Hydraulic Damper

Hello Guys,

I need some help. This photo is showing a dampener system (hydraulic cylinder and double accumulators).

SWL of the system is 50 Ton.

The movement of the pivoted point is very minor (I think not more than 3 degrees).

So, I am not familiar with the system, do you know if there is any type of valves that is needed to be attached to the cylinder for the damper also?
Also, what type of hydraulic cylinder is that? I saw one side of the rod already corroded (not sure if that side is also for working) or maybe it is covered by Denso tape?.
If you can give me a link to the supplier I will be really appreciate.

Thanks in advance.

I think I have to create the system from scratch. so I have this diagram, but still in doubt about the hydraulic cylinder configuration. not sure if the spring in the cylinder is still necessary. Any idea would be appreciated. Untitled.png

Hi [Name],

Yes, for a hydraulic damper system with accumulators and limited pivot movement (~3°), you’ll typically need:

Flow control valve – to manage damping speed

Check or overcenter valve – for safety and load holding

Relief valve – to handle pressure spikes

The cylinder might be a double-rod type if both ends are visible. If one rod appears corroded or wrapped, it could be a non-working end, possibly protected with Denso tape.
