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 and pneumatic 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. At Cylinders, Inc., we repair both tie rod hydraulic cylinders and pneumatic ones.

Heavy-Duty Tie Rod Cylinders

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to repair a tie rod cylinder in Chicago, IL?
The cost to repair a tie rod cylinder depends on its type, application, and extent of the damage. If you bring your cylinder to our shop, we can assess the damage and provide you with a quote.
Is repairing tie rod cylinders any different from repairing other types of cylinders?
Tie rod cylinders have four or more threaded tie bolts that hold together the cylinder tube. Because they are built with tie rods, they’re easy to disassemble, repair and interchange.
How long does a tie rod cylinder repair last?
At Cylinders, Inc., we offer a 1-year warranty on all our tie rod cylinder repairs. A cylinder’s longevity is dependent on the intensity of its application. However, if regularly maintained and well-looked after, cylinders can outlast their warranty.
