Telescopic hydraulic cylinders are an important piece of equipment, especially in the construction industry. They can be single- or double-acting, and are designed in stages, which results in a long extension length with a short closed length. Single-acting telescopic cylinders usually rely on gravity for retraction and are common in dump-box applications. Although this isn’t their only use. Aurelius Manufacturing highlights five uses for telescopic hydraulic cylinders in smart machines.
Dump-Box, Automated Trailers
Telescopic hydraulic cylinders’ most common and popular usage is with dump-box and automated trailer applications. These systems utilize this type of hydraulic cylinder in order to perform essential functions such as tilting cargo beds. This technology enables accurate unloading controlled by feedback sensors. These specific cylinders work best for this application because of their long extension length and ability to work with a compact design, such as a dump-box.
Waste Management Vehicles
Similar to dump-box applications, waste management vehicles are another common user of telescopic hydraulic cylinders. These vehicles, along with trash compactors, rely on telescopic hydraulic cylinders to compact, eject, and lift waste. For waste management vehicles, these cylinders can be found in the arms that lift waste bins into the trucks’ compactor. In a grounded compactor, these cylinders are found in the arm that compacts the waste.
Construction and Agriculture
A variety of vehicles and machines in the construction and agricultural industries utilize these cylinders. Extendable booms in cranes and excavators use these cylinders to reach various heights and angles.
In agricultural applications, telescopic hydraulic cylinders are seen in all of the previous applications listed as well as in smart sprayers. This equipment uses these hydraulic cylinders to precisely adjust booms and arms.
Smart Material Handling Equipment
These hydraulic cylinders can be found in automated warehouses, such as those used by distribution companies. These cylinders improve efficiency in conveyors, lifts, and pick-and-place robots.
Assembly Machines
In key smart manufacturing systems where assembly machines are present, telescopic hydraulic cylinders can be a viable option. In this environment, the cylinders are used for fast-paced tool swaps, precision presses, and in equipment that needs long stroke extension in compact spaces.
