Installing a low-pressure tie-rod hydraulic cylinder is not difficult, but it does require careful attention to detail and a few tools. In this guide, we’ll show you the steps involved in properly installing a hydraulic cylinder so that you can do it yourself and get the job done right.
Tools You Will Need
Before you begin the installation, you’ll need to gather the tools you’ll need for the job. This includes a wrench set, a torque wrench, a hammer, a screwdriver, a hex key set, and an adjustable pliers.
Steps to Installing Low-Pressure Tie-Rod Hydraulic Cylinder
Step 1: Inspect the Cylinder and Mounting Hardware
Before you begin the installation, you’ll need to inspect the cylinder and mounting hardware for any signs of damage or wear. Make sure there are no cracks or leaks in the cylinder or mounting hardware.
Step 2: Attach the Cylinder to the Mounting Plate
Next, you’ll need to attach the cylinder to the mounting plate. Make sure the mounting holes are aligned and then use a wrench to tighten the mounting bolts. Use a torque wrench to make sure the bolts are tightened to the proper torque setting.
Step 3: Attach the Output Rod
Next, attach the output rod to the cylinder. Make sure the rod is aligned properly and use a hex key to secure the rod to the cylinder. Use a torque wrench to make sure the bolts are tightened to the proper torque setting.
Step 4: Attach the Input Rod
Now, attach the input rod to the cylinder. Make sure the rod is aligned properly and use a hex key to secure the rod to the cylinder. Use a torque wrench to make sure the bolts are tightened to the proper torque setting.
Step 5: Attach the Cylinder to the Actuator
Once the input rod and output rod are securely attached to the cylinder, you can attach the cylinder to the actuator. Make sure the mounting holes are aligned and then use a wrench to tighten the mounting bolts. Use a torque wrench to make sure the bolts are tightened to the proper torque setting.
Step 6: Test the Cylinder
Once the cylinder is securely attached to the actuator, you can test it to make sure it is working properly. Turn on the power to the actuator and then press the input rod to activate the cylinder. The output rod should move in and out smoothly.
Points to Remember
When installing a low-pressure tie-rod hydraulic cylinder, it is important to remember a few key points:
- Always inspect the cylinder and mounting hardware for any signs of damage or wear before installation.
- Use a torque wrench to make sure the mounting bolts are securely tightened to the proper torque setting.
- Make sure the input rod and output rod are securely attached to the cylinder before attaching the cylinder to the actuator.
- Test the cylinder after installation to make sure it is working properly.
