A hydraulic cylinder is a mechanical actuator used to supply unidirectional force through a unidirectional stroke. Hydraulic cylinders are found in almost every market and so are available in a number of configurations. The two primary types of hydraulic cylinders are Tie-rod and Welded. Each of these cylinder types can have unique applications due to their designs. Tie-rod cylinders are often set up in light to medium duty applications and are Hyd Cylinder generally designed to become repaired or re-loaded if required. Welded cylinders are designed for most applications and are more technical in design but are generally more difficult to repair due to the welded style. Welded cylinders are usually a better solution because of their compact design so when a more robust design is important within an application.
