Designed for operating pressures up to 700 bar, these cylinders are available in single-acting, double-acting, and pull-type configurations and meet the requirements of ANSI B30.1. Capacities range from 2 to 1 220 tons (approximately 1.8 to 1 107 metric tonnes), with stroke lengths from 8 mm to 511 mm, supporting a wide variety of lifting and positioning applications. Selected Power Team cylinder series also feature standard swivel caps, helping to reduce side loading and improve operational safety and performance.
RSS Series Shorty, Single-Acting, Spring Return Cylinders
Tonnage range: 10–250 tons
Ideal for confined areas with 89–291 mm (3 1/2–11 7/16 in.) clearance
RSS Series Shorty cylinders are designed for high-force lifting in tight, space-restricted environments. With a low collapsed height and rugged construction, these single-acting, spring-return cylinders deliver reliable performance where clearance is limited.
