RAM's welded cylinders are known to be a durable, reliable option and work efficiently under pressure.

Standard designs like our YORK line of cylinders use high-strength materials like high-tensile cold-drawn steel. The increased strength allows them to handle higher pressure ratings and withstand external forces. Superior seal packages can increase life expectancy and work well in applications that involve extreme weather and external contaminants.

When space is at a premium, a reduced cross-sectional area can fit better in many types of machinery. These welded cylinders are concentric and centrally aligned, making them resistant to internal stresses. RAM ensures accuracy in the fit between various components.

RAM's team of highly skilled welders is an essential component of delivering dependable hydraulic cylinders. Our team uses a combination of manual, semi-automated, and automated welding.

RAM can customize welded cylinders specific to your equipment. We aim to provide cylinder solutions that meet your precise fit and performance requirements.

Fluid power steering systems have a long history of dependability and reliability.

Years ago, early vehicles relied on hydraulic fluid power for their steering systems. Today, off-road equipment in many industries continues to use hydraulic cylinders as part of their steering mechanisms. Current applications of hydraulic steering include harvesting equipment (such as in orchards and vineyards), military maintenance equipment, self-propelled snow removal equipment, and machinery used in construction, mining, forestry and marine industries.

RAM custom designs and builds hydraulic steering cylinders for many types of equipment. Our steering cylinders provide the force required to activate a steering system with a minimum of physical output.

There are three main requirements to consider in the design and selection of steering cylinders.

1. The specifications for these cylinders must be very precise. They require a zero-play connection between the linkage and the steering cylinder. Three main connection types provide the snug fit needed – tie rod ends, spherical bearings or bushing type connections. Whatever option is selected by the customer, the design will have a very tight tolerance.
2. There is an adjustment required to the cylinder's length to compensate for inconsistencies in the steering linkages. This adjustment keeps the tires or steering devices aligned. RAM can provide threaded ends on the outside or inside diameter, allowing for adjustment of the cylinder length for the final alignment.
3. Precision movement and holding will ensure consistent control of the steering function. RAM achieves this cylinder control by incorporating advanced seal packs. These seals guarantee zero leakage or drift, while allowing the cylinders to respond according to your physical input.

Many other cylinder design options may be applicable to your steering system, including:

• A variety of pressure ratings for the steering or control system.
• Bore sizes to match the force needed for the application.
• Various porting sizes and positions can be added based on your equipment fit requirements.
• The addition of fail-safe valving is available to lock the steering cylinder if a catastrophic failure occurs on the oil lines.
• Position sensing technology can be incorporated to provide real-time digital or analogue feedback of the cylinder stroke position during operation.

 Your cylinder mount is a critical component of your hydraulic system design. RAM has over 45 years’ experience producing cylinders with custom mounting options to fit your OEM equipment precisely.

Integrate ports and valves into your cylinder mount for a distinct space-saving solution. A consolidated mount provides a streamlined design by reducing the cross-section to fit into confined spaces.

Integrated cylinder mounts also provide valve and porting location flexibility. Designs can place these mounts on the butt end shaft of the cylinder

This integration simplifies the overall hydraulic circuitry resulting in fewer components and a faster final assembly. Valves ‘hard plumbed’ into the cylinder also reduce the likelihood of catastrophic connection failures.

Match the cylinder mount to your OEM equipment to ensure longevity and prevent failure. RAM’s engineers work with your team’s experts to ensure your cylinder design provides optimal performance and safety.

Choose a custom engineered hydraulic cylinder solution to give your equipment a leading-edge!

RAM Industries has the stabilizer hydraulic cylinder solutions you need for your levelling or outrigging applications. These versatile cylinders are commonly used in a wide range of applications in the oil & gas and aggregate industries. Other applications include - mobile cranes, service trucks and aerial fire trucks.

RAM Stabilizer cylinders enable quick deployment and are easy to modify after placement. These unique cylinders provide infinite adjustments to the finished height over the full range of the stroke. They use a threaded engagement instead of a pin to lock it in place. Utilizing RAM mechanical or hydraulic locking stabilizer cylinders provides increased assurance your equipment will perform safely and reliably. 

RAM’s standard models focus on two primary mechanical locking methods - split or locking nut. These positive locking systems assure that there will be no creeping from the desired settings. The split locking nut design features an external split ring mechanism easily removed and replaced to lock the stabilizer in position once deployed. The solid locking nut design is fixed to the equipment and is rotated to lock the stabilizer in position. Hydraulic locking can be incorporated with hydraulic valves such as pilot operated check, counterbalancing and thermal relief valves.

RAM’s expertise is demonstrated with an offering of 120 pre-engineered designs. RAM Stabilizer cylinders provide a starting point to customize the precise fit and functionality you require. Each model includes a wide range of standard features that can be customized to accommodate the equipment specifications. RAM stabilizer cylinders are produced with bore diameters between 2” and 8” and stroke lengths from 0” to 60” with pressure ratings up to 5000 PSI.

RAM Stabilizer cylinders feature standard cross-pin and ball ends. The cross-pin mounts provide quick and easy functionality that can easily be incorporated into your equipment. Ball ends are a unique design that provides 360-degree stability with angular interaction with the ground to match any slope. RAM designs can easily incorporate many mounting options from positions (side, top, pass-through, and flange mounts) to the hole patterns and sizes. Custom jacking pads or feet are available.

RAM stabilizers can easily be incorporated into existing designs and customized to fit your application. Custom paint options include matching your equipment colours and various paint finishes like our standard two-part urethane or electrostatic plating.

With extensive experience providing fully customizable mechanical and hydraulic locking stabilizer cylinders for OEM customers, we can find a solution for your equipment.
