Industrial Hydraulic Cylinder 2-1/2 In Bore
The Maxim 218-319 is a tie-rod hydraulic cylinder built for linear force applications in machinery and machine-shop equipment. It suits maintenance teams and system integrators who need a standard 10 in stroke with 1 1/4 in rod diameter and 3/8 in NPT ports. The unit arrives new with pins and clips included for immediate mounting.
Sustained Load Behaviour 2500 psi Max Pressure
Rated for a maximum pressure of 2 500 psi, the cylinder uses a ductile iron piston inside a precision honed steel tube secured by high tensile tie rods. This construction resists deformation and seal extrusion during continuous duty cycles rather than only peak impulse loads. The temperature range of -20 to 220 degrees F supports stable viscosity and seal life across extended operating periods.
Interface Limits 3/8 NPT Ports Retracted 20 1/4
The 3/8 in NPT port size governs maximum flow rate and therefore actuator speed under a given pump capacity. Mechanical installation is bounded by the 20 1/4 in retracted length and 30 1/4 in extended length which define the required mounting envelope. Pin diameter of 1 in sets the connection hardware specification for clevis or bracket attachment.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the 2-1/2 in bore cylinder generate when running continuously at 2,500 psi?
The cylinder operates within a -20 to 220 degrees F temperature range. Continuous duty at max pressure will produce heat proportional to load and cycle speed; ensure adequate reservoir cooling for sustained use.
Which hydraulic fittings and pins are required to install the 3/8 in NPT ports and 1 in pin holes?
The unit includes pins and clips for the 1 in diameter pin holes. You must supply 3/8 in NPT hydraulic hoses or adapters and compatible hydraulic fluid for the port connections.
Will the 20 1/4 in retracted length and 1 1/4 in rod diameter match my existing 2,500 psi tie-rod cylinder mounts?
This cylinder has a 20 1/4 in retracted length, 30 1/4 in extended length, 1 1/4 in rod diameter, and 1 in pin diameter. Verify these dimensions and the 2,500 psi rating against your current mount spacing and rod-end connection.
