Tie-rod cylinders are manufactured using a hydraulic cylinder tube, a piston rod, and end caps that are connected by threaded tie rods. The tie rods run the entire length of the cylinder tube and through holes in the end caps. Each rod is secured with a nut to hold the end cap to the cylinder barrel.
Hydraulic fluid is used to power the piston, allowing for reliable and precise control of linear motion. Tie rod hydraulic cylinders are used in a variety of heavy-duty industries, from construction equipment to manufacturing, to provide controlled power for lifting, pushing, and pulling.
Advantages Of Tie-Rod Cylinders:
Ease of Maintenance: Tie-rod cylinders are relatively easy to maintain and repair, as they can be disassembled easily by removing the tie rods.
Cost-Effective Solution: Tie-rod cylinders are generally less expensive than other types of hydraulic cylinders, such as welded cylinders.
Welded hydraulic cylinders are manufactured by welding the cylinder barrel to both end caps. The mounts and other cylinder fittings are also welded to the end cap with this design.
They are designed to be more durable and resistant to leaks in harsh environments and generally have longer life cycles than tie-rod cylinders.
Welded hydraulic cylinders have a compact, lightweight design with higher pressure capabilities and are used in a wide range of mobile equipment where heavy loads are involved such as in the construction and industrial machinery sectors.
Advantages Of Welded Cylinders:
Greater Strength and Durability: Welded cylinders are designed to be more durable than tie-rod cylinders. They are less likely to leak and can handle higher pressure and heavier loads.
Compact and Lightweight Design: Welded cylinders are often smaller than tie-rod cylinders, which makes them a good choice for applications where space is limited.
