Large bore cylinders can achieve the power and pressure required for your equipment to move the heaviest loads. These heavy-duty cylinders are robust and often necessary for machinery that operates in tough working environments. With bore sizes over 8 inches and up to 24 inches, RAM’s large bore cylinders are up to the task!

The bore size, along with the desired operating pressure of the cylinder determines the force output available. The bigger the bore, more force the cylinder can develop. Knowing the load your application needs to move, and the hydraulic system pressure rating, will help determine the optimal bore size of your cylinders.

We are well-versed in the latest technologies in materials, cylinder componentry, cylinder design and manufacturing methods to ensure your cylinder functions exactly as required. These RAM large bore cylinders are custom designed and built to accommodate rough and rugged work environments and frequently need bolted construction to maintain cylinder integrity under heavy loads.

With the increased cylinder size, the experts at RAM take every precaution to recommend internal componentry that will meet the performance requirements and the external operating conditions. Our priority is developing complete cylinder solutions that produce quality performance.

Customized options include:

• High strength materials such as 4140, QT100, AR (Abrasion Resistant) and other high yield strength carbon and alloy steels
• Increased shaft protection through induction hardened rods, thicker chrome, chrome over nickel and other material alternatives
• Leading edge large bore seal technologies for heavy duty use, high wear environments, and abrasion resistance
• Expanded seal sets to resist shock pressures
• Bellows for external shaft protection
• External guards for ports, hoses and oil lines
• Bolt in glands for added strength
• Hardened pins for added durability
• High pressure ports (SAE Code 61/62 4 bolt flange designs)
• Integrated valves (relief, counterbalance or PO check) to protect the cylinder, maintain position, and control the rate of extension and retraction to counteract external forces.

RAM’s modern facilities utilize large capacity cranes and specialized equipment capable of accommodating the weight and scale of the materials used to manufacture these cylinders.

When it comes to OEM equipment with heavy-duty load requirements, trust the experts at RAM Industries to develop cylinder solutions that will perform under pressure.
