Series: RCH | Product Line: Industrial Tools

  • Advanced Surface Treatment – The cylinder body, piston, and stop ring undergo a gas nitriding + post-oxidation process, providing excellent wear resistance, self-lubrication, and superior corrosion protection.

  • Topcoat Painting – A final paint coating enhances visual identification and further improves overall corrosion resistance.

  • External Thread Protector (Nylon) – Made of reinforced nylon, it effectively shields the cylinder’s external ring thread from damage during handling and use.

  • Hollow Plunger Design – Enables both pulling and pushing force applications, maximizing versatility.

  • Single-Acting, Spring Return – Simple, safe, and reliable operation with automatic retraction.

  • G80 High-Strength Lifting Ring (Large Tonnage Models) – Certified lifting rings ensure secure and easy transport of heavy cylinders.

  • Standard Quick Coupling & Dust Cap – All models come standard with CEJN quick couplers and protective dust caps for fast, clean connections.

  • Base Mounting Holes – Provided on all models for stable and secure installation.

  • Polyurethane Seals – Deliver superior sealing performance, high wear resistance, and extended service life.

  • Threaded Hollow Piston – Allows mounting of custom saddles or adapters to suit a wide range of specialized applications.

  • Industrial-Grade Wiper Seal – Minimizes contamination ingress, significantly extending hydraulic cylinder life.

  • All-Weather Protection – From internal components to external finishes, the RCH series is built to perform reliably in harsh environments, indoors and out.

  • Removable hard saddle to prevent damage to the piston when in contact with rough surfaces.
  • The piston rod adopts gas nitriding treatment,featuring excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance.
  • Powerful spring for rapid return stroke.
  • The Swedish CEJN coupler and dust cap ensure safety throughout.
  • Dust seal, preventing external impurities from entering the interior of the cylinder and causing contamination or damage.
  • The gas-nitrided stop ring is used to absorb eccentric load and prevent plunger over-travel.
  • The cylinder body is treated by gas nitriding plus post-oxidation process,followsed by external baked painting to deliver superior corrosion resistance
  • Dust seal, preventing external impurities from entering the interior of the cylinder and causing contamination or damage.
  • High-pressure seal to achieve zero internal leakage in the hydraulic system, reducing wear and extending service life.
