foot mount hydraulic cylinders:

A foot mount cylinder has a clevis and spherical bearing integrated on one end that acts as a pivoting foot.
The foot allows the cylinder to pivot and handle misalignment with the equipment it actuates. This avoids bending stress on the cylinder.
The foot is typically integrated on the rod end of the cylinder. The barrel end has the standard stationary mount.
Common applications are on equipment like dump truck beds, scrap balers, mechanical presses, and industries needing articulating actuators.
Foot mounts provide flexibility for equipment that moves or needs to allow for misalignment between the cylinder and object it pushes/pulls.
The spherical bearing in the foot allows up to 15-20 degrees of angular articulation in all directions.
Proper sealing and bearing protection components are used to prevent contamination while pivoting. The foot joint needs periodic lubrication.
Foot mount cylinders simplify installation and equipment design versus requiring additional pivot mounting hardware.
They are cost effective for low-to-moderate misalignment applications. Larger angular articulation requires a trunnion mount cylinder.
Overall, foot mount cylinders integrate a flexible mount option when an equipment actuator needs pivoting articulation.
