Product Questions & Answers (2)

Question by: Gene K on Jul 3, 2025, 10:57 AM
got a press job that needs some real push. this cylinder really rated for 55 ton, or is that just for lifting?
Answer by: Customer Support on Jul 4, 2025, 2:00 PM
Built for lifting and pressing, it is a 55 ton single acting cylinder with an 11.04 square inch effective area, so the capacity is intended for those high force jobs, not just one type of use.
Question by: Marvin B on Dec 25, 2025, 3:01 PM
Can this cylinder handle being off-center a bit, or does everything need to be perfectly lined up?
Answer by: Customer Support on Dec 26, 2025, 8:42 PM
This cylinder uses an aluminum bronze bearing that helps minimize wear even if your loads aren't perfectly centered. It adds a bit of forgiveness in real-world use.
