A hydraulic cylinder is a mechanical actuator used to provide unidirectional force through a unidirectional stroke. Hydraulic cylinders are used in almost every market and are available in a variety of configurations. The two primary types of hydraulic cylinders are Tie-rod and Welded. Each of these cylinder types can possess unique applications due 
to their styles. Tie-rod cylinders are usually set up in light to moderate duty applications and tend to be designed to be repaired or re-loaded if necessary. Welded cylinders are designed for most applications and are more complex in design but are generally more difficult to correct due to the welded design. Welded cylinders are typically a better solution due to their compact design so when a more Hyd Cylinder robust style is important in an application.
