Range of single acting, lightweight, aluminium cylinders specifically designed for applications where weight and ease of positioning are features of prime importance. Aluminium cylinders offer the benefit of greatly reduced weight compared to conventional steel cylinders.
With an average weight of approximately 50% of comparable capacity steel construction cylinders, all models are supplied with a hard anodised, wear resistant, piston rod and cylinder body and a steel cylinder base protection plate.
Due to the inherent nature of the material, these cylinders are not recommended for use in high cycle production applications. The recommended life cycle is estimated at approximately 5000 operations at maximum pressure, which in most lifting and maintenance applications represents a more than acceptable period of usage.
All models are commonly used in a wide variety of industrial applications in shipyards, steel mills, construction and power plants.
