Miniature Internal Thread (MIT)

Bore:
    0.75" to 2.00"

Working Pressure:
    2,500 PSI

Our Series MIT is our Miniature Internal Thread hydraulic cylinder. It's a welded construction cylinder with an internal threaded gland rated for 3,000 psi working pressure and 4,000 psi non-shock pressure.

To strengthen the open end of the cylinder, a thick ring is welded to the barrel to carry the internal thread and port. Both ports are machined into the cylinder barrel itself, which means localized weld distortion and the stress concentration that arises from welding half couplings for ports are eliminated. The internal threads that hold the gland will not corrode since they are constantly submersed in oil. To accommodate our customers wide range of requirements, we manufacture the barrel and rod to order for every hydraulic cylinder to provide the exact stroke and pin to pin dimensions as required. Various combinations of mounting accessories can also be installed onto the cylinder to suit most applications. Other rod materials and mounting styles as needed, such as trunnion and flange mount, areavailable on request.

All MIT cylinders have National Pipe Thread (NPT) ports. The blind end port is always placed at 90° to the center line of a fixed pin axis. The clevis style of blind end always has two ports, one in line with the rear port and one that is at 90° to this port.

Whenever possible, spherical bearings mounts should be used on both ends of the cylinders. This will reduce any mounting misalignment and side loading that may be introduced into the cylinder. This type of loading should definitely be avoided on cylinders with small diameter rods such as used on this series.
