Tierod Cylinders
Double-acting tie-rod hydraulic cylinders providing powered force in both directions—the standard, proven design for industrial and mobile applications.
Bi-Directional Power & Control
Double acting tie-rod cylinders provide powered force in both extend and retract directions using hydraulic pressure. They're a standard, proven design for industrial and mobile applications requiring controlled motion and consistent output throughout the stroke. The tie-rod construction offers easy serviceability and secure end-cap retention for medium to heavy-duty use.
How They Work
Bi-Directional Force
Pressure applied alternately to either side of the piston provides extend and retract force.
Tie-Rod Construction
Tie-rods clamp the head and cap to the barrel, maintaining structural integrity under load.
Flow & Cushion Control
Flow controls regulate speed; cushion valves absorb end-of-stroke energy.
Port & Sensing
Ports connect to extend/retract circuits; optional position sensing provides feedback.
Internal Sealing
Seals prevent internal leakage between pressure chambers for efficient operation.
When to Use
Ideal applications for tie-rod cylinders
Applications requiring powered motion in both directions
Vertical, horizontal, or inverted orientations
Systems where precise positioning or load control is needed
Medium to high-duty cycles in manufacturing, agricultural implements, or automation
When a repairable, standardized cylinder design is preferred
