Design and Simulation Analysis of the Multi-Stage Linear Synchronous Expanding and Contracting Hydraulic Cylinder

Abstract

A double-action three-stage synchronous expanding and contracting hydraulic cylinder has been designed based on the principle of synchronous expanding and contracting hydraulics cylinder. The Principle of linear synchronous expanding and contracting hydraulics cylinder and the main points of design have been discussed. Modeling and simulation are conducted in AMESim system and the result shows that the multi-stage cylinder can expand and contract synchronously and smoothly. As long as the effective area is proportional, the multi-stage cylinder can move linearly.
