Mitigating Low-Speed Crawling and Jitter in Telescopic Hydraulic Cylinders Through Stick-Slip Dynamics Analysis and Friction Reduction Strategies

Abstract

This study investigates the mechanisms of jittering in telescopic cylinders and proposes effective mitigation strategies. The focus is on the dynamic behavior of hydraulic cylinders under low-speed conditions, particularly the stick-slip phenomenon. Through finite element analysis using abaqus and tribological tests, the impact of various factors on the friction and wear properties of cylinder components is examined. Findings reveal that optimizing the average friction coefficient, stick-slip amplitude, and stick-slip time can significantly reduce jitter and creep in hydraulic cylinders. The results provide valuable insights for improving the performance and longevity of hydraulic systems in engineering machinery.
