How To Remove Rotary Lift Cylinder

Prophylactic instructions

Follow the manufacturer'south instructions on hydraulic cylinder storage, transport and lifting.

Be careful when lifting heavy loads. Make sure that lifting plates and shackles are properly used. Brand sure that the lifting slings are correctly positioned at the lifting point. Make sure that the overhead crane cables pull directly up then that the function to be lifted can not swing and crusade a hazardous situation.

WARNING: Crushing hazard and impact take a chance. Follow the mill instructions while lifting heavy loads.

Alarm:Crushing hazard and affect hazard. Follow the working methods described in these instructions in order to avoid a crushing hazard and an bear upon hazard.

Hydraulic cylinder replacement

The post-obit are full general replacement instructions for hydraulic cylinders. If there are no detailed instructions in the operating and maintenance manual provided with the equipment or in the hydraulic cylinder manufacturer'southward instructions, follow the instructions below when replacing a hydraulic cylinder.

Preparative actions

1. Stop the equipment.

Alert:Unexpected kickoff-up. In club to prevent an unexpected kickoff, the equipment must be in a safety state during maintenance and repair work. Refer to factory safe instructions for maintenance.

ii. Ensure that the devices to be maintained and other devices in the maintenance expanse are in a condom position. If the device has safety latches, the device must be supported by the safety latches. If the device does non have prophylactic latches, set the device into such a position from which it cannot lower or swing due to gravity.

iii. If the device still tin can lower or swing after these measures, control the device into such a position in which the device can be locked in place with blocking or restraining devices.

4. Lower the loads that are supported by hydraulics downwardly or onto mechanical locks and then that they exercise non cause any pressure in the system with their weight.

WARNING:Loftier-force per unit area fluid ejection take chances. Follow mill maintenance instructions on hydraulics.

v. Turn off the hydraulic pump. Close the close-off valve in the hydraulic circuit valve cabinet before maintenance. Release the pressure from the circuit before maintenance.

6. Close the close-off valve for compressed air supply to the valve cabinet before maintenance. Release the pressure from the excursion earlier maintenance.

Warning:High-force per unit area gas ejection hazard. Follow manufacturing plant maintenance instructions on pneumatics.

vii. Disconnect the winder energy sources. Belch the stored energy.

WARNING:Unexpected kickoff-upwards. Disconnect the energy sources. Refer to the mill instructions for disconnecting equipment free energy sources.

Removal of hydraulic cylinder

one. Lock the device in its place for cylinder replacement. Use lines, chain hoist, or crane to prevent the device from moving during cylinder maintenance.

2. Brand sure that the cylinder to exist replaced is not pressurized.

iii. Measure the hydraulic cylinder assembly dimension.

four. If necessary, remove any covers that could possibly prevent the cylinder replacement.

5. Take the hydraulic cylinder into back up. Use lifting equipment that is robust enough considering the lifting method and the load.

Annotation:Brand sure that the office to be removed cannot swing and crusade a chancy situation.

6. Disassemble the hydraulic hoses or hydraulic pipes so that the hydraulic cylinder can exist lifted away. Take the hydraulic pipes on back up, if necessary.

7. Protect the connection holes of the hydraulic cylinder and the ends of the hydraulic pipes.

eight. Dismount the hydraulic cylinder supports.

WARNING:Crushing and impact hazard. Remove the concluding mounting carefully. If the hydraulic cylinder is not properly supported, the hydraulic cylinder may swing.

ix. Lower the cylinder carefully.

Hydraulic cylinder installation

i. Before installation bank check the following in the hydraulic cylinder.
- The hydraulic cylinder is intended for the place in question.
- The hydraulic cylinder connections are of the correct size and in correct places.
- The hydraulic cylinder seals are of the correct blazon.
- The hydraulic cylinder end damping is of the correct type.
- The hydraulic cylinder fittings are correct.

2. Clean and lubricate lightly with oil the visible part of the piston rod.

3. If the eye bearing or other parts are to be lubricated afterwards, lubricate the bearings of the fasteners.

iv. Adjust the installation measure of the hydraulic cylinder to the value measured higher up. Lock the center fastened to the piston rod. If you are not sure about the mensurate, compare the measured value to the installation measure mentioned in the hydraulic cylinder assembly drawing of the device.

NOTE:The assembly dimension of the one-time cylinder is normally a good footing for the installation of the new cylinder.

Annotation:If the hydraulic cylinder stroke must be pulled to the other cease, remove the protective plugs of the hydraulic cylinder connexion holes.

5. If the hydraulic cylinder is equipped with end dampening, adjust the cease dampening of the new hydraulic cylinder to exist the same equally in the old hydraulic cylinder.

half-dozen. Check that the hydraulic cylinder connection holes are set in the correct direction.

7. Lift the hydraulic cylinder into its place.

8. Fasten the hydraulic cylinder into its place.

9. Tighten the fasteners of the hydraulic cylinder.

10. Remove the remaining protective plugs and guards.

11. Spike the hydraulic pipes or hydraulic hoses.

12. Remove the lifting equipment from the hydraulic cylinder, if necessary.

13. Remove the device support and restraining carefully.

WARNING:Crushing and bear upon take chances. Remove the last mounting carefully. If the hydraulic cylinder is non properly supported, the hydraulic cylinder may swing.

Completing actions

1. Fasten the removed guards in their places.

two. Refer to manufacturing plant instructions on connecting equipment free energy sources.

three. If the hydraulic cylinder is equipped with test couplings, connect the a measuring hose with a quick coupling to them and apply it to drain the cylinder. Bleed the hydraulic cylinder by controlling the device into the direction that was used for the last time. Run the hydraulic cylinder repeatedly betwixt habitation and piece of work position until the movement is smoothen and there is no air in the hydraulic system.

iv. Adjust the end cushion of the new hydraulic cylinder until the device does not slam at the stroke end any more. Adjustment is sufficient when both sides of the device move synchronized and without a slam to the farthermost position.

5. Make sure after a few work cycles that the adjustments stay in their places.
