Rephasing cylinders are a complex and critical component for many industries. With plenty of manufacturers out there, it’s important for you to know which one is best for producing cylinders for your project.
The right manufacturer will work with you to design a cylinder system that meets the needs of your specific application, and will have the experience, equipment, and resources to manufacture your cylinders.
In this blog, we’ll highlight some advantages of rephasing cylinders, along with industry applications and some things to consider during design.
Advantages of Using Rephasing Cylinders
Rephasing cylinders have their advantages compared to other cylinders, offering complex motion through simple movement as part of their design. Some of the main advantages of utilizing rephasing cylinders:
Synchronized motion: Bypass passages at the end of the stroke allow cylinders to remain synchronized in motion through rephasing. This prevents any type of ‘jam’ from a mechanical standpoint and allows the cylinders to remain active.
Reduced complexity: Since rephased cylinders are designed to perform a singular service, they don’t require complex electronics or valve timing systems.
Cost efficiency: Using rephasing cylinders can be less expensive than using individual servo or position controlled cylinders because of their built-in capabilities.
Automatic realignment: Multiple cylinders re-align automatically during operation without external input. This saves time and resources, and with proper upkeep, can lead to a long service life.
Design Considerations for Rephasing Cylinders
A product is only as strong in practice as its design. Aurelius has extensive experience developing and manufacturing rephasing cylinder systems. Here are some things we consider, and our customers should too.
Leak protection: With more bypass passages comes more opportunity for leak points. Aurelius can help design a robust seal system to minimize leak potential. This will ensure a long-lasting product and minimal maintenance in the future.
Maintaining sync: Reaching full stroke occasionally to maintain sync is important, and it can also prevent any type of misalignment and uneven or excess wear on the cylinders. All of these measures help with safety as well. Aurelius will help develop an appropriate stroke length to promote occasional full extension.
Mounting ports and configurations: Aurelius has the capability to customize rephasing cylinders to include the mounting and porting configurations that are best for their specific design and application.
