ABSTRACT

 A hydraulic cylinder is a volumetric hydraulic motor that converts the energy of the fluid flow into various types of movement of the output link. The use of volumetric hydraulic drives with a hydraulic cylinder working element in all possible fields of industry does not require high capacities. One of the advantages is the ease of operation and overload protection. There are also disadvantages. For example, the hydraulic cylinder depends on the working fluid and in case of contamination it may fail, and therefore the reliability of the hydraulic cylinder decreases. In order to protect hydraulic cylinders from moisture and dirt entering them, as well as to increase their reliability, seals with dirt-removing rings are provided. When assembling or disassembling hydraulic cylinders, important conditions must be taken into account, since failure to comply with these conditions can lead to a defect. Considerable efforts have been made to the parts, so some manual operations are excluded when assembling and disassembling hydraulic cylinders. The reliability of the hydraulic cylinder and, consequently, its reliability are the main topic of the study. Hydraulic cylinders can be of translational action and rotary action. Translational ones include: piston, plunger, telescopic. Reciprocating, in turn, can be one-sided and two-sided. If it is required to create an effort in only one direction, a one-way hydraulic cylinder is designed. At the beginning of the work, a diagram of a volumetric hydraulic drive and its principle of operation is presented. Special attention is paid to assessing the reliability of the hydraulic cylinder. In conclusion, the results of the analyses and the conclusions of the calculations are given. The change in the reliability of the hydraulic cylinder over time was also indicated and the reasons for this change were named.
