The features of tie rod cylinder
Tie rod cylinders feature threaded tie bolts or rods that 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. The number of threaded tie bolts included in the cylinder design depends on the bore diameter; rod diameter and operating pressure but can range from 4 to 20.
The features of welded cylinder
With welded hydraulic cylinder, the design is more complex, with the barrel welded directly to both end caps. The mounts and other cylinder fittings are also welded to the end cap with this design.
The advantages and disadvantages of them
- Ease of maintenance is a significant selling factor for tie rod cylinders, as they are easy to assemble and disassemble with conventional tools. However, they require more installation space than a welded rod cylinder due to a bulkier design. Another advantage is that tie rod cylinders are built to NFPA standards for interchangeability.
- Welded cylinders have several advantages compared to tie rod cylinders. Welded cylinders have a narrow body and often a shorter overall length, enabling them to fit better into tight machinery confines. It’s function efficiently due to tie rod stretch at high pressures and long strokes. And welded cylinder is customizable, and unique custom features can be easily mounted to this cylinder design.
- The welded cylinders are the perfect design for multi-stage telescopic cylinders due to their smooth surface. Besides, welded hydraulic cylinders dominate the mobile hydraulic equipment market. Construction equipment, excavators, bulldozers, road graders are all using welded design cylinders. Also, material handling equipment such as trucks, lift-gates, and telehandlers have welded cylinders. A heavy-duty industry like cranes, oil rigs, and large off-road vehicles for above-ground mining operations are widely using welded cylinders.
