Tie Rod Cylinder And Profile Cylinder

The tie rod cylinder are commonly standard cylinder in industrial automation system and with high performing, long lasting. Be with the requested Viton seal are able to operate in high temperatures. They provide linear motion, and most of them are double acting.

Because these two cylinders are the most commonly used, we also call them “standard cylinders”. Most type of standard cylinder have adjustable cushioning. It’s a important characteristic for the heavy-duty work situation. This allows the heavy objects which pushed by the air cylinder will not cause damage to the cylinder or the equipment due to the inertia when it moves to the end of the stroke. If the high temperature resistant seal is assembled, the cylinder could work in a high temperature environment. If are used in the acid-stage or alkaline environment, the stainless-steel piston rod, stainless steel fixing bolts and tie rods are available.

What is the profile cylinder?

The profile of the cylinder tube is an aluminum tube that can hide the tie rods, or a square cylinder, with the tie rods built-in, which has good corrosion resistance. The Figure-1 Shows the inner structure of the SU profile air cylinder.

Double acting: double-acting type, smooth adjustable cushioning, high temperature resistant sealing is optional. There are various types of installation and fixation, including front double-ear, single-ear, double-ear, front flange, rear flange and tripod type. Profile cylinder piston adopts special-shaped two-way sealing structure, compact size and oil storage function. The double acting cylinder should be controlled by the 5/2 ways solenoid valve.
Corrosion resistance
The biggest advantage of Profile cylinders is corrosion resistance. Because the tie rod which combined the cylinder end cover and the barrel are hidden inside the oxidized barrel, so the tie-rod will not be corroded.

What is a tie rod cylinder?

Tie-rod cylinder is a type of cylinder in which the front cap, barrel and back cap of the cylinder are fixed together by a threaded tie rod. Almost all of tie-rods cylinders were assembled with round barrel, it’s a significant feature. The tie-rods cylinder are suitable for various industries and dedusting equipment. Generally speaking, different bore size can be designed and manufactured according to the specific requirements and actual needs of customers. Especially when client needs the big bore size cylinder. The maximum bore size can be reach 500mm.

The Figure-2 shows the inner structure of the SC tie rod cylinder.

Double acting type:

Almost all of the Tie-rod cylinder is double-acting type, most types with adjustable cushioning, high temperature resistant sealing are optional. There are various types of installation and fixation, including front double-ear, single-ear, double-ear, front flange, rear flange and tripod type. Adopts special-shaped two-way sealing structure, oil storage function. The double acting cylinder should be controlled by the 5/2 ways solenoid valve.

Why we choose Tie rod cylinder products:

Aluminum alloy structure, light weight, beautiful appearance, advanced and reliable performance, long life, durable. The most important feature is the better performance when working with the heavy-duty situation compared with the profile cylinder.
A variety of installation methods, easy to use and install, and widely used.

Another feature is that there are more choice of the material of the cylinder cap and barrel. They can be replaced with carbon steel or stainless steel. As this is a kind of cylinder be used in a wide range of applications, the market can provide parts processing services with various materials. Such as the air cylinder used on the pneumatic knife gate valve. This type of cylinder is usually used in heavy industrial environments such as mines and metallurgical industry.
