Effect of hydraulic cylinder end cover and bending moment on it

1. What is the function of the end cover on the hydraulic cylinder? In addition, if there is a buffer chamber inside, will it affect the movement speed of the cylinder?

The hydraulic cylinder end cover is divided into front and rear. If it is a front end cover, it has two functions of sealing oil and guiding. The rear end cover is used as the oil inlet and oil return interface. In addition, if there is a buffer chamber in the hydraulic cylinder, it will affect the movement speed, because its speed at the end of the stroke is relatively slow.

2. Can the hydraulic cylinder bear the bending moment?

Yes, but in terms of tolerance, it is not very big. If the hydraulic cylinder is arranged horizontally, no bending moment is allowed, as this will cause oil leakage in the cylinder. It also affects the sealing ring inside it. Hence, this requirement exists.
