Applications and Solutions

Application Examples and Solutions

Hydraulic Test Cylinders are used in a wide variety of applications including automotive testing such as lifecycle tests, aerospace system tests such as load and environmental condition simulation, and fluid power operating condition simulation.

Automotive

Servo hydraulic lifecycle tests are the current industry standard for automobile components that are used far beyond safety-related structural elements. Users can depend on hydraulic test actuators for high positioning accuracy and reliability in applications for test systems and real time control. A test cylinder with a dynamic lift of up to 35 mm (1.3 in.), speed of 1.3 m/s (51.2 in/s), and acceleration of up to 50 m/s (1968.5 in/s) could be used for a test load requiring up to 28 kN (6,294 lbf) and a frequency up to 20 Hz.

Aerospace

System tests that simulate loads and environmental conditions in different flight phases are particularly demanding. To test the landing flaps and slats, servo hydraulic cylinders could be used here to replicate the airflow that involves rapidly changing forces with irregular parameters. For example, a servo cylinder with a bore between 40 to 160 mm (1.5 to 6.2 in.) could be used for a test stand with a holding force between 140 – 300 kN (31.4 to 67.4 lbf) and a stroke requirement of 300 to 1,670 mm (11.8 to 65.7 in.).

Fluid Power

To determine the characteristic values of a seal, seal test benches are suitable for simulating a wide range of operating conditions. Double rod cylinders could be used here for fatigue tests focused on examining the frictional force of the seals, tightness on rods and shafts.

How to Choose a Flow Divider

Flow Dividers 101

What are Flow Dividers?

When you have multiple motors or cylinders connected to one pump, they cannot operate simultaneously because power is not evenly distributed to each component. Flow dividers simplify this problem by splitting the flow from one source into two or more output parts, which can be equal or unequal.

Flow Divider Benefits

Flexible performance based on cost and accuracy

Low-cost requirements: ±4 to 5% sync error

General, standard applications: ±1.5 to 4% sync error

Extremely high tolerances: ±0 to 0.8% sync error

High pressure models: cast iron housing allows for high pressure and ruggedness

Synchronize multiple components: 2 to 12 sections for up to 12 actuators

Add system protection: optional pressure relief valves depending on system design

Simple plumbing: inlet ports are internally joined, so not every inlet requires external piping (though recommended for best flow division)

Common Designs

The most common designs include the gear-type and spool design. For applications requiring extremely high accuracy (greater than 99%), radial piston and volumetric designs work best.

Gear (2 to 12 sections): Gear flow dividers are a cost-effective way to divide flow without losing a large amount of energy or heat. Comparatively to spool dividers, these devices are more tolerant of contamination.

Spool (2 sections): This design relies on pressure compensation to divide flow and is limited to just two sections that can be split evenly, 50:50, or unequally. These are well-suited for applications where synchronization is flexible and complete accuracy is not a requirement.

Radial piston (2 to 12 sections): These are designed with high accuracy in mind, but have higher pressure drops than gear.

Volumetric (3 to 8 sections, 2 to 12 chambers): The volumetric design functions by volume dosage and the exchange between a volume synchronizer and working cylinders. The volumetric design is for high accuracy applications and has lower pressure drops compared to radial piston dividers.

How to Choose a Flow Divider

Radial Piston Flow Divider

How to Choose a Jahns Flow Divider

1. Main Specifications

First, identify the following parameters to match performance and sizing with system demands. This includes:

Number of sections

Input flow rate to flow divider

Operating pressure

2. Determine Application Accuracy and Model

Next, determine how much accuracy is required.

While flow dividers are precision components, some degree of synchronization error is normal. In short-stroke applications (where the cylinder travels a limited distance per cycle), a small percentage of error is often negligible and unlikely to affect performance. However, in long-stroke applications, even a small percentage of synchronization error can accumulate across the full cylinder travel, potentially leading to misalignment, uneven load sharing, and increased mechanical stress.

Models Based on Accuracy

Gear flow dividers are the standard choice for general operations. For applications demanding higher precision, consider radial piston or volumetric dividers. Divider valves can be used for applications that allow lower accuracy.

