Custom Stroke 360mm Hydraulic Cylinder in Luffing Equipment

Main Parameters

Luffing hydraulic cylinders play a vital role in various heavy-duty applications, including bucket wheel excavators, reclaimers, and stackers. These cylinders enable smooth and stable movement of the equipment's arm, even in dynamic and continuous operations. They often operate in challenging conditions, exposed to chemicals and abrasive dust, making corrosion resistance a critical feature.

Heavy industries, such as oil rigs and cranes, rely on luffing cylinders for their efficiency and reliability. While they may come with a higher initial cost, their performance makes them a dependable choice. In crane jibs, the luffing mechanism utilizes a hydraulic luffing cylinder in conjunction with a pressure sensor. These components are essential for ensuring the seamless operation of the jib.

Luffing cylinders can be categorized as either single-acting or double-acting. The double-acting piston oil cylinder is the more common type. On the other hand, a single-acting plunger luffing jib features a single oil port and a double-stage telescopic luffing cylinder. This configuration allows for quicker lowering of the luffing jib when done manually, facilitating efficient jib head reeving.

These versatile cylinders find applications across various industries, including heavy construction and mining equipment. They excel in scenarios that demand high lifting capabilities. Additionally, luffing cylinders are crucial in mining operations, where the design of the luffing sleeve is of utmost importance to ensure optimal performance and durability.
