Simplex r53 Hydraulic Cylinder 5 Ton 3.13 in Stroke

Product Description

The SIMPLEX r53 is a single-acting, general purpose hydraulic cylinder rated for 5 ton (44.5 kilonewtons) of capacity with a 3.13-inch stroke. Built for demanding industrial environments, the r53 is part of the Simplex R-Series line, designed to deliver consistent force output and long service life in a wide range of push-force applications. A positive stop limits piston travel at the end of the stroke, adding a mechanical safety margin and protecting internal components. A wiper seal extends cylinder life by keeping contaminants out of the bore. This cylinder is installed and serviced by hydraulic system technicians, millwrights, and industrial maintenance professionals.

The r53 is suited for general purpose industrial applications requiring controlled, single-direction hydraulic force. Typical use cases include lifting, pressing, pushing, and fixturing operations in manufacturing, construction, and maintenance settings. The threaded collar design provides versatility in mounting and fixturing configurations, expanding the range of setups this cylinder can support across both stationary and portable hydraulic systems.
