Cross-tube width: 60 mm at the base end; 30 mm at the rod end.
Double-acting hydraulic cylinders with cross tubes
A double-acting hydraulic cylinder with cross tubes has a transverse tubular mounting end at both ends. Hydraulic pressure extends and retracts the cylinder. Compare five sizes by stroke, centre-to-centre length and mounting dimensions.
Will the mounting fit your machine?
Check the hole diameter and the width of both cross tubes. The base-end and rod-end tubes have different widths. Also compare the stroke and the distance between the mounting holes in the retracted and extended positions. These ends have no spherical bearing; the mounting must suit the movement of the machine.
Choose the correct size
For example, 50/30 means a 50 mm bore and a 30 mm rod diameter. These are not the mounting-hole diameters. All dimensions below are in millimetres.

Compare stroke and mounting length by SPH code
Retracted and extended lengths are measured centre to centre: from the centre of one mounting hole to the centre of the other. Open your size and select an SPH code to view that variant. On a narrow screen, scroll the table sideways.

Working pressure and load
The recommended working pressure is 180 bar; the maximum allowable pressure is 250 bar. The permissible load also depends on stroke, buckling load and mounting. Do not choose a cylinder on maximum pressure alone.
Which mounting do you need?
When replacing a cylinder, compare the complete mounting and the available installation space. Other options:
- Cylinders with clevis and eye
- Cylinders with spherical bearings
- All double-acting hydraulic cylinders
- All hydraulic cylinders
Frequently asked questions
Is the hole diameter the same as the pin diameter?
No. The stated dimension is the hole diameter in the cross tube. Check that the mounting pin and required fit are suitable for your application.
Are both cross tubes the same width?
No. On these models, the base-end tube is wider than the rod-end tube. Compare both widths with your mounting points.
Can cross tubes replace spherical bearings?
The mounting must be assessed first. Cross tubes have no spherical bearing for angular alignment. Check the required movement, load and mounting dimensions.
How do I measure my existing cylinder?
Measure between the centres of the mounting holes, both fully retracted and fully extended. The difference is the stroke. Also compare the bore and rod diameter and the dimensions of both cross tubes.
Need help choosing?
Send the size, required stroke, centre-to-centre lengths and mounting dimensions via WhatsApp. A photo of the existing mounting helps with comparison.
