Single-Acting General-Purpose Cylinder

The RC Series is a range of high-strength single-acting hydraulic cylinders with spring return, built for general lifting, pushing and positioning in industrial workshops, plants and construction sites. Engineered to be used in any mounting position, the RC delivers full rated force through a hard-wearing alloy steel body with a hard-chrome-plated plunger. Models are available from 5 kN to 100 kN across 39 standard sizes, and every unit ships with an SQB-3/8UF female coupler and dust cap for immediate connection to a pump.

Optional Attachment

The MDW square drive hydraulic torque wrench range spans 112 to 72,000 N·m in 11 standard models, with bolt capacity from M14 to M125. A single tool family covers light flange work through heavy structural bolting, so your crew standardizes on one platform with common pumps, hoses and high-strength sockets instead of mixing tools from different suppliers.
