Maxim 218303 TC Tie-rod Cylinder
This Maxim 218303 TC tie-rod hydraulic cylinder delivers linear force for agricultural and industrial machinery. It features a 3.5 inch bore and 1.25 inch rod diameter built with precision honed steel tubing and ductile iron piston. The unit operates up to 2,500 psi across a temperature range of -20 to 220 degrees F.
Replaces Worn 8 Inch Stroke Units
This cylinder directly replaces tie-rod units with an 8 inch stroke and 1 inch pin diameter. The jump is worth it when existing equipment shows rod scoring, seal leakage or reduced pressure holding capacity. Its high tensile tie rods and black finish resist fatigue in demanding cyclic applications.
Verify Mounting And Port Compatibility
Confirm your equipment accepts a retracted length of 20 1/4 inches and extended length of 28 1/4 inches. Check that the 1/2 inch NPT ports match your hydraulic hose fittings. Ensure the 1 inch pin diameter matches your clevis or mounting brackets before ordering.

Questions about this item
What is the retracted length of the Maxim 218303 TC tie-rod cylinder?
The cylinder measures 20 1/4 inches when fully retracted, so verify your mounting points allow at least that much space before installation.
How do I correctly install the included pins and clips on the 1 inch diameter pin holes?
Insert the 1 inch pins through the cylinder and mount clevises, then seat the retaining clips fully into the pin grooves to prevent the pins from walking out under load.
When should I replace the seals on this 3.5 bore cylinder rated for 2,500 psi?
Plan seal replacement if you notice external leaks, drifting under load, or after operating near the 220 degree F temperature limit for extended periods.