Divider Valves

Only for 2 flows/sections. Compact, economical model. Accuracy between ±4–±5%.

Gear Flow Dividers

Most popular and cost-effective model. Accuracy between ±1.5–±4%.

Radial Piston Flow Dividers

Tighter tolerances than gear models with larger pressure drops, accuracy between ±0.5–0.8%. Input flow rates starting at 13 gpm (50 lpm).

Volumetric Flow Dividers

Highest precision model, designed for applications requiring near perfect accuracy (no error).

The chart below compares synchronization accuracy across different models of flow and volumetric dividers.

The first ring splits dividers into groups: flow (light blue) and volume (dark blue). The second ring shows the type of divider. Flow dividers options include divider valves, gear, and radial piston while volumetric dividers include multi-chamber and linear stroke designs. The outer ring lists specific series models with their synchronization error.

As you follow the chart clockwise, accuracy improves with the level of error decreasing. For example, the MKA and MKS divider valves have an error of 4–5%. The next model, HTO gear divider, has better accuracy with errors as low as 3-4%.

Applications and Solutions

Application Examples and Solutions

Some common applications include synchronizing fluid motors and hydraulic cylinders, and intensifying pressure in hydraulic pumps. Our flow dividers are available with or without pressure relief valves to protect hydraulic systems from excessively high pressures.

Synchronization

In the case where multiple cylinders need to move something in sync, flow dividers offer a great solution. This is useful, for example, in lifting platforms, where the platform must remain level to prevent binding in the guiding mechanisms as well as for the objects on top of the platform.

Pressure Multiplication

Flow dividers can be utilized as a pressure multiplier. This type of hydraulic circuit can be used where a low-pressure circuit is already in use and where there is only need of high-pressure flow.

Hydraulic Driving

This is achieved by adding an extra section of equal or greater displacement to the flow divider. The return line of this section is connected directly to tank so that it in effect works as a motor for the other sections thereby increasing their outlet pressures.

There is a standard lead time of 4-6 weeks on gear and radial piston flow dividers with optional expedited shipping. For specific models, please reach out to us directly at sales@icfluid.com.

Check the flow divider and reset it as required (page 3-4). This adjustment is necessary at periodic intervals to ensure proper synchronization. Refer to page 5 for a schematic example and an explanation of synchronization compensation.

HLP, HFC, HFD, and HFA are all compatible fluids to be used in operation with flow dividers.

No, flow dividers do not work with telescopic cylinders.

Typically, the most common installation is on the piston side where the flow needs to be divided. However, both are possible.

Keep in mind: If the piston side corresponds to the maximum oil flow, then the flow divider on the rod side could be undersized when the cylinders are retracted using the same oil flow.

Set the integrated pressure valves to the cylinder’s working pressure plus 20 bar (290 psi). Ensure the system’s pressure relief valve is set above this value.

Check the pressure drop (Δp) across piping, valves, and the flow divider.

*If using a flow divider with valves to drive hydraulic motors, set those valves to their maximum.*

No, flow dividers are not designed to function as a load holding device. Additional components, such as pilot-operated check valves need to be included after the flow divider.

Hydraulic Rotary Actuators 101

What are Hydraulic Rotary Actuators?

In its simplest form, a hydraulic rotary actuator is a device that uses hydraulic fluid to generate rotary motion without a linkage. These devices come in handy when applications call for any form of transporting, securing, or positioning of parts.

How do Hydraulic Rotary Actuators Work?

In terms of design, hydraulic rotary actuators are most often configured as vane type, rack-and-pinon type, or helical spline actuators.

IC-Fluid Power’s rotary actuators are the helical spline design. This means, a piston and a helix, or sliding spline, work together to convert the linear motion of the piston into rotational motion. Helical spline actuators function when the piston is axially displaced using hydraulic pressure causing simultaneous rotation of the piston.

