rod problems

By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor It would help if you never underestimate the importance of your cylinder rod. The rod is not just the object transmitting the force from the cylinder’s piston but also the interface between that cylinder and your machine. Before you can correctly select and then design the piston rod, you must […]

Electrohydraulic actuators optimize seed depth

January 5, 2021 By Mary Gannon

The Thomson H-Track electrohydraulic linear actuator enabled Graham Electric to implement a compact, wireless electric seed depth management system that could pay for itself within the first year of operation.

Designers for heavy duty motion control applications have traditionally specified hydraulic cylinders for their high speed, heavy load handling and resilience. However, recent advancements that embed hydraulic technology within electric linear actuators have been delivering the benefits of hydraulics without common drawbacks. A prime example of this conversion has been the optimization of seed depth […]
