Hollow cylinders with oil return

CRI-FO Series

  • Equipped with center trough-hole, it is ideal for stressing and tensioning highstrength bars and cables, maintenance operations, pin installation and removal, as well as launching or lifting heavy structures.
  • Cylinder body is designed with external thread to ensure quick and adaptable installations.
  • Safety valve on B port prevents damage in case of over pressurization or badly-connected couplers.
  • Oil return technology ensures longer strokes and higher tonnage compared to spring return cylinders.
  • Fitted with high-strength seals to ensure maximum durability and extended service life.
  • 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 30-ton models and Nitox® ONC for higher tonnages.
  • Equipped with 3/8’’ NPT female couplers and dust protection caps.
Double acting oil return hollow plunger hydraulic cylinders in high pressure. Pushing force from 30 to 150 tons with a stroke range from 50 mm to 260 mm. Designed for cable tensioning operations, tensioning bars, assembly or disassembly. 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. Hollow plunger 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. Removable high resistance head and possibility of mounting a self-leveling head for a better distribution of the load to be lifted. 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, 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.

Accessories for Hollow Cylinder Installations
Reaction bridges, spacers, and specialized equipment designed specifically for seamless integration with hollow cylinder setups.

Jacking and Skidding Operations
Hollow jacks are specifically designed for jacking and skidding operations, providing reliable performance, precise load control, and safe handling in demanding industrial and construction applications, such as moving large structures and handling heavy loads. The cylinders can be operated using a synchronous lifting pump, a skidding pump, or a dedicated high-flow HPU, enabling the movement of massive structures with precision and efficiency.

Important
It is important to avoid the mechanical contact between the nut and the sleeve of the hydraulic cylinder, which is not designed to sustain such load.

Long Stroke Models
Long-stroke models engineered for lifting and launching large, heavy structures with precision and reliability.
