WELD-ON EYELET TYPE-THREAD

The thread-type actuator eye is one of the key assembly components used in hydraulic power hydraulics. It is a connecting element that enables a stable and movable connection between a hydraulic cylinder and other machine components. Thanks to the threaded end, assembly is quick, precise and easy, making it ideal for agriculture, industry, construction and other sectors that use hydraulic systems.

In this article, we will introduce the characteristics of thread-type lugs, their use, advantages and tips for proper selection and installation.

What is a thread type actuator eye?

A thread-type actuator eye is a structural element equipped with an external or internal thread that allows direct mounting on the piston rod of a hydraulic cylinder. In the central part of the eye there is a through hole, which is used to fix the pin. Thus, the eye allows a mobile and stable connection of the actuator to the structural elements of the machine.

Its robust design and simple installation make it widely used in many systems requiring reliable operation under heavy loads.

Advantages of thread-type actuator lugs

1. Easy and quick installation
   • The threaded end allows the ear to be easily bolted to the actuator piston rod without the need for additional welding.
2. Movable connection
   • The eye with a through hole for the pin ensures the mobility of the connection, which is essential in dynamic hydraulic systems.
3. Rugged construction
   • Made of durable steel, the lugs are resistant to mechanical stress, abrasion and intensive use.
4. Precision of manufacture
   • The accuracy of the thread and the through hole ensures the durability of the connection and its reliability even in harsh operating conditions.
5. Universal application
   • The availability of lugs in various sizes and with different types of threads allows them to fit a wide range of hydraulic cylinders.

Applications for threaded-type cylinder lugs

Threaded lugs are used in a wide range of industry and technology sectors, including:

1. Agricultural machinery
   • In hydraulic cylinders used in tractors, trailers, loaders or cultivation and harvesting machinery.
2. Construction machinery
   • In excavators, loaders, cranes and other construction equipment that require precise and movable cylinder connections.
3. Industry
   • In hydraulic presses, lifting systems, production lines and control systems.
4. Transportation and logistics
   • In hydraulic lifting systems, elevators and jacks.
5. Structural systems
   • In steel support structures requiring permanent connections to hydraulic cylinders.

How to choose the right eye for a thread-type actuator?

Choosing the right eye for a thread-type actuator depends on several key factors:

1. Thread type and size
   • Match the thread of the eye (metric or inch) to the thread of the actuator piston rod. Choose the right size to ensure a precise connection.
2. Diameter of the through hole
   • The hole must be compatible with the size of the pin that will be used to mount the eye.
3. Material of manufacture
   • Bet on lugs made of high-quality steel to guarantee durability and resistance to mechanical stress.
4. Working conditions
   • If the ear will be exposed to harsh conditions, such as moisture, dust or corrosion, choose components with a protective coating, such as galvanized.
5. Type of load
   • For high dynamic loads, choose lugs with reinforced construction.

Installation of lugs to the actuator type of thread

1. Checking the thread
   • Make sure that the thread of the eye is compatible with the thread of the actuator piston rod. Clean the surface of any dirt.
2. Thorough screwing
   • Screw the eye onto the piston rod, tightening it with enough torque to ensure a firm and stable connection.
3. Installing the pin
   • Install a pin into the through hole of the eye, which will connect the actuator to the rest of the components.
4. Lubrication
   • Apply a suitable lubricant to the pin and the contact surface to minimize friction and extend the life of the connection.
5. Post-assembly inspection
   • Check the correctness of the assembly and the stability of the connection before commissioning the hydraulic system.

Summary

Thread-type actuator eye is a reliable solution for fast, stable and mobile installation of hydraulic cylinders. Thanks to its sturdy design, precise workmanship and easy installation, it is used in many industries, from agriculture and construction to industry and transportation.
