Hollow, single-acting cylinders with spring return

CRM-FO Series

  • Equipped with a central through-hole, it is ideal for a wide range of applications, including cable and high-strength bar tensioning, bearing and pin installation and removal, and testing operations.
  • The guiding surfaces are sized to guarantee optimal performance in load offset absorption and stop-ring increases safety for the operator avoiding the over stroke of the piston.
  • Cylinder body is designed with external thread to ensure quick and adaptable installations.
  • All internal mechanical elements are treated with Nitox® ONC for enhanced surface hardness and corrosion resistance; external surfaces are protected by industrial-grade coating on 10 – 20 e 30-ton models and Nitox® ONC for higher tonnages.
  • Equipped with 3/8’’ NPT female coupler and dust protection cap
Single acting spring return Hollow hydraulic cylinders in high pressure. Pushing force from 10 to 100 tons with a stroke range from 50 mm to 160 mm. Cylinders for tensioning operations, maintenance and testing . Operating pressure 700 bar. Guide surfaces are sized to guarantee optimal performance in absorbing the offset load and the end stroke ring increases safety for the operator by avoiding the extra stroke of the piston. Hydraulic jacks equipped with high strength gaskets for maximum durability up to 60° C, upon request it is possible to equip the cylinder with gaskets resistant to high temperatures up to 200° C. Furthermore, the presence of the wiper prevents contamination from impurities present in the environment of use. Cylinders are equipped with a 3/8 “NPT female coupler equipped with an anti dust cap and can be secured to structures or machinery through the thread on the cylinder’s external body. High resistance head. External painting for maximum corrosion resistance or Nitox ONC treatment on all internal mechanical parts for maximum resistance to corrosion and wear. All models weighing up to 20 kg are equipped with lifting eyebolts. Sectors of use: steel mills, energy, industry, infrastructure, tensioning bars, engineering and testing, mining, shipbuilding, offshore, oil & gas and transport. Possibility to design and produce custom made hydraulic cylinders on request, with dedicated geometries, performances and features. All models can be connected to different drive units such as hand pumps or electric, air, petrol pumps. A wide range of accessories such as hoses, valves and pressure gauges are available for the composition of the desired hydraulic circuit.

Quick connection for gauges
Quick-connect fittings for gauges allow easy installation and removal on the system.

Choose the best pump
According to tonnage, stroke and general requirements, such models can be combined with hand pumps or hydraulic motor-driven pumps

Reaction Bridges, Spacers, and Specialized Accessories
FPT offers a complete range of reaction bridges, spacers, and specialized accessories, specifically engineered for hollow cylinder installations. These components are designed to provide precise alignment, stable load distribution, and reliable support during tensioning, lifting, pressing, and testing operations. Each accessory is manufactured from high-strength materials to withstand heavy loads and repeated cycles, ensuring long-term durability and consistent performance.

Avoid Mechanical Contact
Ensure the nut does not contact the cylinder sleeve, as it is not designed to bear such loads. When disassembling, avoid positioning yourself along the spring axis. Unscrewing the guide ring without caution can release the highly preloaded compression spring, posing a risk of injury.

Fixing holes
All models provide fixing holes on bottom side for easy attachment on existing structures.
