KC Hydraulic Cylinder with a Horizontal Pivot Bearing at the Rear End
The fastening is done using horizontal expansion joints relative to the connection.
KC Hydraulic Cylinder with an Internal Thread on the Piston Rod
The piston rod is available with internal threads and a keyway upon request. The tie rods, together with the guide neck on the front end, can be used to mount the hydraulic cylinder in, for example, a tool.
KC Hydraulic Cylinder with a Pivot Bearing on the Piston Rod
Available with a welded joint or a joint that is threaded onto the piston rod, allowing for adjustability.
KC Hydraulic Cylinder with Flat Rear End
It is secured using the tie rods.
KC Hydraulic Cylinder with External Thread on the Piston Rod
The piston rod is available with external threads and a wrench grip upon request. The tie rods, together with the guide neck on the front end, can be used to mount the hydraulic cylinder in, for example, a tool.
KC Hydraulic Cylinder with a Vertical Pivot Bearing at the Rear End
The fastening is done using a vertical expansion joint relative to the connection.
Why KC
Tie-rod construction without welded joints. Sturdy, flexible, and proven.
No welded joints
The cylinder is held together by four tie rods. With no welded joints, the design can withstand vibrations and pressure surges without the risk of cracking or leakage.
Compact installation dimensions
Suitable for use in tight spaces where room is limited.
Flexible Mounting
Several mounting options are available for both the piston rod end and the cylinder end. Choose the one that best suits your application.
Built-in linear encoders
Optional feature for applications that require precise position control of the piston rod.
16 standard sizes
Cylinder tube diameters from 25 to 250 mm. Pressing force up to 100 metric tons at 200 bar.
Select a mounting option based on the application
KC cylinders are available with six different mounting options at both the piston rod end and the cylinder end.
