4 x 100 Tonne lifting Cylinders with a Split Flow Pump for lifting Pressure Vessels There are many things you should keep in mind when purchasing Hydraulic Cylinders to ensure you’re getting the best product for your money. In this article, we’re going to the five things we feel are most important. 1. How much does the Cylinder need to lift? Don’t forget a Ton is not a Tonne. While they do indeed sound the same… a ton in 2000 lbs, while Tonne is 1000 kg (2204 lbs). Our Hi-Force Hydraulic Cylinders are manufactured in the UK and rated in Tonnes, however, some other manufacture’s use tons and there is almost a 10% in lifting capacity. Make sure you compare apples to apples when reviewing the specifications. 2. What stroke length is needed and are there any size restrictions for placement? At KASI, we have a breakdown of all our cylinder dimensions in metric and standard units, along with dimensioned drawings to make your selection easier. Make sure the cylinder has room to be placed where it’s needed. With blocking, sometimes you can use a slightly shorter stroke, and make multiple lifts.

Single Acting Cylinders are a cost-effective option for simple lifting projects, but if you require both push and pull, or controlled retraction then Double Acting Cylinders are the way to go. 4. Consider the material – steel is strong and durable, while aluminum is lightweight and corrosion-resistant. When determining if you want to use Aluminum Cylinder, you want to ask yourself a question. “Where is the tool going to be used?” In a nice clean machine shop for pushing pins… or is it being loaded onto a service truck that’s heading into a mine. Kasi can help you select the right tool for the job. 5. Does the load need to be held in place once lifted? Seems like a silly question. Not really. The load is often lifted and physically blocked, but Locking Ring Cylinders are sometimes preferred. Locking Rings Cylinders have a mechanical collar which engages and locks the piston in place, meaning that even if hydraulic pressure is lost, the load will not lower unexpectedly. With or without the locking ring KASI has both options available for you. Do you still have questions?

Hydraulic clamps offer an easy and effective way to perform pressing processes. They are mechanical devices that use some type of liquid, such as oil, to clamp a workpiece with pressure. While all hydraulic clamps are designed for pressing processes, they are available in different types. Below are five things to consider when choosing a hydraulic clamp.
You should consider the pressing force when choosing a hydraulic clamp. As previously mentioned, all hydraulic clamps apply pressure, which is essentially how they press workpieces. The amount of pressure a hydraulic clamp applies is measured in its pressure force. Some hydraulic clamps produce 3,000 pounds of pressing force, whereas others produce 5,000 or more pounds of pressing force.
Different hydraulic clamps require different methods of installation. For most types, you’ll install them by mounting them on a workbench or similar stable surface with fasteners. Installation requires the use of bolts. Bolts are fasteners that you use to mount a hydraulic clamp to a stable surface. When shopping for a hydraulic clamp, you should consider the installation method.
When choosing a hydraulic clamp, you should consider the direction in which the clamping arm moves. The clamping arm, of course, is the top part of a hydraulic clamp. It’s responsible for applying the pressing force while subsequently pressing the workpiece. The clamping arm, however, may move in either a clockwise or a counter-clockwise direction. With that said, some hydraulic clamps have an adjustable clamping arm, meaning you can change it to a clockwise or a counter-clockwise direction.
Of course, you should consider the size of a hydraulic clamp. Hydraulic clamps are available in different sizes. Some of them are small, whereas others are larger. The size of a hydraulic clamp will ultimately determine the size of the workpieces that it supports. If you’re planning to press a large workpiece, you may need an equally large hydraulic clamp.
There are accessories available for many hydraulic clamps. You might want to use a booster or pump with a hydraulic clamp, for instance. These accessories can improve the performance and versatility of the hydraulic clamp. With that said, not all hydraulic clamps support accessories such as these. If you’re planning to use accessories with it, you’ll need to choose a hydraulic clamp that supports them. By taking into account pressing force, installation method, clamping arm direction, size and support for accessories, you can choose the perfect hydraulic clamp for your workplace.
