Welded clevis cylinders: compact power for tough equipment.

Welded clevis cylinders are heavy-duty hydraulic components designed for demanding applications. With their compact profile, strong weld construction, and high-pressure performance, they’re ideal for mobile equipment, off-road vehicles, and OEM systems that require reliable force in rugged conditions.

What is a Welded Clevis Cylinder?

A welded clevis cylinder features end mounts — typically a female clevis — welded directly to the cylinder body. This eliminates the need for tie rods, making the design more compact, durable, and suitable for tight spaces or high-load applications.

The rod clevis end is an adjustable, screw-on component made from high-strength steel. Combined with a ductile iron piston and gland, the assembly is built to operate reliably in extreme environments including oil & gas, agriculture, manufacturing, material handling, and transportation sectors.

Key Benefits of Welded Clevis Cylinders

• High-pressure capacity – up to 3000 PSI

• Compact welded construction – no tie rods to loosen or fail

• Adjustable screw-on clevis rod ends

• Long service life in tough environments

• Compatible with mobile, industrial, and custom hydraulic systems

Typical Applications

Welded clevis cylinders are used in:

• Tractors and agricultural implements

• Construction equipment (skid steers, loaders)

• Forklifts and material handling systems

• Oil & gas field equipment

• Utility and dump trailers
