TIE ROD MOUNTED CYLINDERS
Tie rod mounts are suited for many applications and are similar to flange mounts, but tie-rod
mounts are not as rigid as the flange type of mounting. The best use of tie rods extended on the
blind end is in a thrust load application. When using tie rod extended on the rod end, the best
application is a tension load. When long strokes are required, the free end should be supported
to prevent misalignment, sagging or possible binding of the cylinder.

FLANGE MOUNTED CYLINDERS
The flange mount is one of the strongest, most rigid methods of mounting. With this
type of mount there is little allowance for misalignment, though when long strokes are required, the
free end opposite the mounting should be supported to prevent sagging and possible binding of the
cylinder. The best use of a blind end flange is in a thrust load application (rod in compression).
Rod end flange mounts are best used in tension applications. If an application exceeds the
rectangular flange rating, requiring an extra heavy flange, a solid flange style end cap mount is
available for all bore sizes (refer to page 22). When a less rigid mount can be used and the cylinder
can be attached to a panel or bulkhead, an extended tie-rod mounting could be considered.

SIDE OR LUG MOUNTED CYLINDERS
The side or lug mounted cylinder provides a fairly rigid mount. These types of cylinders can tolerate a
slight amount of misalignment when the cylinder is at full stroke, but as the piston moves toward the
blind end, the tolerance for misalignment decreases. It is important to note that if the cylinder is used
properly (without misalignment), the mounting bolts are either in simple shear or tension without any
compound stresses.

DOUBLE ROD END CYLINDERS
Milwaukee Cylinder's Double Rod End Cylinders are available with all the standard types of Series
H mountings, except the clevis mount (H61).
To obtain dimensional information on a double rod end cylinder, first select the desired mounting
style and refer to the corresponding single rod end cylinder model shown on the preceding
pages. After you have determined all necessary dimensions from the previous page covering the
desired mounting, turn back to this page. Supplement those dimensions with additional ones
from the drawings below and the table at the right. These added dimensions differ from, or are in
addition to, those shown on the preceding pages and provide the additional information needed
to completely dimension a double rod end cylinder model.
On a double rod end cylinder where two different rod ends are required, or two different rod sizes
are required, or cushions on one end are required, be sure to state clearly which rod is to go at
which end of the cylinder. When two types of mounting styles are required, be sure to specify
their relationship to the piston rods, if they are not the same.

Series H, Design Options
DESIGN OPTIONS
Standard Ports
The Milwaukee Cylinder Series H cylinders
are manufactured as standard, with the
largest possible NPTF tapered thread ports
that will fit in both the rod and blind ends of
a given bore size. Upon request, extra ports
can be provided on the sides of the end
caps not occupied by mountings or cushion
adjusters.
Oversize Ports
On most bore sizes, welded bosses may
be provided for oversize NPTF ports. These
bosses protrude from the sides of the
end caps. For information as to the boss
height in relation to your bore and port
requirements, contact the factory. Also,
special heavier end caps can be provided
to accommodate oversize ports without the
use of a welded boss.
Straight Thread Ports
On request, an SAE straight thread O-Ring
port can be used on the Series H cylinders.
In addition to the standard oversize NPTF
ports, welded bosses may also be used for
oversize SAE straight thread O-Ring ports.
For further information contact the factory.
Note: Flange and manifold style ports are
available.
Bleeder Ports
Bleeder ports are not regularly furnished with
Series H cylinders. Automatic air bleeds are
standard on non-cushion cylinders. Bleeder
ports are available upon request. They will
be placed on either end cap or on the tube.
NOTE: Some flange overhang will occur
on heads or caps in most cylinder designs.
Overhang may interfere with some end
mountings.
Rod Boots
When cylinders are used in areas of high
contamination or where contaminants have
an air hardening property, the exposed
piston rod should be covered with a rod
boot to protect the rod bearing and seals. A
rod boot is simply a collapsible cover. It is
of sewn construction made from a neoprene
coated fabric. The rod boots are impervious
to oil, grease and water.
They will operate effectively from 0 F
to +200 F without cracking. For additional
details on Rod Boots, please see page 186.
Metallic Rod Wipers
If requested metallic rod wipers will
be supplied in place of the standard
synthetic rubber wiper. This type of seal
is recommended for applications where
contaminants would tend to cling to the
rod and damage a standard synthetic
rubber rod wiper.

