ParkerHeavy Duty Tie Rod Hydraulic Cylinder, 3-1/4 in Bore, 2 in Stroke, Double Rod, 3000 psi, Trunnion Mount

Product Description

What this part is

A Parker Series 2H heavy-duty hydraulic cylinder, 3-1/4 in bore with a 2 in stroke, built as a double-rod unit. A piston rod emerges from both ends, so the cylinder drives two things at once, or drives one thing while carrying a switch actuator, stop or feedback device on the opposite rod. Series 2H is Parker’s NFPA tie-rod industrial line, rated to 3000 psi, with a jewel-style rod gland and square heads pulled up on four tie rods.

Decoding the order code

Parker cylinder codes read bore first, build in the middle, stroke last: 03.25 – KJTC2HLTS13A19A – 2.000.

03.25: 3-1/4 in (3.25 in) bore.

K: double rod, a rod out of both ends.

TC: trunnion mounting on the cap end.

2H: Series 2H heavy-duty hydraulic, 3000 psi rated.

S13A and 19A: Parker special-modification codes recorded against this build.

2.000: 2 in stroke.

The standard rod diameter Parker publishes for a 3-1/4 in bore Series 2H is 1-3/8 in.

What these specs mean in practice

A short stroke on a large bore is a force job rather than a motion job. At 3000 psi a 3.25 in bore develops roughly 24,900 lbf on the full piston face, and with 2 in of travel this is the sort of cylinder used for clamping, pressing, and gate and knife actuation.

Double rod changes the force balance. Both sides of the piston lose the same rod area, so extend and retract forces are equal, which is why double-rod cylinders are chosen for balanced shuttle motions. The second rod also travels behind the cylinder and takes up length there.

Trunnion mounting takes the load in shear on a centreline pivot and lets the cylinder swing. Trunnions are not designed for stroke-end shock through the pins.

Tie-rod construction makes the cylinder rebuildable: seals, gland and rod are serviceable items, and Parker publishes seal kits by bore and series.

Interchange guidance

Series 2H follows NFPA mounting dimensions, which match other NFPA 3000 psi tie-rod cylinders of the same bore, stroke and mount. Bore, rod diameter, mount style and the double-rod feature all have to match for a genuine replacement. Parker Series 3H is the higher-pressure family with NFPA dimensions. A single-rod cylinder of the same bore and stroke is a related product rather than a substitute.
