Design II 

Hydraulic Telescopic cylinder 

 

Basic principal  

it's down to the design of the cylinder heads. In this example, the larger cylinders' edges lie 
flat on the bottom of the ram - no fluid can access them until they are pulled up by 
pressure on the smaller one. There is still a pressure jump when these new surfaces are 
made to be affected.​

This example includes a​ Single acting cylinder​ and it counts on its weight and gravity to 
come back to its initial state .  
Doctor’s project needs a D
​ ouble acting cylinder ​that can be controlled on the other end 
by injecting oil in the opposite direction

The green arrow represent the oil pressure that will flow to inner cylinder to push it back  
Which in return will push the outer cylinder end with it .  

The yellow part is an assembly. For example it consists of a body (pipe) and a bottom. They 
are fixed together by thread. So no problem to assemble the blue part. In my videos for 
simplicity, generally the parts that are fixed together are shown as one part.

Objectives 
 

1- Solidworks Detailed drawing 

2- Design calculation based on the following considerations :  

1. The Wheel are free to rotate ( Bending 

can happen in any direction ) 
2. The top plate size should be less than 
the wheels plate to prevent flipping  
3. Our main load is Humans , So we 
should calculate how many should be 
on top for a stable condition ( Stability 
analysis )  
4. Sealing to prevent oil leakage and bolts  
5. Buckling and Bending analysis
