Abstract

This paper analyse through the finite element method (FEM) the hydraulic cylinder of linear hydraulic motor from horizontal Hydraulic Press – 2 MN. The analysis of the hydraulic cylinder of linear hydraulic motor from horizontal Hydraulic Press – 2 MN was made for determination of displacements and deformations. A three-dimensional model of the hydraulic cylinder with a complex geometry was generated based on the designed data. Finite element analysis was performed using COSMOSWorks software. Good agreement between predicted and measured results was obtained for hydraulic cylinder establishing the finite element method as an accurate analysis tool.
