Design and Finite Element Analysis of Double - Acting, Double - Ends Hydraulic Cylinder for Industrial Automation Application
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
The design and analysis of safe hydraulic cylinders have become a great concern because of the important role it plays in the automation of industrial equipment and systems. Hydraulic and pneumatic systems are fluid power systems that are commonly used in the industry nowadays. Most failures experienced in hydraulic systems are failures associated with the linear actuator (hydraulic cylinder). Most of these failures are design, materials and structural integrity related one whereby safety standards are not fully satisfied. This paper address the issue of deploying and implementation of acceptable design codes for the design and structural analysis of a double acting double ends hydraulic cylinder basically for industrial automation applications. The maximum force is estimated to be 11 KN. The combination of Analytical and finite element analysis (FEA) methods was utilized for the development of the cylinder. These are to give credibility to the design for the purpose of future manufacture of the cylinder. The bursting pressure, longitudinal stress piston rod and piston diameter, barbell thickness was determined and analyzed. The methods used for this design work could provide significant knowledge and skill for young design engineers, and this cylinder product may be readily available to industrialist for manufacture.
