170 bar tie-rod cylinder

2nd Quarter 2009 Hydraulic systems & components

Hydrocylinder’s new production line is now up and running, producing the manufacturer’s standard range of HARVESTA, aka 1CC, cylinders. This means that this range of cylinders can now be produced and stocked as off-the-shelf items whilst still being able to offer a quick turn-around time for the company’s industrial, custom made, range of cylinders.

The HARVESTA is a welded construction cylinder which can be fitted in place of many well known tie-rod cylinders. The basic dimensions and mounting are identical to equivalent OEM units, but the difference lies in the components and construction.

The chromed rod is manufactured from CK45 material and tubular sections are of ST52.3 fine tolerance tubing. The screw-in glands are manufactured from Meehanite, a high grade of cast iron, and the pistons from mild steel. The cylinders are supplied with plated steel pins, washers and R-clips.

The seal kit comprises a 5-piece stretch-on DAS system, polyurethane gland seal and wiper. Hydrocylinder claims that these, combined with the welded end cap, produce a superior sealing arrangement that has less or no chance of leaking. To assure this, all cylinders are pressure tested on completion.

A 170 bar allowable working pressure is achieved through careful selection of materials and workmanship.
