Dual piston cylinders eliminate rotation through symmetrical piston design while doubling force output compared to single-piston units, providing superior stability and power for demanding industrial applications requiring precise linear motion and high thrust capabilities.
Non-return and pilot-operated check valves provide essential flow control by preventing reverse flow through spring-loaded mechanisms and pilot-controlled opening systems, ensuring system safety, protecting equipment from damage, and maintaining optimal pressure conditions in pneumatic and hydraulic circuits.
Vertical-up cylinder sizing requires calculating static load plus gravity compensation, adding dynamic acceleration forces, incorporating safety factors of 1.5-2.0, and selecting appropriate bore sizes to overcome gravitational resistance while maintaining desired lifting speeds and reliability.
Water hammer in pneumatic systems is caused by rapid pressure changes when air flow is suddenly interrupted, creating destructive shock waves that can damage components, cause system failures, and lead to costly downtime.
Water hammer effect in cylinders is mitigated through controlled deceleration using flow control valves, pressure relief systems, accumulator tanks, and soft-stop cushioning mechanisms that gradually reduce fluid velocity and absorb pressure spikes during mid-stroke stopping operations.
