Air over oil intensifier circuit.

Typical air oil tank arrangement. When a machine needs a low to medium volume of high pressure oil and has long holding times use a reciprocating intensifier. The cylinder strokes are made to order and dictate output volume. The pump s usual discharge pressure is of the order of 16000 psi.

Riveting crimping punching swaging trimming marking or character stamping assembly notching joining forming and fastening models. Air input to the intensifier s spring return retracts the piston drawing in hydraulic oil from a reservoir and pumps it to the intensifier circuit at a pre defined output hydraulic to input air pressure ratio. The simple design offers a quick response and trouble free operation. If necessary to run a long exhaust line make it about two pipe sizes larger than the feed line.

This type of circuit requires very good cylinder seals to prevent air or oil transfer. As a result the output. The air operated pump delivers oil on to the top piston of the intensifier with the valves a and b shut. The optional stainless steel output cylinder can handle a wide range of liquids.

Air over oil tanks do not intensify the oil pressure regardless of the tank s diameter or length. Intensifiers also known as boosters use a large quantity of low pressure fluid to produce a smaller quantity of higher pressure fluid. Air input to the intensifier s spring return retracts the piston drawing in hydraulic oil from a reservoir and pumps it to the intensifier circuit at a pre defined output hydraulic to input air pressure ratio.

When control is only necessary in one direction the tank on the uncontrolled side can be omitted. Too much back pressure in the exhaust line may cause some intensifiers to stall. Intensifier is filling with oil. A parker fluidpower intensifier is an efficient way of generating high pressure hydraulic fluid.

More cost efficient alternative to full hydraulic cylinder. Air oil intensifier circuit with purchased reciprocating intensifier. Its operation is quite simple. There are three classes of intensifiers.

4 tons 8 tons 10 tons 15 tons 20 tons 30 tons 50 tons 4 tons to 50 tons of hydraulic force. A vented spring chamber eliminates back pressure. Click here to view a sample circuit drawing. Intensified oil circuit all components in the high pressure hydraulic or air circuit should have a safety factor of at least 6 1.

Most manufacturers offer single acting intensifiers as standard and double acting intensifiers as an option. Pressurized fluid either air or oil enters the intensifier and acts on a confined piston. Single shot design incorporates various ratios between the air piston supply and intensified air or oil output. This in turn drives a smaller diameter ram or piston to deliver a given volume of fluid.
