Description
Force tight assemblies with Power Team 20 Ton 1.75in Cylinder stroke control when machinery clearance is too limited for a long hydraulic ram. Experienced millwrights and maintenance crews gain short-travel lifting during flange separation, equipment leveling, and structural alignment, but can the cylinder hold an off-center load without proper support? Its Power-Tech-treated piston rod, grooved piston top, angled coupler, heavy-duty return spring, and low-profile RSS construction support confined hydraulic work.
Model RSS202 is a 20-ton, 1.75-inch-stroke, single-acting spring-return cylinder. The RSS Series operates in confined spaces from approximately 3-1/2 to 11-7/16 inches of clearance. Product features include ANSI/ASME B30.1 compliance, a 5-degree upward-angled coupler, grooved piston top, dead-ending capability at full capacity, and Power-Tech nitro-carburization for rod and piston protection. Published product weight is 1.54 lbs, which should be confirmed before transport planning.
Features of Power Team RSS
Machinery leveling, structural repair, industrial maintenance, and compact-space forcing require short hydraulic travel with controlled return. Trained operators can use this RSS cylinder with a compatible pump after confirming saddle contact, pressure rating, load direction, and mechanical support.
- 20-ton capacity supports compatible machinery leveling and forcing applications.
- 1.75-inch stroke provides short controlled movement for alignment work.
- Single-acting spring return retracts the piston after pressure release.
- Grooved piston top helps reduce load sliding during placement.
- Upward-angled coupler provides additional hose clearance.
- Power-Tech treatment helps resist corrosion and piston-rod scoring.
- Dead-ending capability supports full-capacity positioning when approved by the manufacturer.
Hydraulic Load Test Control
No independent pressure telemetry, seal test, piston-deflection measurement, proof-load certificate, stroke-speed result, or off-center loading test was supplied. Do not treat 20 tons as a proof load or use hydraulic pressure as permanent support. Unstable saddles, side loading, contaminated fluid, damaged couplers, and inadequate cribbing can cause movement or load loss.
Hydraulic Limits Service
The short stroke, spring return, grooved piston, Power-Tech treatment, angled coupler, and low-clearance format support confined machinery lifting. This cylinder is not verified for personnel lifting, unsupported suspended loads, side loading, pulling beyond its configuration, or operation without mechanical blocking.
- Inspect piston rod, cylinder body, gland, coupler, saddle, and return spring before use.
- Keep hydraulic fluid clean and protect couplers from dust and impact.
- Support every raised load mechanically and remove the cylinder after leakage or rod damage.
Warranty Compliance Contents
Power Team lists a Lifetime Warranty Against Manufacturer’s Defects for model RSS202 and ANSI/ASME B30.1 compliance. Package contents identify one 20-ton cylinder. Confirm current warranty terms, pump compatibility, coupler configuration, piston-head details, operator instructions, and inspection requirements before hydraulic service.