Hydraulic rotary actuators are typically designed to operate at low speeds and produce high torque through arc lengths ranging between 90°, 180°, 270°, and 360°. They also can be configured up to 720° or more by making the spline gears longer while maintaining the same diameter.

Hydraulic Rotary Actuator Benefits

Standard rotations of 90°, 180°, 220°, 270°, and 360° with custom options (some rotations vary by model)

Flexible actuator configurations with various shaft, bottom, and mounting styles

Adjust starting and end positioning by ±5° depending on the model.

Integral four-point bearing support (E3/SM4) and two-point bearing support (E1) for reduced friction

Available highly effective end cushioning may eliminate the need for expensive servo and proportional valves (optional).

Compact, low maintenance design due to helical spline technology,

Wear resistant moving parts with gas nitro-carburized and oxidized surfaces for a longer service life.

Available optional position feedback and monitoring for automation and testing applications.

Application Examples and Solutions

How to Choose the Right Hydraulic Actuator

Different actuator models typically depend on the system’s operating pressure. This is why it’s important to know the pressure required, along with other key factors including load capacity, rotation angle, rotation speed, and more.

Operating Pressure

First, determine the operating pressure. This is important to ensure the actuator is rated for the system pressure being used.

Torque

The amount of torque helps determine how the actuator will perform and how much it can handle, especially in terms of load capacity. The higher the torque output, the more load capacity the device will have.

Dynamic Movement

Next, determine if the rotary actuator will be used in highly dynamic applications, such as torque/torsion testing. If so, end-cushioning is important to have, along with a servo valve that can be mounted to the actuator to offer more control to the device.

End-Cushioning

End-cushioning is an important factor to consider for highly dynamic applications, such as when the actuator needs to function as an end stop in a load. End-cushioning acts as a hydraulic break to slow down the movement of the actuator so that it doesn’t slam into the end position causing damage to the device or the workpiece. The end-cushioning effect can be finely tuned using built-in orifices and set screws.

Mounting

Actuators can be mounted in different ways, along with different shaft styles. The actuator might have a flange mount, foot mount, or threaded holes in the actuator body. The shaft could be male or female with spline, key, or other shapes; as well as flange style.

Temperature

Typical hydraulic systems operate in an oil temperature range from -4°F to +240°F (-20°C to +60°C) in the same range. Actuators operate in the same range. If actuators need to operate above or below the standard temperature range, then special steels or special seal material may need to be used.

Mediums

The same applies to different mediums. Different mediums could require non-standard seals and different actuator materials.

Side Loads

If the application and actuator have side loads, the side loads need be absorbed separately from the actuator, or the actuator needs to be designed to accommodate the side loads. This is often done through the use of bearings. Eckart usually includes 4-point contact bearings as standard.

General Applications

Finally, it’s important to understand the general application. For example, will the device be going offshore? This might require special paint and special seals to protect the actuator from harsh seawater environments. As mentioned above, it’s important to know if the actuator will be used in testing applications, as special attention would be needed to make low-friction seals and a servo valve adapter plate.

Tipping Devices

Simple Tool Changes

Hydraulic otary actuators can function as simple tool changers. One example of this is using a rotary-linear actuator for a pallet changer that weighs 1,000 kg. This device is a combination of a rotary actuator and a dual-action linear cylinder, allowing for full flexibility in a minimal amount of space. Since the rotary actuator and the linear cylinder are hydraulically driven separately, any movement sequences can be selected: for example, rotating to the left and right, extending linearly, and retracting.

Gate Valve Control

A hydraulic rotary actuator could also be used for gate valve control too. While a rotary actuator may be more expensive than pneumatic actuators, these devices have a higher level of precision, require less space, and can achieve high torque outputs. Other uses for rotary actuators include linear actuation, bending machines, work piece positioning, rotational devices, and transport applications.

Tipping Devices

One common application is using a hydraulic rotary actuator for tipping devices. A helical rotary actuator, for example, would be a suitable option for bin tippers in waste management applications due to its high torque in a compact package.

Other Uses

Other uses for hydraulic rotary actuators include linear actuation, bending machines, work piece positioning, rotational devices, and transport applications.
