Frequently asked questions on our hydraulic components
What are hydraulic components used for in mould making?
Hydraulic components are used wherever high forces are required with limited installation space. Typical applications are actuating slides, locking mould inserts and clamping and positioning within the mould.
Which hydraulic cylinders are suited for mould making?
Depending on the application, compact cylinders for attachment, compact build-in cylinders for installation directly into the cavity plate and locking cylinders for high injection forces are available. All of these are designed to meet the particular requirements of mould and die making.
What are the advantages of hydraulic cylinders from Meusburger?
Our hydraulic cylinders offer a compact design, high process reliability and easy integration into existing mould and die designs. Standard FKM seals enable operating temperatures of up to 180 °C, while CAD data including installation spaces makes the design process easier.
Does Meusburger provide suitable CAD data for the design process?
Yes, the CAD data including installation spaces is available immediately for our hydraulic components. This helps to speed up the design process and avoid potential errors already in the planning stage.
What accessories are available for the hydraulic cylinders?
The range includes coupling pins and adapters, magnetic proximity sensors, matching cables, sealing sets, assembly tools, and also components for hose lines and connections such as fittings and flat-sealing, low-leakage hydraulic couplings. This means you can find all the components you need for installation, operation and maintenance in one place.
Are there solutions available for position monitoring?
Yes, select hydraulic cylinders can be fitted with magnetic proximity sensors for electronic position monitoring. The matching cables, connectors and logic distributors are also available for easy signal transmission.
What advantages do standard hydraulic components have to offer?
Standardised components make the design and procurement processes easier and shorten project lead times. Designers, mould and die makers and purchasers alike benefit from coordinated products, high availability and transparent prices. A further advantage is that when spare parts are needed the hydraulic cylinders are available for immediate dispatch and don’t need to first be manufactured.
Are the hydraulic components from Meusburger available quickly?
Yes, the products can be ordered directly in our web shop. Thanks to standardisation they are available from stock and don’t need to be manufactured first.
