Steering Assist Cylinder Hyd 2.5″ Bore 16″ Stroke
A steering assist cylinder hyd 2.5″ bore 16″ stroke is a type of hydraulic cylinder that is specifically designed to be used in a vehicle’s steering system. It is a double-acting cylinder, which means that it can be extended and retracted by applying hydraulic fluid to either side of the piston. The bore is the diameter of the cylinder, and the stroke is the length that the piston can travel. In this case, the cylinder has a bore of 2.5 inches and a stroke of 16 inches.
Hydraulic steering systems use hydraulic fluid to assist the driver in turning the wheels. The steering assist cylinder is connected to the steering linkage, and when the driver turns the steering wheel, a hydraulic valve is activated which directs fluid to one side of the cylinder. This causes the piston to extend or retract, which in turn helps to turn the wheels.
Steering assist cylinders are typically used in larger vehicles, such as trucks and buses, where it can be difficult for the driver to turn the wheels without assistance. They can also be used in some performance cars, where they can help to improve handling.
