Experimental Study on Friction of Hydraulic Cylinder in Different Sealing Systems

The friction of the hydraulic cylinder mainly comes from the sealing part, the existence of friction leads the wear of the seal. In view of the serious impact of the damage of the seal on the hydraulic cylinder, a set of sealing test system was designed, for the purpose of investigation and analysis on the performance of different sealing kit configuration, in terms of friction with given hydraulic medium. In this paper, there will be the introduction of the principles, constitutions and functions of the testing system. The experimental results provide data support for the design and selection of sealing system of the hydraulic cylinder
