Tie-rod hydraulic cylinders are commonly used in agricultural and other machinery applications because they are easy to service. However, welded cylinders have started to replace them in some applications due to the higher pressure ratings and increased durability a welded design can provide.
Bailey’s new Hydro Custom WC Series cylinders bring together the best of both technologies to provide a durable as well as easy to service hydraulic cylinder that can be used in agriculture, construction and a range of other mobile applications. Our top piece in today’s newsletter offers a look at the features of the WC Series which enable its durability and ease of service, such as its screw-on gland design for quick and easy seal replacement.
Serviceability is a key design requirement for mobile equipment manufacturers and their customers because any amount of downtime can be costly. Making it easier for machine owners to service their machines in the field minimizes downtime so they can remain as productive as possible.
