Description
Position compact industrial loads with Power Team 20 Ton 0.44in hydraulic force when machinery clearance is too low for a conventional jack. Experienced millwrights and maintenance technicians gain 20-ton lifting capacity through a 0.44-inch cylinder stroke during machine leveling, flange separation, and confined-space alignment, but can a short-stroke ram replace mechanical blocking or cribbing? Its Power-Tech-treated cylinder body, piston, and gland nut support single-acting hydraulic lifting, not permanent load support.
Model RLS200 uses a single-acting spring-return design with a domed piston rod, upward-angled coupler, and 3/8-inch NPTF oil port. The cylinder body, piston, and gland nut receive Power-Team treatment for corrosion and abrasion resistance. Product data lists a 5.95-lb weight, United States origin, ANSI/ASME B30.1 compliance, and a low-height RLS configuration ranging from approximately 1.63 to 4 inches. Confirm the exact closed height and extension dimensions before placement.
Features of Power Team Cylinder
Millwrights, structural ironworkers, machinery installers, and maintenance crews need a low-profile hydraulic cylinder for tight gaps beneath equipment and structural assemblies. Trained operators can use this single-acting ram with a compatible hydraulic pump when the load path, saddle contact, pressure rating, and mechanical support are controlled.
- 20-ton capacity supports compatible machinery leveling and confined-space lifting tasks.
- 0.44-inch stroke provides short controlled movement for separation and alignment work.
- Single-acting operation uses hydraulic pressure for extension and spring return for retraction.
- Power-Tech treatment helps protect the cylinder body, piston, and gland nut.
- Domed piston rod helps reduce the effects of off-center loading.
- Upward-angled coupler provides additional clearance for pump-hose connection.
- 3/8-inch NPTF oil port supports compatible hydraulic pump connections.
- ANSI/ASME B30.1 compliance is listed for the cylinder product line.
Hydraulic Load Test Control
No independent seal test, pressure telemetry, piston-deflection measurement, spring-return timing, or proof-load report was supplied. Do not treat 20 tons as a proof load or use hydraulic pressure as permanent support. Off-center loading, side force, contaminated fluid, damaged couplers, unstable saddles, and insufficient cribbing can cause cylinder movement or load loss. Maintain mechanical support after achieving the required position.
Hydraulic Limits Service
The short stroke, spring return, domed piston rod, treated components, and angled coupler support confined machinery lifting and alignment. This cylinder is not verified for pulling, personnel lifting, continuous suspended-load holding, side loading, or operation without properly rated cribbing and a compatible hydraulic pump.
- Inspect the piston rod, cylinder body, gland nut, coupler, hose, and saddle before use.
- Use clean compatible hydraulic fluid and prevent dirt from entering the coupler or oil port.
- Retract the piston after service and support every raised load with mechanical blocking.
Warranty Compliance Contents
Power Team lists a Lifetime Warranty Against Manufacturer’s Defects for model RLS200. Package contents identify one 20-ton cylinder. Confirm current warranty terms, ANSI/ASME B30.1 documentation, compatible pump requirements, coupler configuration, operator instructions, saddle details, and inspection documentation before hydraulic lifting service.
