Over the years, Cat hydraulics have withstood some of the toughest applications in the world. If your machines are facing the same challenges, you need to look to Cat hydraulic cylinders to provide the durability, reliability and low cost you demand. The operating pressure of a cylinder may vary with application.
Closing time is slightly faster because of the cylinder volume occupied by the rod.
To ensure minimum maintenance and prevent breakage of parts, never select a cylinder operating at a speed faster than that recommended for the implement or its application. Thrust, usually called push or pull, is the force that the cylinder exerts in pounds. Push is the force exerted at the eye of the piston rod when pressure is placed upon the full diameter of the piston. Pull is the force exerted at the rod eye when pressure is directed against the rod side of the piston. Pull is always less than push because of the reduction of cylinder area through presence of the cylinder piston rod.
