What Is a Welded Cylinder?
Welded cylinders are cylinders in which the barrel is directly welded to the end caps, and on the other end, the main tube is welded directly to the base plug; there are also cross tubes that are welded to the piston end. These welded elements eliminate the need for tie rods and strengthen the cylinder overall.
There are a few benefits to welded cylinders: a welded hydraulic cylinder, as well as welded pneumatic cylinders, are generally more durable than other cylinders, making them more reliable, and have a more compact design for space constrained applications.
