Und wie haben die hersteller der hydraulik aufgehört, defekte teile der chrom zurückzubringen

In the hydraulic cylinder industry, the integrity of the piston rod is everything. A single scratch on a Chrome Plated Bar or a dent on a Honed Tube can destroy the hydraulic seal, leading to catastrophic cylinder failure. Yet, many manufacturers still use forklifts to drag these heavy, mirror-finished bars out of static racks. The Teleskop-Kragarmregal is the industry standard solution for fluid power manufacturers. By allowing for 100% drawer extension, it enables operators to lift delicate, heavy bars vertically using soft slings and overhead cranes. This “Touchless Extraction” guarantees that the chrome surface remains flawless from storage to machining. Wenden sie sich an experten.

The Density Challenge of Solid Steel

Chrome plated bars (typically IHCP or CPO bars) are solid steel. They are incredibly dense. A standard static cantilever rack often cannot handle the point loads generated by stacking these bars multiple levels high. This forces shops to spread inventory out on the floor, wasting thousands of square feet.

Our racks are engineered for this specific extreme density. With arm capacities reaching 11,000 lbs (5,000 kg) per level, you can stack 20ft bundles of solid 4140 steel bars five or six levels high safely. The robust engineering ensures that even when fully loaded drawers are extended, the rack remains rigid with zero deflection.

Feeding the CNC Turning Centers

In a cylinder shop, the workflow is usually Storage -> Saw -> CNC Lathe. The speed of this transition dictates your output. If a machinist has to wait 20 minutes for a forklift driver to dig out a specific diameter of rod, that’s 20 minutes of lost machining time.

By placing a Teleskop-Kragarmregal directly next to the saw or turning center, you enable “Point-of-Use” efficiency. The machine operator can crank out the drawer, pick the single bar they need with a jib crane, and load the machine in under 3 minutes. This autonomy keeps the spindles turning and the chips flying.

Safety: Handling Heavy Rounds

Round bars are notorious for rolling. When strapping is cut on a floor stack, heavy bars can roll uncontrollably, crushing feet and breaking ankles. This is a top OSHA citation risk in metalworking shops.

The telescopic system manages this risk with engineered arm retainers and a controlled access environment. The bars are contained within the rack structure. When a drawer is extended, it locks in place. The operator stands clear while the crane does the lifting. This separation of man and material significantly reduces the risk of crushing injuries associated with handling round stock.

Preventing “Flat Spots” and Bending

For long, slender piston rods (e.g., 24ft long, 2-inch diameter), improper support causes sagging. Over time, this bow becomes permanent. When you try to machine a bowed bar, it whips in the lathe, causing vibration and poor tolerances.

Our racks are custom-configured with the correct number of support columns to ensure minimal deflection. By supporting the bar at appropriate intervals (e.g., every 3-4 feet), we ensure the raw material remains perfectly straight, reducing setup time and runout issues at the lathe.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

1. Can the rack hold both heavy bars and hollow tubes?
Yes. The arms are universal. You can store heavy solid piston rods on the lower levels and lighter honed tubes or cylinder barrels on the upper levels of the same rack unit.

2. How do you prevent the chrome from touching the steel arms?
We offer specialized arm protection options. We can install UHMW (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) strips or durable rubber liners on top of the steel arms to provide a soft, non-marring resting surface for the chrome bars.

3. Is the electric drive required for solid bars?
For extremely heavy solid bars (approaching 8,000-10,000 lbs per drawer), we highly recommend the electric drive option (as seen in the header image). It ensures smooth, effortless operation and reduces operator fatigue, though manual crank versions are available for lighter loads.

4. How much floor space does the base take up?
As shown in the image above, the base is compact but robust. For a single-sided unit, the base depth is roughly equal to the arm length plus the column. We use heavy-duty chemical anchors to secure it, minimizing the footprint while maximizing stability.

5. Can I store short cut-offs?
Yes. We can provide solid steel decking or mesh grating that sits on top of the cantilever arms. This creates a solid shelf level, allowing you to store short remnants and cut pieces without them falling through.
