RAM Thumb cylinders are high quality welded cylinders specifically designed for use on mini excavators, tracked excavators, wheeled excavators and backhoes for hydraulic thumb applications.

The Thumb Cylinder design offers many unique features to protect the cylinder and equipment when operating in rugged working conditions. The Thumb Cylinder’s construction was specifically designed to ensure a long working life, while simplifying any routine servicing requirements in the shop or on the job site. Standard features include:

➤ Steel guided transfer hose

➤ Oversized spherical bearing mounts

➤ Custom seal package that includes wear rings and high-pressure seals

➤ CAT style heavy duty nut

➤ Oversized piston stem

➤ Fixed cushions on both cylinder ends

➤ Bolt in gland with high tensile head bolts

RAM Industries has over 45 years’ experience working with Original Equipment Manufacturers, helping

them with seamless solutions when making cylinder changes.

RAM understands implementing RAM cylinders requires a collaborative effort with your team - purchasing,

engineering, production, and customer service. At RAM, we have the expertise to assist you with choosing

a cylinder transition approach that ensures continuity for your internal processes and end users.

Choose the strategy that works best for your business:

RAM  Industries synchronized hydraulic cylinders are the perfect solution for applications that require

multiple cylinder strokes to be perfectly synchronized.

There are many applications in a variety of industries that operate with a synchronized series of hydraulic

cylinders, required to operate in tandem.

Some examples include:

-          Agriculture – Tillage Equipment, Bale Haulers

-          Transportation – Truck bed hard covers

-          Industrial – Tables, Conveyors

-          Stage Productions – Backdrops, Stages

These synchronizing hydraulic cylinders include one master and one or more slave cylinders with a built in

rephasing provision. RAM synchronizing hydraulic cylinders are pressure rated up to 3000 PSI, bore sizes

are available in ¼” increments from 1 ½” to 6” and standard strokes go up to 24”.

All RAM hydraulic cylinders can be customized to perfectly fit your equipment requirements. Adding a depth

control valve assembly will provide precise and infinite control of the rod movement.

Contact the RAM team today to let our Engineering team design a synchronizing cylinder set for your application!
