The cylinder of a hydraulic pallet truck is a hydraulic cylinder, whose function is to raise and lower the truck through the pressure of hydraulic oil. This cylinder is a key component in the hydraulic system, used to convert the pressure generated by the hydraulic pump into mechanical energy to drive the reciprocating motion of the piston, thereby raising and lowering the truck’s forks.
Working Principle: The hydraulic pallet truck’s cylinder contains a piston. When the handle pumps oil, hydraulic oil enters the cylinder through a valve, pushing the piston upward and raising the forks. When the valve is released, the hydraulic oil in the cylinder is squeezed back into the tank, causing the piston to lower, and the forks to follow.
Internal Medium: The cylinder is filled with hydraulic oil, a special working medium that transmits pressure, lubricates, dissipates heat, and prevents corrosion and rust. Components: A complete hydraulic cylinder typically consists of a cylinder barrel, piston, piston rod, and other components. Hydraulic oil is key to driving the movement of these components.
