The traditional design process for vertical lifting devices involves verifying the feasibility of the layout design through a single scheme for the hydraulic cylinder. This process does not fully leverage the coupling relationship between the layout parameters and hydraulic cylinder performance， making it difficult to achieve rapid design and optimization. The design and calculation process of the hydraulic cylinder is mathematically modeled to calculate its performance characteristics， which are then used to construct a hydraulic cylinder performance model. By incorporating this model into the design process of the vertical lifting device， a direct mapping relationship between the layout scheme and hydraulic cylinder performance is established， enabling an integrated design of both. In addition， an application study is presented， where the integrated design method is used to quickly calculate the performance parameters of hydraulic cylinders for a given layout scheme. How changes in the layout scheme affect the hydraulic cylinder’s performance parameters is also investigated. The findings provide a foundation for the rapid design and optimization of lifting devices.
