4. 2005/2006 I. Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems4 Hydraulic cylinders Properties: The cylinders have to be good quality steel with close tolerances. There have to be good sealing both at the piston rod and at the cylinder. With time dirt may come in and damage the surfaces. This has to be possibly reduced. In this case, the leakage will increase all the time.

8. 2005/2006 I. Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems8 Hydraulic cylinders Cushioning of cylinders: A hard impact of the piston at the end surfaces has to be inhibited – kinetic energy has to be absorbed. This is done by increasing the hydraulic resistance at the end of the stroke.
