Tie rod mounted cylinders are mounted from the same stress-proof steel tie rods used to compress the head and cap to the barrel. The tie rod mount is simple and economical, as well as functionally excellent in tension applications.
Flange mounted cylinders are mounted via square or rectangular flanges attached to the head. Heavy duty ME5 mounts use extra material on the head itself for mounting. Flange mounts ensure the thrust force of the cylinder remains in the centre of the rod, as long as there is no rod misalignment.
Flange mounted cylinders are mounted via square or rectangular flanges attached to the cap. Heavy duty ME6 mounts use extra material on the cap itself for mounting. Flange mounts ensure the thrust force of the cylinder remains in the centre of the rod, as long as there is no rod misalignment.
Lug & tapped mounted cylinders are mounted to the bottom or side of the head or cap. Lug & tapped mounts must operate at lower pressure on large bore or long stroke cylinders. Thrust keys can help improve the strength of the mount. Consult our experts for more detail.
Foot mounted cylinders are mounted to the bottom, side or end of the head or cap. Foot mounts must operate at lower pressure on large bore or long stroke cylinders. Clevis mounted cylinders are required when a load must move through an arc. Clevis cylinders may need to be de-rated or used with stop tubes for long stroke applications, especially without a guided load.
Trunnion mounted cylinders are heavy duty pivoting cylinders with pintles mounted to the head, cap or intermediate position. Although superior to clevis or pivot mounted cylinders, they may still require stop tubes in long stroke applications.
