Description
Unlike its tie-rod counterpart, this cylinder features welded construction, offering enhanced strength and durability. The double-acting functionality allows it to control motion in both extending and retracting directions, providing greater versatility.
In terms of construction, these cylinders are built with high-grade steel and specialized seals. The barrel and end caps are welded together, eliminating the need for tie rods. This design not only enhances the cylinder’s structural integrity but also allows for a more compact form factor.
Applications
Heavy Machinery: Think excavators, bulldozers, and backhoes.
Material Handling: Such as forklifts and conveyor systems.
Agricultural Equipment: Including tractors and harvesters.
Advantages:
Higher Load Capacity: The welded construction provides added strength.
Compact Design: Ideal for applications with limited space.
Ease of Maintenance: Fewer components mean less upkeep.
If you have specialized needs that can’t be met by standard cylinders, a customized welded double-acting hydraulic cylinder from Topa is the way to go. With our expertise and commitment to quality, we can design and manufacture a cylinder that perfectly aligns with your specific requirements.
Custom Hydraulic Cylinders
Consultation and Design
The first step in our custom cylinder journey is a thorough consultation. We understand your specific needs, whether it’s load capacity, stroke length, or any other unique feature. Our skilled engineers then translate these requirements into a detailed design, ensuring every aspect is tailored to your application.
Material Selection
Quality starts with the right materials. We use high-grade steel for the cylinder barrel and employ specialized seals to ensure durability and performance. Each material is chosen based on the specific conditions the cylinder will operate in, such as high-pressure environments or corrosive conditions.
Manufacturing Excellence
Our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities are equipped to produce cylinders with precision. From cutting and welding to assembly, each stage is overseen by experienced professionals to ensure the highest quality.

The quality assurance journey begins with the inspection of raw materials. We ensure that only high-grade steel, specialized seals, and other premium components enter our manufacturing process.
As the cylinder components move through the manufacturing stages, they undergo multiple in-process checks. These include dimensional verifications, weld integrity tests, and material strength assessments.
One of the most critical tests is the pressure test, where the cylinder is subjected to conditions that simulate real-world applications. This test verifies the cylinder’s load-bearing capacity and ensures it can withstand the pressures it will face in actual use.
To ensure the integrity of the seals and the overall construction, each cylinder undergoes a comprehensive leak test.
Therefore, we perform dimensional checks to ensure that each cylinder component fits perfectly, not just within the cylinder assembly but also within your specific application.
