A hydraulic cylinder in a rock crusher is a crucial component that uses pressurized hydraulic fluid to generate force and movement. Typically, it is employed to adjust the position of the crushing jaws or to provide protection against uncrushable material. In the context of a rock crusher, the hydraulic cylinder can help in controlling the gap or setting, thereby determining the size of the material output. Additionally, it may act as a safety mechanism by retracting when the system experiences excessive load or when non-crushable objects, like metal, enter the crushing chamber, preventing potential damage to the crusher.
