2.5" Bore Cross Tube Hydraulic Cylinders

2.5" Bore Cross Tube Hydraulic Cylinders

The 2.5-inch bore cross tube family covers one of the widest stroke ranges in the BMF Hydraulics lineup. With options from short 4-inch travel through 60-inch stroke, it is a versatile size for equipment repairs and custom hydraulic mechanisms that need moderate cylinder force with cross-tube mounting.

Available Stroke Lengths

Choose from 4", 6", 8", 10", 12", 14", 16", 18", 20", 22", 24", 26", 28", 30", 32", 36", 40", 42", 48" and 60" stroke variants. Select the stroke from the product options to view the corresponding SKU and price.

Cross Tube Cylinder Construction

• Action: Double acting
• Mounting: Welded cross-tube end mounts
• Operating Pressure: Up to 3,500 PSI
• Tube: High-tensile honed cold-drawn steel
• Rod: Ground and polished hard-chrome-plated steel
• Sealing: Five-component compact sealing system with polyurethane rod seal and wiper

This bore size is frequently applicable to loaders, agricultural equipment, material-handling systems, trailers and other mobile machinery. The welded construction is intended for applications where the cylinder pivots on pins through the cross-tube mounts as the linkage moves through its operating arc.

Choosing the Correct Cylinder

Because this family spans many stroke lengths, start with the exact required travel rather than choosing by overall appearance. Confirm bore, stroke, pin dimensions, mounting width, port configuration and center-to-center lengths against the original cylinder or machine drawing.
