Crane Luffing Hydraulic Cylinder
Crane luffing cylinder is a kind of hydraulic cylinder mainly used to change the elevation angle of crane boom to meet different working requirements. Its structure is complex, usually including two levels of piston rods and four oil ports, with a long working stroke and short cylinder length when retracted, especially for large cranes.

Structure and Working Principle of Crane Luffing Cylinder
Crane luffing cylinder usually consists of the following parts:
- Cylinder body: made of high-strength steel, with good abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance, able to withstand greater pressure.
- Cylinder piston: controls the cylinder expansion and amplitude, the quality and performance of its seals directly affect the service life and safety performance of the cylinder.
- Seals: Ensure the sealing performance of the cylinder and prevent the hydraulic oil from leaking.
- Oil pipe: Connecting the cylinder and pump, conveying hydraulic oil.
The working principle is to control the luffing work through the luffing mechanism. The hydraulic oil is delivered from the oil pump to the oil cylinder, so that the piston extends and retracts outward, thus realizing the luffing function of the crane.
The control mode of the luffing mechanism has two kinds: manual and electric. Manual control requires the operator to use the handle, while the electric control is realized by controlling the solenoid valve through the electrical signal.
Crane Luffing Cylinder Types and Application Scenarios
Types of luffing cylinders include:
- Double-acting piston cylinder: The most common application, there are two oil ports. When the A port takes in oil, the B port returns the oil. The piston reciprocating movement depends on the action of the pressure oil.
- Single-acting piston cylinder: There is only one oil port. The pressure oil supplies oil to one side, and the plunger moves in one direction under pressure, while the return stroke is driven by gravity.
- Double-acting two-stage telescopic cylinder: Complex structure, suitable for large cranes.
Application scenarios mainly include:
- Small wheeled cranes: Usually use single-cylinder type luffing cylinders, which provide less thrust but are easy to adjust and maintain.
- Medium and large wheeled cranes: Use double-cylinder luffing cylinders, which provide large thrust, improve the lateral force of the lifting arm, and are mostly used in medium and large cranes.