Special Design Options
DESIGN OPTIONS FOR
SPECIAL CYLINDERS
Special Rod Ends
Modifications of standard or entirely
special rod ends are available from
Milwaukee Cylinder. When your
requirements call for a special rod end
style, your order should include a sketch
if it is to be an entirely special rod end
or note reference as to which letter
dimensions you wish to have modified
(see inside cover).
Special Assemblies from
Standard Parts
Each style of the various standard
cylinder mountings is illustrated, using
the commonly recognized cylinder
dimensional symbols of the National
Fluid Power Association. Each side of
the end views are numbered to aid in
communication when referring to the
relationship between the ports and the
mountings. When requesting information
or placing an order that requires a
dimension other than standard, always
make reference to the given dimensional
symbol in the catalog and then give your
requirements.
Cushion Adjustment Locations
A ball check and a cushion adjustment
needle are supplied as standard in
position #2 on most models. The
cushion needle and ball check are
interchangeable as far as location and
may be put in any side not occupied by
a port or mounting.
Port Locations
Ports are located in
position #1 as standard
unless otherwise
specified. By using the
position numbers given
with the end views in the
dimensional data section of this catalog,
ports can be arranged in any one of four
90 positions in relation to the cylinder
mounting. When ports are relocated
on a cushioned cylinder, the cushion
needle and ball check are automatically
relocated to hold their relationship to the
port as on a standard cylinder, unless
otherwise specified at the time of the
order.
Removable Trunnion Pins
Removable trunnion pins are available on
models H71 and H72 at a nominal extra
charge. They can be used on all bore
and rod combinations, except on the
largest oversize rods offered with each
bore size on all model H71 cylinders.
Single-Acting Cylinders
Series H cylinders are designed for either
single or double action. When used as
a single acting cylinder, hydraulic power
drives the piston in one direction, only
relying on either the load or an external
force to return the piston after the
pressure is exhausted.
Single-Acting Spring Cylinders
Single-acting spring return cylinders
normally have a spring inside of the
cylinder to return the piston to its original
position. The application load and
friction conditions must be specified
when placing an order to properly size
the spring. Also specify whether the
spring is to return or advance the piston.
A spring return cylinder is designed
with a stop tube to act as spring guide,
which prevents binding of the cylinder
due to misalignment of the spring.
To accurately determine the cylinder
length and mounting dimensions for
your application, contact your local
Milwaukee Cylinder representative or the
factory.
Water Service Cylinders
Series H cylinders can be used with
water as an operating fluid with some
standard modifications to the types
of material and the manufacturing
processes used. These modifications
will include, at some additional cost,
bronze piston, nickel plated end caps,
a hard chrome plated cylinder barrel
and a chrome plated piston or stainless
steel piston rod at extra cost. Due to
the increased factors of corrosion,
electrolysis and mineral deposits
acting within a water fitted cylinder,
Milwaukee Cylinder cannot warrant or
make any guarantees other than a water
service cylinder will be free of defects in
workmanship or materials.
Proximity Switches
End of Stroke Limit Switches:
We provide inductive
proximity switches for end
of stroke sensing. These
non-contact switches detect
the presence of the spud/
cushion bushing. See page
185 for more information.
Combined Mountings
Standard mountings may be combined
when specified by the customer. Some
examples of this are:
An H31 mount
constructed with
an H42 mount
blind end cap.
An H61 mount
constructed with
an H41 mount
blind end cap.
These and other combinations can
be readily made from standard
parts. If you are unsure of a possible
combination or if it will suit your
particular needs, consult with your local
Milwaukee Cylinder representative or
contact the factory.
Adjustable Stroke Cylinders
When a cylinder application requires
stroke adjustment, Milwaukee Cylinder
offers a number of designs, the most
common of which is illustrated below.
This particular design is externally
adjustable, incorporating a threaded rod
(of piston rod quality) with the standard
hydraulic rod end multiple lip vee seal
and bushing design. This provides a
proven-effective high and low pressure
seal, affording maximum sealing on the
stroke adjustment rod.
Further information concerning design
limitations, cushioning or alternate
designs can be obtained by contacting
the factory.

