The product line includes welded hydraulic cylinders, heavy-duty tie-rod cylinders, and double-acting DC hydraulic power units. Welded cylinders are available in multiple mounting configurations—drilled rod mount, clevis mount, and adjustable port cross-tube mount—with bore diameters ranging from 2 in to 4 in and stroke lengths from 16 in to 42 in. These cylinders are double-acting and rated for pressures up to 3,070 lb (for the 2 in bore model) and 33,890 lb (for the 4 in bore model). Tie-rod cylinders include standard heavy-duty and rephasing variants, with bore diameters such as 3 1/2 in, stroke lengths like 12 in, and rod diameters of 1 1/4 in or 1 1/2 in, using #8 SAE ports. The hydraulic power units deliver 1.2 gpm at a maximum pressure of 2,800 psi, with a 6-quart poly reservoir and 12V DC operation, featuring SAE 6 ports. CHIEF products are used in applications requiring reliable linear actuation and hydraulic power, such as agricultural equipment, construction machinery, material handling, and industrial automation. 3G Electric stocks a range of CHIEF cylinders and power units, offering global logistics support for procurement specialists and maintenance managers. The brand is known for its focus on durability and compatibility with standard hydraulic systems, with welded cylinders suited for high-cycle environments and tie-rod cylinders for applications needing easy maintenance. All products are designed to meet common industry specifications for pressure ratings, port sizes, and mounting dimensions, facilitating direct replacement or integration into existing hydraulic circuits.
