RAM Industries designs and manufactures pneumatic cylinders specific to your unique applications. Industries that frequently incorporate pneumatic cylinders include material handling, packaging, agriculture, automation, entertainment, marine, transportation, food production and medical.

Pneumatic cylinders are powered using compressed air instead of hydraulic fluid. When lower power is required, these air cylinders are a reliable fluid power alternative to hydraulic cylinders. Pneumatic systems are known for having a longer operating life. They also have low maintenance requirements.

The RAM engineering team works closely with the experts in your operation to produce custom cylinders engineered for your OEM equipment requirements.

• These cylinders are available as single-acting and double-acting cylinders using one or two ports to operate. Single-acting pneumatic cylinders can be configured with an optional spring return or extension for use in unique applications.

• A range of barrel materials can be used for pneumatic cylinders, including stainless steel, aluminum and chrome plated on the inside barrel. These materials are corrosion resistant, which helps provide protection against moisture in the air.

• Rod thread lengths can be produced specifically to your requirements in applications where a standard mount is not used, including non-standard thread sizes. Rod extensions can also be manufactured with non-standard lengths. 

RAM’s custom approach ensures your pneumatic cylinders provided easy interchangeability with existing cylinders and meet fit and performance requirements for existing and new equipment.

Reach out to RAM’s engineering department with your pneumatic projects so we can provide solutions that meet your specifications and expectations.

Incorporating hydraulic valves as part of your cylinder design help you control fluid flow in your hydraulic system. Various valves can be used to regulate pressure, control flow volume and fluid direction.

RAM can perfectly match equipment specifications with a custom-designed valve configuration. Any size or type of cylinder can accommodate control valves to help improve the performance of your equipment.

Integrating control valves can provide easier assembly and maintenance with fewer components to change and connections to monitor.

One type of hydraulic valve incorporated into RAM designs is Depth Control Valves. These valves are often used with synchronizing cylinder applications to help control the oil flow while continuously monitoring the ground pressure. This maintains a consistent desired working depth for your application even on uneven terrain.

RAM’s custom approach provides flexibility with the types of valves incorporated and how the valves are mounted. Your equipment is unique to your application, so should your cylinder designs.

Synchronizing cylinders are the perfect solution for applications that require two or more cylinders to extend and retract in near-unison.

RAM Industries Synchronizing hydraulic cylinders implement rephasing technology that enables a master cylinder and one or more slave cylinders to reliably retract in synchronization.

RAM’s standard synchronizing cylinder designs have a rephasing groove machined at the position of full extension allowing the oil to bypass the piston seal when fully extended.

The rephasing passageway enables the cylinders to rephase, operating evenly to raise and lower an implement to the desired working depth. Rephasing also allows air to be purged from the system.

RAM also offers an optional ball check synchronizing cylinder design. This custom machined port uses a ball to block the rephasing groove to enable retraction at any position.

All RAM hydraulic cylinders can be customized to fit your equipment requirements perfectly. Adding a depth control valve assembly will provide precise and infinite control of the rod movement.
