HYDRA-DYNE ACTUATORS
Thru-Hole Hydraulic Rams

Model 70537, 70550, 70562

By inserting a rod through the hollow piston, these cylinders can be used to push or pull depending on the orientation of the ram. They will actuate a rod of any length or shape and are extremely effective in translating power to a remote location. Greater forces are generated in these thru-hole rams because of their larger piston area.

  • Larger piston diameter for greater clamping forces
  • Hardened steel piston and rod
  • Single-acting for simple plumbing
  • Optional threaded inserts
  • Optional mounting plate (permits mounting ram with a single cap screw)
