How to choose a tie-rod hydraulic cylinder?

In industrial applications, hydraulic cylinders are extensively utilized across multiple sectors, including manufacturing, construction, and heavy machinery, playing a pivotal role. To ensure operational efficiency, durability, and safety, the selection of an appropriate tie-rod cylinder is of paramount importance. The following aspects warrant particular consideration when choosing a tie-rod cylinder.

1.Bore and stroke

Bore diameter refers to the diameter of the inner cylinder of the hydraulic cylinder, which is also the diameter of the piston. It directly determines the thrust or pull force that the hydraulic cylinder can output under unit pressure. Stroke refers to the maximum length that the piston can move in the cylinder, that is, the maximum extension and retraction distance of the cylinder. The stroke length determines the distance that the cylinder can push or pull the object. The longer the stroke, the larger the range of motion that the hydraulic cylinder can perform. Choosing the correct bore diameter ensures that sufficient force is generated for your application. Selecting the correct stroke length prevents over-extension and low motion efficiency.

2.Working pressure and capacity

Different applications require different pressure levels, so it is important to select the appropriate pressure rating for the tie-rod hydraulic cylinder. The working pressure of common tie-rod cylinders typically ranges from 1,500 to 3,000 PSI (10 MPa to 20 MPa). When selecting a cylinder, it's essential to consider the weight and force requirements of the equipment to avoid poor performance.

3.Material and quality

The durability of the tie-rod cylinder depends on its manufacturing materials and process level. In harsh environments, high-quality steel and precise manufacturing can extend the service life of the tie-rod cylinder and enhance its performance.

4.Mounting types

There are various installation methods for the tie-rod cylinder. The most common ones include flange mounting base, clevis mounts, trunnion mounts, and foot mounts. When choosing an installation method, it is necessary to determine the most suitable installation plan based on the actual mechanical requirements and installation distance to ensure the stability of the equipment.

The above several aspects are all crucial factors to consider when purchasing a tie-rod cylinder. TOLENG offers custom-made high-quality industrial hydraulic cylinders to meet your specific requirements. Welcome to explore our tie-rod cylinder series.
