Cylinder types
All hydraulic circuits require the need for valves. In many cases integrating these into the cylinder offers significant safety, space saving and design simplicity improvements.
There are multiple ways for this to be achieved, often by machining these directly into the base/gland end of the cylinder, or by pad-mounted manifold blocks.
Motus are specialists in the design and manufacture of these and can offer both short-run prototypes through to high volume production runs.
A Motus cylinder with its valve block, counterbalance valve and transfer tube built in.
Port transfer tubing is available from 6mm to 36mm diameters in both ZP DIN and heavy-wall (welded) materials. Or where space constraints occur, oil flow can be directed through and external tube housing that fits over the barrel, or through the barrel side wall.
Motus engineers use CAD 3D modelling and FEA simulation analysis assisting the aim to provide robust and compact valve blocks and integrated bases
Large range of valves available including: pilot-check, counterbalance, pressure and thermal relief, sequencing, proportional, solenoid operated and velocity fuses. Cartridge valves from all major suppliers globally can be incorporated
Manufacturing capabilities for manifold blocks in a range of different materials such as U400-15 cast iron, 1045 carbon steel, 6061-T6 aluminium and 2205 stainless steel. Surface treatments can be provided accordingly.
