Description

Model: RCS502 | ECCN: EAR99 | Harmonization: 8412210075

Series: RCS | Product Line: Industrial Tools

RCS-Series Low Profile Hydraulic Cylinders provide superior durability, performance

longevity, safety, and quality in a compact and convenient footprint. These low profile
hydraulic jacks are the perfect choice for general lifting and production applications where
space is limited or constrained. A low collapsed height, short stroke, and solid construction
enables safety and stability in both vertical and horizontal orientations.

Many low-profile hydraulic cylinders rely on the weight of the load to retract the plunger.
RCS cylinders are different and include a powerful return spring, which is faster, convenient,
and more productive. The entire RCS cylinder range is rated for high-pressure; 10,000 psi
(700 bar).

Lightweight, low profile design for use in confined spaces
