Hydraulic Cylinder Barrel
hydraulic cylinder barrel | Pneumatic Cylinder Barrel
A hydraulic cylinder barrel is the main cylindrical body of a hydraulic cylinder, used in linear motion applications. The barrel contains the hydraulic fluid (typically oil) that generates force to extend and retract the piston (rod) inside the cylinder.
- Material: Typically made of high-strength steel or aluminum to withstand pressure and stress from the hydraulic fluid.
- Function: The barrel connects the cylinder head and rod, with fluid pressure either extending or retracting the piston as required by the application.
