Dimensions are in millimetres and are taken from the current drawing for each model. Before ordering, ask us for the drawing of the exact model so the mounting dimensions are checked against your frame — the table is for selection, the drawing is what we build to.

Where this cylinder is used

Selection is driven by the duty cycle, not the catalogue. Tell us the load, the stroke you need and how many cycles per day — those three numbers decide the series and often the port configuration.

Questions buyers ask before ordering

What pressure does the unit come set to?
180 bar as standard, within a 50–250 bar working range. The relief valve is set at assembly, so tell us the pressure your circuit actually needs rather than adjusting it on site.
Which reservoir size should I choose?
Between 3 and 16 litres. A common starting point is three times the pump flow per minute for intermittent duty, so a 6 L/min system lands around 18 L if it runs continuously — for short cycles a smaller tank is usually enough.
Can it run from a 24 V truck electrical system?
Yes. The motor is available in 12 V or 24 V DC, which is the reason this unit is used on trailers and vehicle-mounted equipment rather than needing a generator.
What control options are available?
Cable remote or wireless remote, with BSPP 1/4" or BSPP 3/8" ports. Mounting can be horizontal or vertical, which matters when the unit has to fit behind a body panel.

Need this sized for your equipment?

Send the load, stroke and mounting envelope. We will come back with the model that fits and the drawing for it.
