We specialize in male tang type hydraulic cylinder, also known as eye type hydraulic cylinders with spherical bearing or bush bearing, designed for reliable pivot mounting with smooth rotational movement and robust load handling in heavy-duty hydraulic systems.

Features of Male Tang (Eye Type) Hydraulic Cylinders

• Male Tang Design with Bearing Options
  The male tang acts as a protruding eye-shaped end with a hole that accommodates a spherical bearing or bush bearing, providing a pivot point that can absorb angular misalignment while maintaining high load capacity.
  • Spherical bearings allow self-aligning action, reducing stress on the cylinder rod and mounting structure.
  • Bush bearings provide robust, low-maintenance support suitable for heavy loads and harsh conditions.
• Durable Construction and Precision Machining
  Manufactured from high-strength steel or alloy, these cylinders feature CNC-machined male tang ends with precisely drilled holes to fit bearings securely. The piston rods are hard chrome plated for wear resistance and corrosion protection, ensuring long life even in demanding environments.
• Customizable Specifications
  Available in single- or double-acting configurations, with options for bore sizes, stroke lengths, pressure ratings, and male tang dimensions tailored to your application requirements.

Manufacturing Process Overview

1. Material Preparation and Saw Cutting
   High-quality steel tubes or bars are cut to part dimensions using precision band saws.
2. CNC Machining of Cylinder Components
   Cylinder barrels, rod assemblies, and especially male tang ends are machined on lathes and milling machines. The tang is shaped and the bearing hole is drilled to tight tolerances to ensure proper fit and alignment of spherical or bush bearings.
3. Hard Chrome Plating and Surface Finishing
   Piston rods undergo hard chrome plating for optimized surface hardness and corrosion resistance. The bearing surfaces on male tang ends are polished or finished to minimize wear.
4. Welding and Assembly
   Where applicable, the tang is welded or integrally machined as part of the rod end. Bearings (spherical or bush) are pressed into the tang holes post-machining or post-welding, ensuring tight fit and smooth rotation. The cylinder is assembled with premium seals, piston, and fasteners.
5. Testing and Quality Assurance
   Each cylinder undergoes hydraulic pressure testing at 1.5 times designed operating pressure to check for leaks and structural integrity. Functional testing of bearing fit and pivot movement ensures smooth operation under load.
6. Surface Treatment and Coating
   Final assembly surfaces are painted or coated according to customer requirements for corrosion resistance and durability.
