RH Series Cylinder Specifications

What Is the Power Team RH603 Used For?

The Power Team RH603 is a single-acting, spring-return, center-hole hydraulic cylinder with a 60-ton force capacity. It features a 3-inch stroke and is engineered for heavy-duty pushing, pulling, and tensioning tasks. It’s specifically designed for applications involving:

Pulling and tensioning cables, anchor bolts, or forcing screws—its center-hole design allows lines or rods to pass through the piston.
Capable of withstanding full dead-end loads, meaning it can maintain force when fully extended.
Interchangeable piston head inserts, offering flexibility for different tooling or load surfaces.
Durability features, including corrosion-resistant standpipe treated with “Power Tech” protection and a threaded collar for secure attachment.
Standard hydraulic coupling support, supplied with a 9796 3/8″ NPT female half-coupler.
