Chief 287053 Welded Cylinder Specifications
This CHIEF 287053 welded hydraulic cylinder provides a 3.5 inch bore and a 30 inch stroke with a 1.75 inch rod. It is a new hydraulic system component built for linear force applications in machinery and industrial equipment. The welded construction offers a compact, durable body suited for high-pressure hydraulic circuits.
Ideal for Industrial Linear Actuation
This cylinder suits maintenance teams and machine builders who need a 30 inch stroke length and a 3.5 inch bore diameter for existing hydraulic systems. It is not for buyers who require a different bore size, a shorter or longer stroke, a larger rod diameter, or a tie-rod style cylinder for field-serviceable seal replacement.
Straightforward Hydraulic Installation
Installation involves mounting the cylinder using its welded end fittings and connecting hydraulic hoses to the ports. Ensure the rod alignment matches the load path to prevent side-loading and premature seal wear. Common issues include incorrect port sizing for the existing plumbing and insufficient clearance for the full 30 inch stroke extension.
Highlights
- 5 in bore provides high force capacity
- 30 in stroke enables long linear travel
- 75 in rod resists bending under load
- Welded construction ensures leak-free durability

Questions about this item
What hydraulic pump flow and pressure ratings are needed to drive the 3.5-inch bore cylinder effectively?
Match the pump to the 3.5-inch bore area and your desired extension speed; the cylinder itself has no built-in flow restriction beyond its port size.
Can the 1.75-inch rod diameter handle the same peak pressure as my existing 2-inch rod cylinders?
The 1.75-inch rod yields a smaller annular area, so retraction force at a given pressure is lower; verify your circuit pressure stays within the cylinder's rated limit.
After installation, how do I confirm the 30-inch stroke is achieved without binding?
Pressurise the extend port until the rod stops moving, measure the exposed rod length, then retract fully and measure again; the difference should equal 30 inches.