CE = rod clevis dimension (back inside cover)
XJ = mounting dimension page 18
Cylinder #7 see Figure 1
K = L/2 =(W* + Stroke)/2
When mounting long stroke cylinders, care
should be taken to assure cylinder alignment
over the entire length of stroke. The use
of external guides or swivel bushings is
recommended to reduce side load conditions
and prolong the cylinders service life.
Note: Stop tube length must be added to
K factor before making final selection of
rod size. This is primarily true in No. 5 long
stroke applications.
Stop Tube Length
Stop Tube
The stop tube is located between the
piston and the rod end cap. It limits
the extended stroke of the cylinder,
providing additional strength for less
cost and reduced weight than the use
of an oversize rod.

INSTALLATION FOR SERIES H
General Information
Cleanliness
The most important consideration when
installing the cylinder. When cylinders are
shipped from Milwaukee Cylinder, the
ports are securely plugged with plastic
plugs which should not be removed until
the piping is to be installed. All piping
should be thoroughly clean, to include the
removal of all threading and flaring burrs
or chips, before making the connection
to the cylinder ports. One chip can cause
premature failure of the cylinder or other
hydraulic system components.
Alignment
Improper alignment will result in excessive
cylinder wear. Check to assure rod
alignment between the cylinder and its
mating component on your machine in both
the extended and retracted positions.
Environment
Cylinders operating in areas where there
is weld splatter, fast drying chemicals,
paint, excessive heat or other hazardous
conditions, should have covers or shields to
prevent damage to the rod and rod seals.
Bleeding
Air within the cylinder or system will cause
erratic operation of the cylinder. Milwaukee
Cylinders generally do not require bleed
ports if the cylinder ports are mounted in
an upright position. Several full strokes of
the cylinder will purge air from the cylinder
into the circuit piping, where it can be
bled off. Bleeder ports are available for
applications where the cylinder is the high
point of the circuit or where the cylinder
does not complete a full stroke during its
normal cycle.
Series H, Installation
MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS
Foot Mounted Cylinders
The use of high strength alloy steel
mounting bolts 1/16" smaller than the hole
size is recommended. After final alignment,
foot mounted cylinders should be dowel
pinned in place.
Trunnion Mounted Cylinders
Lubricated pillow blocks designed for close
tolerance applications should be used. It
is important to rigidly mount and align the
pillow blocks so that the trunnion pins will
not be subjected to any extreme bending
moments The rod end should be pivoted
with the pivot pin in line and parallel to the
axis of the trunnion pins.
Flush Mount Cylinders
The use of high strength alloy steel
mounting bolts is recommended. Shear
keys should be used to reduce the stress
on the mounting bolts created by the
normal push and pull forces created by the
cylinder cycle.
Flange Mount Cylinders
The controlled diameter rod bushing
extension can be used as a pilot to locate
the flange mount. Dowel pins should be
used after the cylinder is mounted and
aligned to prevent shifting.
Clevis Mount Cylinders
This type of cylinder must be pivoted at
both ends and the pins must be in line and
parallel to each other. After the cylinder is
mounted, the customer should check to
assure that the cylinder is free to swing
through its working arc without interference
from other machined parts.
STORAGE
Often times, cylinders are delivered before a
customer is prepared to install them and must
be stored for a period of time. When storage is
required:
1. Select an area indoors for storage, which
has dry and non-corrosive atmosphere.
Take caution to protect the cylinder from
both internal and external corrosion.
2. Cylinders to be stored should be kept in a
vertical position (piston rod up) whenever
possible.
3. Port protector plugs should be kept in the
cylinder ports until the time of installation.

