Hydraulic cylinders are hydraulic system parts widely used in various industries such as construction machinery, machine tools, robots, automobiles, and automation systems. The maximum capacity of vane pumps used in machine tools is 70bar, but the actual operating pressure is less than 50bar. The allowable pressure of a commercial hydraulic cylinder is 140 - 210 bar, so it is heavy and uneconomical because it uses thick and strong materials. In this paper, we intend to develop a small and lightweight hydraulic cylinder suitable for the allowable pressure of 50bar or less so that it can be used in the hydraulic system field. In order to develop a compact hydraulic cylinder, flow analysis, and structural analysis were conducted under piston forward and backward conditions. The analyzed flow rate value was calculated to be suitable for the operation of the hydraulic cylinder. As a result of comparing the stress calculated under the forward/backward condition of the piston with the yield stress of the material, the safety factor was calculated to be more than 2.5.

To develop a high pressure main drive hydraulic cylinder for concrete pumping car, it is essential to accurately predict the internal flow structure of the hydraulic cylinder and ensure structural stability. Therefore, in this study structural and buckling analysis were essentially used for safe design. From analysis results, the maximum equivalent stress occurred when the cylinder thickness was 15 mm and the hydraulic cylinder was deemed to be structurally safe. The buckling analysis of the hydraulic cylinder assembly showed that the critical load factor was from 1.3732 to 12.021 and the critical force factor in the entire area was not observed because the critical load factor was greater than 1. The average flow rate of cylinder was uniformly distributed and the flow rate error for the inlet and outlet port could be found to be approximately identical to that of 2 %.

This paper is a case study of reliability assessment with field warranty data of Clutch Master Cylinder (CMC) in hydraulic clutch system. We estimate lifetime distribution using field warranty data which contain much useful information for understanding reliability of the system in the real-world environments. However, the estimated parameters are far from existing reference values, which seems to be caused right censored field warranty data. To modify the parameters, we use the information of the durability test which is performed to verify that the lifetime of the item meets the required level. After that, we can observe that the modified parameters are closer to the existing reference values. This case study shows a possible idea to supplement lack of right censored field warranty data and its applicability.

The multistage double acting oil pressure cylinder can overcome limits of a stroke of cylinder. Development target of the multistage double acting oil pressure cylinder makes a overcome operation distance, in the case of transport of bodies or tension, contraction working. It's structure is composed that fluid flow pipelines are inserted in the cylinder. In the serial arrangement of reciprocating cylinders, the multistage double acting oil pressure cylinder can prevent a buckling or cylinder loss because assemble arrangement is simple type of insertion way. Using the MSC.Visual Nastran, the 3D simulation was executed. Through the 3D simulation, we ascertained that the multistage double acting oil pressure cylinder could be adapted to a elevation system.
