CAD software cuts hydraulic design time
New 3D CAD software from Parker Hannifin looks set to simplify hydraulic cylinder selection and integration in heavy duty industrial applications using the company's advanced MMA 'mill' type hydraulic cylinders.
The new CAD software generates 2-D and 3-D drawings in standard industry formats, for use with all common design and modelling software, and will help engineers reduce system design time, while improving functionality and performance.
Parker's MMA range of standard and custom built 'mill' type hydraulic cylinders is rated for pressures up to 250bar and has been developed for use demanding applications, such as steel and rolling mills, mining and quarrying, and marine equipment.
In each case, MMA cylinders offer a robust, reliable construction. This is based on high tensile carbon alloy steel, hard chrome plated piston rods, polished to within 0.2microns, with heavy duty steel cylinder bodies, featuring head and cap ends bolted to tough steel flanges and retained by threads at each end of the cylinder body.