CYLINDER TROUBLE SHOOTING
1. External leakage
If leaking occurs between the end cap and
barrel, check tie-rod torque. Do not over
torque. If the torque is correct, then replace
the barrel seal. When leakage occurs in the
rod bushing area, replace the rod seals.
If leakage continues or reoccurs in short
period of operation, check items 2 thru 5,
page 33.
2. Cylinder misalignment
Side load is a common problem which
occurs when the cylinder application does
not allow the piston rod to work in line
during the extend and retract motions of the
cylinder. Evidence of this is excessive seal
failure, bushing wear or galling of the piston
rod. Often, bending of the piston rod or
complete failure (breakage) of the rod occurs.
3. Contamination on the piston rod
Dirt and other material is often picked up
when the piston rod is extended. When
the rod is retracted in an excessive dirty
application, it often carries the dirt back
into the rod seal cavity of the cylinder,
causing damage to the seals. With a slight
modification of the cylinder rod end, a
rod boot can be added to protect the rod
bushing and seals for most applications.
4. Bad mountings
Due to wear of pivot pins or mounting bolts
working loose, a cylinder may have side
load, even though the rod was in line when
the cylinder was first installed. All cylinder
mountings should be checked periodically.
5. Damaged piston rod
An extended piston rod can be damaged
by the impact of a hard object which could
burr the rod. If this occurs, the rod should
be checked immediately to prevent seal
damage.
6. Internal leakage
Inside the cylinder, leakage past the piston
seals can cause sluggish movement
or settling of the cylinder under load
conditions. This occurs due to leakage of
worn piston seals or rings.
7. Creeping cylinder
When a cylinder is stopped in midstroke
and it creeps, check for internal leakage.
Creeping can also be caused by a worn
control valve and this should be checked,
even if the cylinder is found to have internal
leakage.
8. Erratic operation
When a cylinder is erratic or sluggish
in operation, this may be caused by a
number of problems. The most common
cause of sluggish operation is air in the
system. Internal leakage could also be a
cause. If the system starts out sluggishly
and, as it warms, speeds up, the oil may
be of too high viscosity. The whole system
should be checked for worn components
if after these checks, the cylinder is still
operating in a sluggish manner.
CYLINDER MAINTENANCE
Rod Seal Replacement
When changing rod seals, extend the piston rod
3" or more if possible, being sure to support
the rod at all times. Remove the retainer plate
screws (if tie-rod nuts have to be removed,
refer to the nut torque specification on this
page when reassembling the cylinder), retainer
plate and outer bushing. Using an eye hook
or thin screwdriver, pry the vees from the end
cap cavity (if low pressure air is applied to the
rod end port, this will help to force the vees
from the cavity). The new set of vees should
be assembled into the cavity separately and
lubed with the soft vee in the center. Replace
the rod wiper in the bushing and reassemble
the cylinder.
Piston Seal Replacement
When changing piston seals, extend the
piston rod 3" or more if possible, being sure
to support the piston rod and the piston at all
times. *Remove the tie-rod nuts, blind end cap,
the barrel and then the piston seals. A light
grease, compatible with the system fluid,
should be used on the rings and block vee
seals for smooth assembly. Install the block vee
piston seals, scarf cutting on only the back-up
washers. Then install the cast iron rings with
the joints in opposite directions. To reassemble,
start the piston into the tube, compressing
the cast iron rings using twine or a ring
compressor. When the piston block vee seal
is to the edge of the barrel, use a thin rounded
blade to start the lip of the block vee, making
sure the entire lip is started before moving the
piston further into the tube.
*Note: When a cylinder has been disassembled
this far, the barrel seals should at least be
inspected, if not replaced.
Barrel Seal Replacement
When replacing barrel seals, use the same
method of disassembling the cylinder as used
when replacing piston seals. The barrel seal
consists of a backup washer and O-Ring,
which is assembled on the first step of both
ends of the tube, with the backup washer going
on first. The outer diameter of the tube groove
on the end caps must be checked for nicks or
burrs and then greased. Position the end caps
squarely on the tube (check to make sure port
location is correct) and firmly force or tap the
end cap over the tube until it bottoms. Check
to make sure the O-Ring did not shear and then
finish assembling the cylinder.
