Swing Rod Hydraulic Cylinder for Mast Type Aerial Work Platform

A swing rod hydraulic cylinder for a mast type aerial work platform is a specialized hydraulic component designed to facilitate controlled rotational or pivoting movements of the mast or platform. It is typically a double-acting cylinder, using hydraulic fluid to extend and retract the piston rod, enabling precise swinging or tilting motions. Constructed from high-strength materials like steel or aluminum, it features a robust piston rod and advanced sealing systems to ensure durability and reliability under high-pressure conditions.

The hydraulic swing rod cylinder’s design allows for smooth, stable operation, critical for maintaining safety and balance during high-altitude tasks. Customizable in terms of stroke length, bore size, and mounting options, it integrates seamlessly with mast-type platforms, supporting functions like mast tilting or rotation for enhanced maneuverability in applications such as construction, maintenance, or industrial operations.

Choose the Right Swing Rod Hydraulic Cylinder for Mast Type Aerial Work Platform

• Bore Diameter
  The bore diameter, the internal diameter of the cylinder barrel, determines the force output. For mast-type platforms, select a bore size (e.g., 2–6 inches) based on the required pivoting force, ensuring it matches the platform’s load and hydraulic system pressure. Measure the barrel’s inner diameter directly or calculate it by subtracting wall thickness from the outer diameter.

• Rod Diameter
  Rod diameter impacts the cylinder’s strength and resistance to bending. Choose a rod (e.g., 1–3 inches) suited for the platform’s swing load to prevent buckling. Use a caliper for precise measurement, ensuring compatibility with the bore and application demands.

• Working Pressure
  Working pressure, typically 1500–3000 PSI for aerial platforms, defines the cylinder’s force capacity. Verify the system’s maximum pressure via pump specifications or port measurements. Select a cylinder rated for the application’s pressure to ensure safe, efficient operation.

• Installation Distance
  Installation distance is the pin-to-pin length when the cylinder is retracted, critical for fitting within the platform’s design. Measure the distance between mounting points (e.g., clevis or pivot pins) to ensure proper integration and avoid misalignment issues.

• Stroke Length
  Stroke length, the distance the rod travels, affects the swing range of the mast. Calculate it by subtracting retracted length from extended length (e.g., 6–24 inches). Ensure the stroke meets the platform’s pivoting requirements without compromising stability.

• Hydraulic Cylinder Ports
  Hydraulic cylinder ports connect the cylinder to the hydraulic system, affecting fluid flow and performance. Match the port size and thread type (e.g., SAE O-ring or NPT) to the system’s hoses. Ensure compatibility to prevent leaks and maintain efficient operation during swinging motions.

• Hydraulic Cylinder Seals
  Seals prevent fluid leaks and ensure reliable operation. Choose hydraulic cylinder seals (e.g., nitrile for -20°C to 80°C or Viton for higher temperatures) based on environmental conditions, such as temperature and dust exposure, to enhance durability and performance in aerial work platforms.
