Industrial Cylinder

Usually Bolted Cylinder to the cylinder barrel. That allows the piston rod assembly and the rod seals to be removed for service.

Tie Rod Cylinders use high strength threaded steel rods to hold the two end caps to the cylinder barrel. They are most often seen in industrial factory applications. Small bore cylinders usually have 4 tie rods, and large bore cylinders may require as many as 16 or 20 tie rods in order to retain the end caps under the tremendous forces produced.
