Trunnion mounted cylinders are equipped with trunnion brackets at both ends of the cylinder, which provide a fixed pivot point for rotational movement. This mounting style is well-suited for applications that require the cylinder to rotate around its mounting axis, allowing for smooth and controlled movement. Trunnion mounting is often used in machinery where precise angular motion is required, such as in heavy lifting equipment and automated systems.
The trunnion mount design enhances stability and load distribution by ensuring that the cylinder is securely anchored at both ends, reducing stress and potential wear on the cylinder. This mounting method provides reliable performance and durability, making it ideal for applications involving frequent or heavy-duty operations. The trunnion mounted cylinder's ability to handle angular movements efficiently contributes to its widespread use in complex and demanding hydraulic systems.
