got a tight spot under a machine base. how short is this thing and how much travel do you actually get?

For tight clearances, this RSM50 is a low height cylinder with a 0.25 in stroke, so it only lifts a quarter inch. It is rated for 4.9 ton capacity and runs up to 10,000 psi max operating pressure.

Got a tight spot under some machinery where I need to do a little lifting, will this cylinder actually retract on its own or do I need to manually pull the plunger back down?
Answer by: Customer Support on Dec 4, 2025, 8:28 PM
Spring return is built right into it, so the plunger pulls itself back without any help from the load or the operator. A lot of pancake-style cylinders depend on the weight of whatever you're lifting to push the plunger back down, which can be a real problem in horizontal setups or lighter-load situations. This one handles retraction on its own, which makes it faster to cycle and a whole lot more practical when you're working in cramped conditions.
