Hydraulic Cylinder General Purpose Jacks Threaded Ram Double Acting

Hydraulic Cylinder General-Purpose JacksDefinition: Hydraulic jacks are devices used to lift heavy loads by applying a force through a hydraulic mechanism. The double-acting type means that the jack can apply force in both directions—lifting and lowering.Key FeaturesDouble-Acting Design:Operates by hydraulic pressure on both the extending and retracting strokes.Provides more control and efficiency in lifting and lowering loads.Plain Ram:Features a smooth, cylindrical ram that extends and retracts.Ideal for pushing, pulling, and holding applications.Capacity:Available in various lifting capacities, suitable for different applications from automotive repairs to industrial uses.Construction:Made from durable materials like steel for longevity and strength.Often equipped with seals to prevent hydraulic fluid leakage.Applications:Widely used in automotive service, construction, manufacturing, and maintenance operations.Suitable for lifting heavy machinery, vehicles, and structural components.Safety Features:Many jacks come with built-in safety valves to prevent overloading.Some models include pressure gauges for monitoring hydraulic pressure.Benefits Efficiency: Double-acting design allows for quicker operation compared to single-acting jacks.Versatility: Can be used in various settings, making them a general-purpose tool.Control: Better load control during both lifting and lowering operationDetailed OverviewOperation Hydraulic Mechanism: Uses hydraulic fluid, typically oil, to transmit force. When the hydraulic pump is activated, it forces fluid into the cylinder, causing the ram to extend. When lowering, the fluid is released back into the reservoir, allowing the ram to retract.Control Valves: Equipped with control valves that regulate the flow of hydraulic fluid, allowing precise control over the speed and force of the lift.Specifications Lifting Capacity:Jacks come in a range of capacities, from a few tons to several hundred tons. Always select a jack that exceeds your load requirements.Stroke Length:The length of the ram’s extension is crucial. Longer strokes allow for greater lifting heights, while shorter strokes are more compact and easier to use in confined spaces.Working Pressure:Common operating pressures range from 2000 to 3000 PSI. Ensure your hydraulic system can handle the required pressure.Dimensions:Consider the footprint of the jack, especially if space is limited. Some models are designed to be more compact.Types of Applications Automotive Repair:Perfect for lifting vehicles for maintenance, tire changes, or undercarriage work.Construction:Used for lifting beams, precast concrete, or other heavy materials during assembly or alignment.Manufacturing:Ideal for material handling, assembly tasks, and equipment maintenance.Agriculture:Useful for lifting farm machinery for repairs or adjustments
