Maxim 288318 WT Welded Hydraulic Cylinder 2 in Bore 32 in Stroke 1.25 in Rod
Welded hydraulic cylinder with a 2 in bore, 32 in stroke and 1.25 in rod, rated to 3,000 psi
- Double-acting design powers both push and pull strokes
- 2 in bore delivers strong force at 3,000 psi max pressure
- 32 in stroke extends cylinder to 72 in total length
- #6 SAE ports simplify hydraulic hose connections
- Polypak rod seal resists wear from -20°F to 220°F
Cylinder specifications
This Maxim 288318 WT is a welded hydraulic cylinder built for double-acting operation. It suits equipment that requires linear force in both extension and retraction. The 2 inch bore and 1.25 inch rod diameter define its push and pull capacity. Buyers needing a larger bore or longer stroke will need a different model.
Build integration
The cylinder mounts via 1 inch diameter pins at each end. Two #6 SAE ports accept standard hydraulic fittings for pressure and return lines. Its retracted length of 40 inches sets the minimum installation space, while the 72 inch extended length determines the maximum reach. Systems requiring a shorter retracted envelope cannot use this unit.
Capacity and limits
Maximum working pressure is rated at 3,000 psi, providing substantial force for heavy-duty tasks. The 32 inch stroke delivers long linear travel for applications such as press beds or lift arms. Operating temperature range spans -20 to 220 degrees F, covering most industrial environments. Pressures above the rated maximum or temperatures outside this range will exceed the cylinder's design limits.

Questions about this item
What is the maximum pressure this cylinder can handle before the seals or tube become the limiting factor under sustained use?
The cylinder is rated for a maximum pressure of 3,000 psi, which is the limit for the ductile iron piston and honed steel tube under continuous operation.
How hot can the hydraulic fluid get during all-day operation before the Polypak rod seals risk premature wear?
The seals are rated for a temperature range of -20 to 220 degrees F, so fluid temperature must stay below 220 °F during extended duty cycles.
Which mounting pins and hydraulic fittings must I already have to install this cylinder?
You need 1-inch diameter mounting pins for the clevis ends and #6 SAE O-ring boss fittings for the hydraulic ports.
