Ask A Question

Description & Features

Built for reliability and performance this hydraulic cylinder features a robust design with 1045 cast steel clevises and a ductile iron piston. Its maximum operating pressure is 2500 PSI making it suitable for demanding industrial applications.

With a bore of 3.5 inches and a rod diameter of 1.25 inches this cylinder offers a stroke length of 10 inches ensuring precise control. The double-acting piston seal provides single-acting capabilities while the double lip U-cup seal on the rod prevents contamination and moisture ingress.

Manufactured by Bailey Sales Corp Div Bailey Intl Corp this cylinder boasts heavy-duty grade 8 piston nuts torqued to specification and secured with thread/locker sealant. The TR2.5 series features induction hardened chrome-plated rods that withstand a minimum of 90 hours in ASTM B117-02 salt spray tests.

Designed for efficiency the cylinder includes 1/2 NPT ports and ductile iron cast heads. Each unit undergoes rigorous static and dynamic pressure tests to meet high-quality standards. The cylinder's long stroke design considers column load data for pin-to-pin mounting calculations.

rated load says 24,000 lbs but i got a long stroke setup and somebody told me those numbers don't hold up the same way at full extension, is that true for this one?

Column loading is a real concern with longer stroke cylinders, and yes, the full extension rating on this one is lower than the base load capacity to account for that. The product data calls this out directly, long stroke designs have reduced ratings at full extension to prevent shaft buckling. Load calculations for this cylinder are based on pin-to-pin mounting, so if your setup deviates from that, the numbers shift. The 24,000 lb rated load applies under the right conditions, but working at or near full extension with heavy push loads needs to account for that column load reduction. A minimum safety factor of 2 is recommended for maximum pushing loads.

Will this cylinder fit as a replacement for a Hydrolico C1ND50?

Yes, the Hydrolico C1ND50 is listed as an alternate part number for this tie rod hydraulic cylinder.

got a cylinder on a piece of equipment that takes 1/2 npt ports, is this one set up that way or am i gonna be fighting adapters

Ports are 1/2 NPT on this cylinder, so it matches common 1/2 NPT hydraulic connections without needing to change the cylinder itself.
