Hydraulic cylinder, referred to as cylinder, is an important executive element in the hydraulic system. It plays the role of an executive element in the entire hydraulic machinery. Its function is to convert hydraulic energy into linear, swinging and reciprocating mechanical motion. The oil cylinder converts hydraulic energy into mechanical energy.
The hydraulic cylinder is generally composed of five parts: cylinder barrel and cylinder head, piston and piston rod, sealing device, buffer device and exhaust device. As an important strategic emerging industry with huge development potential, equipment manufacturing industry has developed in a healthy and orderly manner under the guidance and promotion of a series of policies and measures intensively introduced by the state and local governments in recent years.
Hydraulic cylinders are mainly used in forging machinery, injection molding machines, machine tools, machining centers, robots, mining machinery, packaging machinery, etc. in industrial production. In mobile machinery, it is mainly used in construction machinery, construction machinery, agricultural machinery, automobiles, etc.
According to the "2021-2026 Hydraulic Cylinder Industry Competition Pattern and "14th Five-Year Plan" Enterprise Investment Strategy Research Report" released by the China Research Institute
With the rapid development of my country's hydraulic industry, the market size of my country's hydraulic cylinder industry is on the rise. Driven by the development of downstream industries, the output of hydraulic cylinders has grown steadily. In 2009, the output of hydraulic cylinders in my country was 8.959 million units. In 2020, the output of hydraulic cylinders in my country increased to 72.223 million units.
After years of development, my country's hydraulic industry has made great progress, but there are still many gaps compared with the world's advanced level. In order to meet the needs of main engines, imported main engines and major technical equipment, a large number of hydraulic products are imported every year. With the continuous breakthrough of products and technologies by my country's hydraulic enterprises, the import substitution of some hydraulic products has been realized. In 2020, the import volume of my country's hydraulic cylinders is 2.235 million units, and the export volume is 8.652 million units.
Hydraulic cylinder is one of the core components of hydraulic transmission. According to different pressures, it can be divided into low-pressure, medium-high and high-pressure cylinders. Large-scale construction machinery such as excavators mostly use high-pressure cylinders. The products of high-pressure oil cylinders are mainly used in the downstream large-scale infrastructure equipment, marine engineering equipment and industrial equipment industries. The development of these industries has a direct impact on the market demand for high-pressure oil cylinders.
The Action Plan for the Sustainable and Healthy Development of the Offshore Engineering Equipment Manufacturing Industry proposes to continuously strengthen the degree of specialization, serialization, informatization and intelligence of my country's offshore engineering equipment manufacturing industry, move the product structure towards the mid-to-high end, and strive to enter the final assembly of offshore engineering equipment. Manufacture the ranks of advanced countries.
The manufacturing of marine engineering equipment is one of the areas identified by "Made in China 2025", and it is an important part of my country's strategic emerging industries and the direction of high-end equipment manufacturing.
my country's offshore equipment manufacturing has a history of more than 50 years, forming a relatively mature industrial chain. Under the circumstance that the global offshore engineering equipment manufacturing is sluggish, the European and American manufacturing powerhouses have begun to gradually withdraw from the offshore engineering manufacturing equipment market. 50%.
At present, major countries in the world have accelerated the development of marine engineering equipment manufacturing, and marine engineering equipment manufacturing technology has moved towards the development direction of ultra-deep sea technology, high reliability, high performance, and underwater production systems. China has also raised the development of the marine economy to a national strategic level, and the marine engineering equipment manufacturing industry has been listed as a national strategic emerging industry.
China's deep-sea equipment industry is facing many challenges and opportunities. To realize the transformation from big to strong, it is very important to break through core technologies and key equipment. With the increasingly stringent green environmental protection requirements in the world, the green environmental protection of marine engineering equipment manufacturing has become an inevitable trend.
my country's oil cylinder products will pay more attention to the application of high-tech to meet the future requirements for high performance, energy saving and environmental protection of the whole machine. In terms of performance, the reliability and service life of the oil cylinder will continue to improve; in terms of environmental protection, it will develop in the direction of low energy consumption, low noise, low vibration, no leakage and pollution control; at the same time, the oil cylinder will be highly integrated and high power. Density, intelligence, mechatronics and light-weight direction development, and actively increase the application of new technologies, new materials and electronic sensing and other high-tech.
The domestic hydraulic market started late. Although the development momentum has been rapid in recent years, the market concentration is still very low. It belongs to a decentralized and competitive market. Large enterprises will gain more market shares, market concentration will be enhanced, and competition will shift to the level of technical content and quality.
