Hydraulic Cylinder Bolt Torque Chart
As a general rule:
• 1/2-inch bolts are used in cylinders with 1-inch rods
• 5/8-inch bolts are used in cylinders with 1 1/4-inch rods
• 3/4-inch bolts are used in cylinders with 1 1/2-inch rods
• 7/8-inch bolts are used in cylinders with 1 3/4-inch rods
• 1-inch bolts are used in cylinders with 2-inch rods (one with 1 3/4-inch)
• 1-1/8-inch bolts are used in cylinders with 2-1/4-inch rods
IMPORTANT: Do not reuse cylinder piston bolts when rebuilding a hydraulic cylinder. Each cylinder repair
kit contains a new bolt. Use it. Lubricate lightly and torque to value shown on chart.
