RCG5012, 55 ton (489,3 kN) Capacity, 11.81 in (300 mm) Stroke, Single-Acting, High Tonnage Hydraulic Cylinder
Item ID: RCG5012
Product Description
Simplex RCG Series Hydraulic Cylinders are built for heavy load applications, making them ideal for heavy-duty civil engineering applications. These powerful single acting, load return cylinders use the weight of the load to return the cylinder plunger to its starting position.
Each RCG Cylinder is manufactured using advanced technologies and undergoes rigorous testing to ensure complete safety and maximum performance.
The cylinder exterior is finished with an enamel coating to extend cylinder life, and a wiper protects the inner cylinder assembly from dirt, moisture, and other contaminants.
