The Power Team RH306 is a 30-ton, single-acting, spring-return center-hole hydraulic cylinder engineered for tensioning, pulling, and pushing applications where the load path must pass through the piston. It provides a 6.00-inch stroke with a retracted height of approximately 9.75 inches and an extended height of 15.75 inches, offering a compact yet capable form factor for precision load handling. The cylinder features an effective piston area of 6.34 in² and an oil capacity of approximately 38.1 in³. The center-hole diameter is 1-9/32 inches, accommodating tension rods, anchor bolts, or cables for through-loading configurations. The cylinder’s outer diameter measures roughly 4.75 inches, and it operates at a rated system pressure of 10,000 psi, delivering a maximum output force of approximately 30 tons.
Designed for reliability in high-load industrial applications, the RH306 incorporates Power Team’s “Power-Tech” surface treatment to resist corrosion and wear in demanding environments. The single-acting, spring-return configuration allows for controlled hydraulic extension with automatic retraction when pressure is released, minimizing system complexity and reducing setup time. Precision-machined bearing and sealing surfaces ensure consistent concentricity under load, while the center-hole geometry supports accurate axial force transmission during post-tensioning, bolt testing, and structural jacking operations. Proper load alignment and surface preparation are critical, as off-axis loading or side thrust can accelerate wear and affect performance. The RH306’s combination of compact dimensions, high load capacity, and robust construction makes it a versatile and durable component for field service and maintenance operations.
