Hydraulic cylinder, convertible top drive
Saab 900 (-1993)
09.02.2026The hydraulic cylinders on the Saab 900 can be connected in different ways. The difference lies in the direction of the connection on the piston side. This can point inwards or outwards. Different hose sets are also installed for the different variants, but Saab did not assign different part numbers for this at the time. It may therefore be necessary to rotate the connection by 180°.
In the cylinder shown, the connection points inwards. As this is the more common variant, we supply them in this way. The connection fittings have a tapered sealing thread in the cylinder.
In some cylinders, the sealing threads are not one hundred per cent tight in the required direction. If they are then tightened by 360°, the thread may be damaged.
In such a case, the thread of the fitting in the cylinder must be additionally sealed. If the thread is already oily, the use of Teflon sealing tape is recommended. If the thread is clean, a stable liquid thread sealant can also be used, for example Loctite 586. Please note the curing times of the thread sealant and do not fill the hydraulic system too early.
