What Is a Tie Rod Cylinder?
A tie rod cylinder has high-strength threaded steel rods that hold the end caps to the cylinder barrel. These cylinders usually have static seals to prevent leakage between the barrel and end-cap interface. Small cylinders usually have four tie rods, and large, industrial types can have as many as twenty to withstand intense force.
Lauded for their compact design, hydraulic tie rod cylinders are most often used in factory applications. Most do not exceed 3,000 psi and many are built to NFPA standards, offering easy disassembly if a malfunction occurs.
