Mold hydraulic cylinders are critical components in mold systems, directly affecting operational stability and efficiency. Below are five common failures and their solutions:
1. Oil Leakage
Cause: Worn or damaged seals.
Solution: Replace seals or repair sealing surfaces promptly. Regular inspection is recommended for prevention.
Recommended: SwissWing SWP Series oil cylinders with built-in filters – reduce contaminants and maintenance frequency.
2. Cylinder Sticking
Cause: Poor lubrication or contamination.
Solution: Clean the cylinder interior, ensure proper lubricant quality and quantity, and maintain a clean working environment.
3. Cylinder Fails to Operate
Cause: Faulty function or electrical circuits.
Solution: Inspect and repair or replace faulty components. Regularly maintain the control system.
4. Unsteady Cylinder Movement
Cause: Unstable hydraulic pressure or air inside the cylinder. Different length of hydraulic hoses, which lead to unsynchronized movement.
Solution: Adjust system pressure and choose venting option with all our cylinder to vent the air.
Recommended: SwissWing SW.FD Series high-precision synchronous flow dividers – ensure smooth multi-cylinder synchronization.
5. Overheating
Cause: System overload, poor lubrication or external heat transfer.
Solution: Reduce load and improve lubrication. Add water circuits.
