Cylinder types
Tie-rod style cylinders are prevalent in cylinder applications that conform to worldwide SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) standards.
Benefits of Tie Rod cylinders include the ease of disassembly for repair due to no welding being required in the design.
Motus’ tie rod cylinders are made to SAE standards for interchangability and these cylinders are a great low-medium cost option for applications where cylinders operate with pressures 3500PSI and lower.
Tie Rod Range – up to 3500psi
Motus Tie Rod double-acting cylinders are manufactured to SAE standards for OEM and replacement parts to a wide variety of applications. They are available from 2” to 5” bore sizes with strokes up to 36”.
They contain some subtle improvements from the regular sources, including the 3500psi operating pressure rating, ORB ports as standard and custom colours for OEM supply.
