Tie Rod Hydraulic Cylinders

Standardised, Serviceable, and Built for Strength

Tie rod hydraulic cylinders are one of the most common cylinder designs, recognised for their robust construction and ease of maintenance. They use high-strength threaded steel rods to hold the two end caps securely to the cylinder barrel. This design is particularly popular in industrial factory applications, where reliability and interchangeability are key.

At Hydraulics Online, we supply both standard tie rod cylinders from trusted brands and custom-designed cylinders tailored to your specific application and operating parameters.

Tie rod cylinders are designed for strength and serviceability.

Key features include:

Threaded steel rods – hold end caps firmly to the barrel under high pressure.
Scalable design – small bore cylinders typically use 4 tie rods, while large bore cylinders may require 16–20 rods.
Standardised dimensions – NFPA standards ensure interchangeability across manufacturers.
Service-friendly – tie rod cylinders can be completely disassembled for repair and maintenance.
Compliance with ISO and DIN standards – our HOL-T series cylinders meet ISO 6020/2 – 1991 and DIN 24554 requirements.

Heavy-duty construction – withstands demanding industrial environments.
Wide range of mounting styles – adaptable to different applications.
Customisable design – tailored features to meet specific operating parameters.
Interchangeability – NFPA standardisation allows cross-brand compatibility.
Ease of repair – fully serviceable design extends cylinder lifespan.

Tie rod cylinders are widely used in:

Industrial factory automation
Manufacturing and processing equipment
Material handling and lifting systems
Energy and utility installations
Marine and offshore hydraulic systems

They are particularly valuable in applications requiring standardised, serviceable cylinders with high durability.

We can provide you with standard and custom-made tie rod hydraulic cylinders to suit your specific application, requirements, and operating parameters.

How do tie rod cylinders differ from welded cylinders? Tie rod cylinders use threaded rods to secure end caps, while welded cylinders rely on welded construction. Tie rod cylinders are easier to disassemble and repair.

Are tie rod cylinders interchangeable between brands? Yes, NFPA standardisation ensures compatibility across manufacturers.

Can tie rod cylinders be customised? Absolutely. We design and supply bespoke cylinders tailored to your operating parameters.
