What is a telescopic hydraulic cylinder?

March 27, 2015 By Mike Santora

telescopic-cylinder-dumping-truck

Telescopic hydraulic cylinders, sometimes called multi-stage cylinders, are a type of linear actuator consisting of a series of tubular rods called sleeves. The sleeves (usually four or five) sequentially decrease in diameter and are nested inside of each other. Once hydraulic pressure is introduced to the cylinder, the largest sleeve (called the main or barrel) […]

A primer on hydraulic hose construction

March 2, 2015 By Josh Cosford

Hydraulic hose is one of the least considered components of a high-pressure fluid power system; however, its habit of being overlooked does not reduce its importance. Any machine with actuators attached to moving segments requires flexible plumbing, and that plumbing is hydraulic hose. Hydraulic hose has come a long way with regards to pressure limit […]

Modular Spring-Damper Isolators protect in variety of applications

August 5, 2014 By Michael Jermann

Severe vibration inputs to a relatively sensitive object are often attenuated by a base isolation or isolated platform system. The object to be protected is placed on a foundation or platform that is free to move in the direction of the vibratory input, and springs or spring-damper combinations are added between the isolated object and […]
