Appliications

These extremely robust double-acting cylinders are specially designed for universal heavy duty lifting and positioning applications as well as for industrial production and assembly jobs.

The cylinders offer high pushing and pulling forces.

The double-acting design assures a high piston-retraction speed.

Major areas of application are bridge building and civil engineering, off-shore, ship building etc.

They can also be used as power source in frame presses, stamping fixtures and other high-cycle industrial uses where pushing and pulling forces are required.

YCH - Hollow Cylinders
Double acting with hydraulic return
33 to 140 tonnes
In connection with threaded rods, hollow cylinders can create extremely high forces which are helpful for various repair or assembly applications like removing press-fitted parts, pre-stressing of anchors etc.

In addition, hollow cylinders are used as power source in puller sets and test rigs.

By the use of long threaded rods and by re-adjusting the nut larger distances can be pulled even by the use of short cylinder strokes.

Operating pressure 700 bar

Double acting with hydraulic return

Large centre hole diameter

Cylinder body and piston made from chromium-molybdenum steel and heat treated

Double bronze bearing of the hard chromuim-plated piston

Metric mounting threads at cylinder body and inside of piston

Interchangeable hardened saddle

Inner and outer dirt wipers

Oil port thread: 3/8 NPT

Incl. 2 female coupler halves CFY-1

All cylinders with carrying handle, from YCH-62/250 with 2 lifting rings

Applications

Hollow cylinders are used as the power component within hydraulic puller sets, for pre-stressing of anchor bolts, removing of axles, shafts, bushings, extracting of tubes, as well as for heavy duty pulling apllications.

Double acting cylinders have the advantage over single acting cylinders of being able to retract the piston quickly and are ideal therefore for high-cycle pulling apllications.

YEH - High Tonnage Cylinders
Double acting with hydraulic return
260 to 1100 tonnes
Cylinders of series YEH are normally used for lifting, positioning or handling of heavy loads.

Features
Operating pressure 700 bar

Double acting with hydraulic return

Generous guiding bands ensure a robust piston guiding

Hard chromium-plated Piston

Stop ring as piston end stop

Interchangeable hardened saddle

With dirt wiper

Oil port thread: 3/8 NPT

Incl. 2 female coupler halves CFY-1

Mounting threads on request

All cylinders have lifting rings

Applications

Double acting high tonnage cylinders are used for various lifting, positioning, supporting or levelling jobs in cases where heavy loads have to be handled.

Lifting and moving of large machinery, steel construction, bridges or similar loads, supporting of buildings and foundations.

Further applications are positioning, weighing, through pressing, stress testing or jacking of all kinds of loads.

High tonnage cylinders are found in nearly all areas of industrial activity like steel production, heavy machine manufacturing, civil engineering, ship building, mining, off-shore industry or testing laboratories.
ST - Hydraulic Stage Lifts
Capacities up to 200 tonnes
Stage lifts are compact "low head room" lifting devices for universal lifting applications.

They are designed tolift and lower loads over high distances.

Stage lifts overcome the usual limitations of the lifting height imposed by stroke length.

Stage lifts operate with "double-acting" hydraulic cylinders (return stroke by hydraulic pressure) and are equipped with a load spreading plate and a piston support plate.

Features
Yale ChroMo Design

High quality materials ensure long service life

Stage lift body made from high grade aluminium

Low cost lifting systems possible,
(3-point resp. 4-point)
Low weight (e.g. 60kg for a 50 ton unit)

Large diameter tilt saddle

Incl. coupler halves and carrying handles

Function

A stage lift operates inverted and lifts the load via the bottom of the cylinder whilst it climbs on a pile of support bars (wood or aluminium).

In principle the load can be lifted to any height although stage lifts are still compact and versatile for "low headroom" lifting applications.

A further big advantage is that the load can be supported safely on the pile of support blocks at any stage.

The simple "3-step operation" eliminates the need for additional holding arrangements and the repositioning or replacing of cylinders which are normally required for a higher lifting distance.

A stage lift climbs up and down on its own.

Depending on the power pack, selected stage lifts can be controlled individually (by hand or motor pump) or together in a synchronised arrangement with multi-flow pumps.
