Riverlake News

From July 15 to August 1, 2025, RIVERLAKE engineers, led by Mr. Bob, deployed to Australia. Working in close collaboration with our exclusive Australian dealer, STRUXIT PTY LTD, the team provided expert training and guided the successful bearing replacement operation at the world-class Royal Hills iron ore mine. The complex procedure was executed using RIVERLAKE’s advanced 8-point synchronous lifting system, ensuring precise alignment and control throughout. The entire operation proceeded smoothly and achieved outstanding results, minimizing downtime for this critical Australian mining asset. This successful project at Royal Hills – a major integrated iron ore mining, rail, and port operation – underscores RIVERLAKE’s expertise in delivering innovative and reliable heavy lifting solutions for the global mining industry. See the project in action! Videos and images from the operation are available below:

The hydraulic cylinder often has a jumping and stopping movement state during operation, which we call creeping phenomenon. This phenomenon is especially easy to occur at low speed, which is also one of the main faults of hydraulic cylinder.To solve the problem of hydraulic cylinder creep, we must study the cause of this phenomenon. After summarizing, we found that the cause for hydraulic cylinder creep not only have something to do with the hydraulic cylinder itself and also related to other factors outside the cylinder. Let’s talk about it today. Internal causes of hydraulic cylinder creep failure ① There is residual air in the cylinder, and the working medium forms an elastic body. Troubleshooting method: Fully exhaust the air; check whether the diameter of the hydraulic pump suction pipe is too small, and the suction pipe joint should be well sealed to prevent the pump from sucking air. ② The sealing friction is too large. Troubleshooting method: The piston rod and the guide sleeve are

Hydraulic cylinders are widely used in engineering machinery, machine tool equipment, automobile manufacturing, metallurgy and mining, aerospace and other fields. So, how are hydraulic cylinders produced? 1. Preliminary preparation 1.1 Design Hydraulic components and sealing components have different requirements in terms of dimensional tolerance, surface roughness, shape and position tolerance, etc. Therefore, the geometric accuracy of each component must be ensured and the correct seal must be selected during design. 1.2 Steel material selection: Commonly used steels are #20 steel, #45 steel, and 40Cr. The hardness of the steel is different, the applicable working conditions are different, and the price is also different, so comprehensive consideration is required. 2.The Production Processing 2.1 Cylinder body Generally, seamless steel pipes without bending or deformation are selected. In order to ensure its good toughness and plasticity, it needs to go through a series of processing. Cut the steel pipe into required length. Threads are machined on the inner walls of both ends of

In hydraulic systems, hydraulic cylinders are widely used in a variety of scenarios such as heavy lifting operations, propulsion operations, and driving operations. In these systems, the synchronous operation of multiple hydraulic cylinders is an important part of ensuring the efficient and safe operation of the equipment. The synchronization of hydraulic cylinders can not only improve the efficiency of operations, but also avoid equipment damage caused by inconsistent movement. This article will explore in depth the principles of the synchronous movement of multiple hydraulic cylinders, common synchronization methods, technical challenges, and precautions during operation. 1. Working principle of hydraulic cylinder synchronization Hydraulic cylinder synchronization means that multiple cylinders extend or retract at the same speed and force at the same time. The core lies in the uniform distribution of hydraulic fluid and the precise control of pressure. The realization of synchronous operation depends on the following key factors: Fluid dynamics: The basic principle of the hydraulic system is to use

Project Manager Mr. Igor from our customer in The Czech Republic came to the RIVERLAKE factory workshop for quality inspection of 96 units of 150-ton CLRG series double-acting hydraulic cylinders. Detail tests were carried out to measure the cylinder dimensions, inner and external cylinder appearance, and static and dynamic load testing on a test bench. Everything went smoothly and both parties signed an acceptance protocol.
