Double-Action Damping Cylinders 210 bar // series HZD4
General information
The HZD4 series cylinders are double-action pressure cylinders with end position damping that are universally applicable due to their various models and sealing variants. The damping is not adjustable. The piston rod guide is designed to be screwable for maintenance tasks. The piston rod consists of hightensile structural steel with an approximately 25µm hard chromium-plated layer. Other materials and coatings are available on request.
Please consult us in case of radial forces and non-vertical installation.

Theoretical cylinder force in [kN] (efficiency = 100%)

Extemsion Movement
FB = m x a + AK x p | FB [N] | = | Braking force |
m [kg] | = | Moved mass | |
AK [cm²] | = | Piston area | |
p [N/cm²] | = | System pressure | |
v [m/s] | = | Stroke speed | |
s [m] | = | Damping distance | |
a [m/s²] | = | Delay | |
a=v²/2s |
Retraction movement
FB = m x a + AR x p | FB [N] | = | Braking force |
m [kg] | = | Moved mass | |
AK [cm²] | = | Piston area | |
p [N/cm²] | = | System pressure | |
v [m/s] | = | Stroke speed | |
s [m] | = | Damping distance | |
a [m/s²] | = | Delay | |
= | 1 bar ~ 10 |
For vertical installation, the weight force of the outer load and the piston rod must be added to or subtracted from the braking force FB. The cylinder friction is not taken into consideration in the calculation.
Calculation of the average damping pressure
PD = FB/AD | PD [N/ cm²] | = | Average damping pressure |
FB [N] | = | Braking force | |
AK [cm²] | = | Effective damping area | |
1 bar ~ 10 |
If the average damping pressure is too high, either the damping length or the system pressure must be reduced.
