A hydraulic cylinder, also referred to as a linear hydraulic motor, is a mechanical actuator used in many applications such as manufacturing, machinery, construction, and civil engineering. These cylinders generate their power through pressurized hydraulic fluid and propel vehicles and machines through a unidirectional force.

There are many varieties of hydraulic cylinders. Here’s what you need to know about these cylinders: Tie rod style hydraulic cylinders utilize strong threaded steel rods to secure two end caps to the cylinder’s barrel. There are small-bore style cylinders and large bore cylinders. Small-bore cylinders typically contain four tie rods, while large cylinders require as many as 20 tie rods to secure the end caps. Tie rod hydraulic cylinders can be disassembled easily for service, replacement, or customization. Yates offers the variety below:

Our H6 cylinder is built to handle the most rugged applications and is in high demand for clamping, stamping, forging, bending, tilt, and shearing processes.

For applications where pneumatic cylinders are preferred over hydraulics, our A4 Heavy-Duty Pneumatic is an excellent choice.

Built solidly for medium-duty applications, our H4 Medium-Duty Hydraulic Cylinder is a great choice for clamping, stamping, forging, bending, tilt, and shearing jobs.

Yates L4 cylinders are designed for high-cycle, long stroke applications. They are additionally well suited for applications that do not offer inline oilers.

This cylinder is ideal for all types of automation where lightweight pneumatic cylinders are required.

Our H2 models are a top choice for any application where lightweight hydraulic cylinders are required.
