Product description:

hydraulic cylinders are actuators that convert hydraulic energy into linear mechanical force. They have a compact structure, high output force, and smooth operation. They are the core components for performing actions such as pushing, pulling, lifting, and pressing in various mechanical and industrial systems, and are widely used in construction machinery, metallurgy, mining, shipping, and other fields.

A support oil cylinder, also known as a hydraulic support cylinder or outrigger cylinder, is a vital hydraulic component used to provide stable support and balance for heavy machinery during operation. It is widely applied in cranes, concrete pump trucks, drilling rigs, excavators, fire trucks, and engineering vehicles, where equipment stability and safety are essential.

Structure and Working Principle

A support oil cylinder typically consists of a cylinder barrel, piston, piston rod, sealing system, guide bush, and mounting interfaces. When hydraulic oil is pumped into the cylinder, pressure acts on the piston to extend the piston rod, pushing down the support leg or outrigger to contact the ground. This action stabilizes the machine by transferring part of the load to the ground and reducing structural stress on the chassis.

When the operation is completed, hydraulic pressure is released, and the piston retracts, allowing the support legs to return to their storage position. The design ensures smooth movement, reliable locking, and precise control under all working conditions.

Material and Manufacturing Process

The cylinder barrel is made from high-strength alloy steel or precision seamless cold-drawn tubes, which are honed internally for smooth motion and excellent sealing performance. The piston rod is hard chrome plated or QPQ treated for outstanding wear resistance, corrosion protection, and extended service life.

Advanced CNC machining, robotic welding, automatic grinding, and strict heat treatment processes are used to guarantee high dimensional accuracy and superior structural strength. Each support oil cylinder is assembled under strict quality control to ensure safe, reliable operation in demanding environments such as construction sites, mines, and offshore platforms.

Applications:

The hydraulic cylinder is an energy conversion device that converts hydraulic energy into mechanical energy. It is the core executive component in the hydraulic system. The hydraulic cylinder uses hydraulic oil to drive the piston to move, converting hydraulic energy into linear reciprocating motion. When the hydraulic oil enters the cylinder barrel, it pushes the piston rod to extend or retract, completing the predetermined action. The direction and speed of its movement are regulated by the hydraulic control system. The hydraulic cylinder consists of a cylinder barrel, cylinder cover, piston and piston rod, sealing device, and buffering device. According to its structure, it can be classified as piston type, plunger type, multi-stage telescopic sleeve type, and gear rack type. Hydraulic cylinders are widely used in machine tools, construction machinery, vehicles, and other fields, featuring a simple structure and smooth movement.

The support oil cylinder is widely used in industries that require stable positioning, lifting, or balancing of heavy equipment. Typical applications include:

Truck-mounted cranes – for extending and supporting outriggers during lifting operations.

Concrete pump trucks – to stabilize the chassis while pumping concrete.

Firefighting and rescue vehicles – for leveling and securing equipment during emergency response.

Drilling rigs and mobile cranes – for ground stabilization during drilling or hoisting.

Excavators and loaders – for auxiliary support during loading and digging operations.

Agricultural and forestry machinery – for stabilizing attachments and heavy loads.

In all these scenarios, the support oil cylinder ensures safety, accuracy, and performance stability, allowing operators to perform complex tasks with confidence.

Quality Control and Testing

Each support hydraulic cylinder undergoes strict inspection and testing procedures before leaving the factory. Quality control includes:

Pressure and leakage testing under rated load conditions

Dimensional and surface inspection for precise fitting

Corrosion and coating adhesion tests for long-term durability

Fatigue and performance testing to ensure consistent operation

All products comply with ISO, DIN, and CE standards, guaranteeing safety, reliability, and compatibility with global hydraulic systems.
