Tie Rod Pneumatic Cylinder: Efficient Air Power

Tie rod pneumatic cylinders are a workhorse of industrial automation. Their front and rear caps are clamped to the cylinder tube by tie rods, a simple, rigid construction that is easy to service and widely standardised. This article explains how they are built, where they are used, and what HINAKA's ISO 15552 DAI series offers.

Key Features of Tie Rod Pneumatic Cylinders

• Rigid construction: tie rods hold the front cap, tube and rear cap firmly together.
• Easy to service: the cylinder can be taken apart for inspection and seal replacement.
• Standardised dimensions: ISO 15552 cylinders from different makers share mounting dimensions, so they can be interchanged.
• Wide choice of mountings: foot, flange, clevis and trunnion mountings fit the same cylinder body.

Where They Are Used

Tie rod cylinders are general-purpose actuators found across factory automation:

• Manufacturing and assembly: pushing, lifting, clamping and transferring parts on automated lines.
• Machine building: doors, guards, stoppers and positioning mechanisms.
• Packaging: quick, repeated movements for feeding, pushing and cutting.
• Material handling: diverters, lifts and transfer stations.

HINAKA's DAL Tie Rod Series

HINAKA's DAL series is an aluminium-alloy tie rod pneumatic cylinder for general industrial automation.

• Tie rod construction: the front and rear caps are clamped to the cylinder tube by tie rods.
• Bore range: ø40 to ø150, for applications needing larger bores.
• Maximum operating pressure: 1 MPa.
• Two oil-resistant U-ring seals on the piston.
• Adjustable end cushions absorb impact in high-speed operation.
• Self-lubricating front cap bearing for smooth movement.
• Magnetic sensor switches can be fitted on all models.
• Anticorrosive, lightweight aluminium alloy body with easy mounting.

Related HINAKA Series

• DAI series: built to ISO 15552 (formerly ISO 6431) with a profiled extruded tube, ø32 to ø125, 1 MPa, speeds to 500 mm/s, S45C rod and extended adjustable cushions. Choose it when you need ISO standard mounting dimensions so cylinders can be interchanged between makers.
• DI series: ISO 6432 stainless steel round cylinders, ø12 to ø25.

Technical Support
