What is double acting tie rod cylinder?
Tie rod hydraulic cylinders are have four rods (bolts) that connect the ends of a double-acting hydraulic cylinder to add strength and stability to the cylinder and prevent it from coming apart under pressure. STANDARD-DUTY TIE-ROD CYLINDERS: Standard-duty tie-rod hydraulic cylinders are double-acting steel cylinders rated to 2500 psi. They are slightly smaller than heavy-duty cylinders. They provide power in both push and pull directions, allowing for more precise positioning than single-acting cylinders. The hard chrome-plated case-hardened steel rod provides smooth movement and a long service life. HEAVY-DUTY TIE-ROD CYLINDERS Heavy-duty tie-rod cylinders have a thicker body wall and larger rod diameter than standard-duty tie-rod cylinders, making them suitable for use in hydraulic systems up to 3000 psi. The tie rods are made of high-tensile steel and are thicker than standard-duty tie rods to provide additional strength and rigidity. Hard chrome-plated piston rods made o
