Counterbalance Cylinders vs Traditional Mechanical Solutions
Hyson™ Counterbalance Cylinders handle numerous applications where a holding force or counterbalance is needed. Examples include use as a safety feature on articulated trucks, holding tension in train and tramway cables, mining and industrial equipment, and robotic manufacturing equipment.
- Ability to create required force in less space
- Immediate force when stroked
- Easily adjust force by controlling cylinder pressure
Saves Space
When choosing to work with Counterbalance Cylinders, it is possible to reduce the size and weight of the application. This can be done thanks to the fact that the cylinders can counterbalance a very large force in relation to its size.
For example, Hyson cylinders can counterbalance up to several hundred times their own weight and utilize stroke lengths of up to 50% of the cylinder's total length.
Adjustable Force
The counterbalancing force of the cylinders can, at any time, be adjusted by easily altering the gas charge pressure. The reduction of size in applications is an advantage that allows added efficiency and flexibility. For example, smaller counterbalancing solutions in industrial robots make the robot smaller and the production line more efficient.
Stronger with Hyson
Hyson has developed a special series of counterbalancing cylinders with extremely long service lifetimes. They can be used in many different applications and can be customized to fit application specifications.
