Presented by: Dr. Abootorabi
Actuators
1
Hydraulic Cylinders
Actuators are the components used in a hydraulic system to
provide power to a required work location.
Cylinders are the hydraulic system components that convert
fluid pressure and flow into linear mechanical force and
movement.

Hydraulic Cylinders
A basic cylinder consists of:
Piston
Piston rod
Barrel
The piston forms sealed, variable-volume chambers in
the cylinder.
System fluid forced into the chambers, drives the
piston and rod assembly.3
Hydraulic Cylinders
Seals prevent leakage between:
Piston and cylinder barrel
Piston rod and head
Barrel and its end pieces
Wiper seal, or scraper, prevents dirt and water from
entering the cylinder during rod retraction.

Hydraulic Cylinders
Cylinders are typically classified by operating principle:
Single-acting
Double-acting
Single-acting Double-acting 8
Hydraulic CylindersSingle-acting cylinder exert force either on extension or
retraction:
They require an outside force to complete the second
motion (either by a spring or by the weight load).
Double-acting cylinder generate force during both
extension and retraction:
Directional control valve alternately directs fluid to
opposite sides of the piston
Force output varies between extension and retraction

Hydraulic Cylinders
Effective piston area is reduced on retraction due to
the rod cross section.
15
Hydraulic Cylinders
Telescoping cylinders are available for applications
requiring long extension distances:
Rod is made up of several tubes of varying size
nested inside of the barrel
Each tube extends, producing a rod longer than the
cylinder barrel
Typical example is the actuator that raises the box on
a dump truck
16

Telescoping cylinders:
The maximum
force is at the
collapsed position
The speed will
increase at each
stage, but will not
allow much force
17
Hydraulic CylindersCylinders often use hydraulic
cushions (to brake high stroke
speeds):
Provide a controlled
approach to the end of
the stroke
Reduces the shock of the
impact as the piston
contacts the cylinder
head
18
Hydraulic Cylinders
Cushioning is not
required for speeds of
v<6 m/min.
This type of end position
cushioning is used for
stroke speed between 6
m/min and 20 m/min. At
higher speed, additional
cushioning or braking
devices must be used.

Hydraulic Cylinders
A variety of mounting configurations are used to attach the
cylinder body and rod end to machinery:
Fixed centerline
Fixed noncenterline
Pivoting centerline
Expected cylinder loading is the major factor in the
selection of the mounting style.

The force generated by a cylinder is calculated by multiplying
the effective area of the piston by the system pressure.

determined by:

Limited-Rotation Hydraulic Actuators
Limited-rotation devices (swivel drive) are actuators with an
output shaft that typically applies torque through
approximately 360° of rotation.
Models are available that are limited to less than one
revolution, while others may produce several revolutions.
39
Limited-Rotation Hydraulic Actuators
Most common designs of limited-rotation actuators are:
Rack-and-pinion
Vane
Helical piston and rod

Limited-Rotation Hydraulic ActuatorsLimited-rotation actuators are used to perform a
number of functions in a variety of industrial situations:
Indexing devices on machine tools
Clamping of workpieces
Operation of large valves

actuators are used in this
robotic arm:
Hydraulic Motors
Hydraulic motors are called rotary actuators.
They convert fluid pressure and flow into torque and
rotational movement.
45
Hydraulic MotorsSystem fluid enters the housing and applies pressure
to the rotating internal parts.
This, in turn, moves the power output shaft and applies
torque to rotate a load.
46
Primary parts that produce the rotating motion in most
hydraulic motors are either:
Gears
Vanes
Pistons
Hydraulic Motors
The external gear hydraulic motor is the most common and
simplest of the basic motor types:
Unbalanced load on the bearings

Hydraulic Motors
Hydraulic motors may be incorporated into circuits using
series or parallel connections:
Series circuits: total system pressure is determined by
adding the loads placed on each unit
Parallel circuits: each motor receives full system
pressure; loads must be matched or equal flow supplied
to each motor if constant speed is desired from each unit
