Rexroth CDT3ME5 63 45 370Z1X B11CHDTWW Hydraulic Tie-Rod Cylinder
Overview
The Rexroth CDT3ME5 63 45 370Z1X B11CHDTWW is a high-performance hydraulic tie-rod cylinder from the Bosch Rexroth CDT3 series. As a CD (differential cylinder) in tie-rod design, it consistently converts hydraulic energy into efficient linear motion. This model is part of the robust "Z" series and is built to strict ISO 6020, DIN 24554, and NF/ISO 6020 standards, ensuring global mechanical compatibility and straightforward integration into existing hydraulic systems.
Designed to offer a service life up to five times longer than conventional cylinders, it is an ideal choice for industrial environments that demand both durability and cost-effectiveness.
Technical Features
Robust Tie-Rod Construction & Integrated Guide Socket - The cylinder uses a lightweight yet strong tie-rod construction. Its key feature is the precisely machined, one-piece cylinder head that integrates the piston rod guide socket. This design simplifies maintenance and significantly extends service life.
ME5 Mounting Style with Bottom Flange - The "ME5" mounting type (Rectangular flange on cylinder head) offers a secure axial foot-mounted installation.
Compact Specifications (63 mm Bore, 45 mm Rod, 370 mm Stroke) - The cylinder has a 63 mm piston diameter and a 45 mm piston rod diameter with a 370 mm stroke. The CDT3 series supports piston diameters up to 200 mm and stroke lengths up to 3000 mm.
Reliable Pressure Ratings - Designed for a nominal operating pressure of 160 bar. For static loads, it can withstand a maximum working pressure of 210 bar (static test pressure 240 bar), ensuring reliable performance in diverse conditions.
Hard Chrome-Plated Piston Rod - The piston rod features hard chrome plating ("C" type) which provides excellent wear resistance, high surface hardness, and robust protection against corrosion to ensure a long service life.
Adjustable End-Position Cushioning on Both Sides - The cylinder is equipped with adjustable end cushioning (Type D) on both ends. This progressive damping system allows for controlled deceleration, reducing impact forces and eliminating shock at the end of the stroke.
Comprehensive Corrosion Protection (R1 Class) - Features an R1 corrosion protection class, proven by a 240-hour salt spray test (SST per DIN EN ISO 9227) and a 240-hour condensation test (per DIN EN ISO 6270-2), with a minimum dry film thickness of 40 μm in Gentian blue (RAL 5010).
Standardized Porting & Sealing - The ports are ISO 1179-1 (B port type) with G 1 1/2 threads. The standard sealing system (Type T) is compatible with mineral oils HL, HLP, and HFA emulsions.
Low Minimum Operating Pressure - For a single-rod differential cylinder like this, a minimum pressure of 10 bar is recommended for no-load operation and 20 bar for loaded conditions to ensure proper functionality.
Patented Safety Venting Valve - Includes a patented safety venting valve for easy and safe bleeding of air from the hydraulic system, preventing potential damage from air pockets.
Wide Operating Conditions - Operating temperature range: -40°C to +93°C. Speed: Up to 0.3 m/s.
Fluid Cleanliness Requirement - The maximum permissible contamination level of the hydraulic fluid must be maintained at ISO 4406 (c) class 20/18/15 to ensure proper operation and extend service life. Effective filtration is essential to prevent malfunctions and extend component life.
Key Functionalities
Linear Force Conversion & Motion - The primary function is to convert hydraulic energy (pressure and flow into mechanical linear force and motion). As a differential cylinder with a larger cap-side piston area than rod-side annular area, it achieves faster extension speeds, optimizing cycle times in certain circuits.
Precise Position Control - The combination of precision engineering, a hard chrome-plated rod, and adjustable cushioning allows for accurate and controlled movement of the piston, making it suitable for positioning heavy loads with precision.
Smooth Deceleration via Adjustable Cushioning - The double-sided adjustable cushioning system automatically decelerates the piston as it approaches the stroke end, reducing shock, vibration, and noise to protect equipment in high-velocity applications.
High Reliability & Long Service Life - The robust tie-rod design, heavy-duty integrated piston rod guide, and R1 corrosion-resistant finish ensure high reliability and minimal maintenance requirements.
Easy Integration & Maintenance - Conforming to international ISO standards, the cylinder can be easily integrated into existing hydraulic systems. The integrated guide socket and standardized sealing system simplify maintenance tasks.
