Hydraulic Double-Acting Cylinder Rockforce RF-0205, 5 t, piston stroke 130 mm, overall length 665 mm

The Rockforce Hydraulic Double-Acting Cylinder RF-0205 is a compact hydraulic actuator rated for a 5 tonne working capacity. With a piston stroke of 130 mm and an overall length of 665 mm, this double-acting cylinder provides controlled bi-directional force for lifting, pressing and precise positioning in hydraulic presses, shop jacks and industrial equipment. It is built for compatibility with common hydraulic power units and standard fittings used in workshop and production environments.

Advantages

This double-acting cylinder delivers reliable two-way operation, enabling both extension and retraction under hydraulic control for repeatable force application. The specified 5 t capacity and 130 mm stroke offer a balance of compact size and usable travel for tasks that require moderate force and controlled movement. Its overall length of 665 mm allows straightforward integration into existing hydraulic systems and fixtures. The design is suitable for workshop use and repetitive industrial cycles where durability and consistent performance are required.

Suitable for

• Hydraulic shop presses for bending, forming and assembly
• Industrial jacks and lifting equipment requiring bi-directional actuation
• Fixture and tooling applications where controlled retraction is needed
• Maintenance tasks that involve pressing bearings, bushings or shafts
• Integration with standard hydraulic power units in production lines

Key specifications

• Rated capacity: 5 tonnes (force)
• Piston stroke (travel): 130 mm
• Overall length (retracted): 665 mm
• Operation: double-acting (hydraulic extension and retraction)
• Compatibility: designed for standard hydraulic systems and fittings

How to use

Install the cylinder into the hydraulic circuit following the equipment manufacturer’s procedures and ensure all connections are secured and leak-free. Use appropriate hydraulic oil and maintain recommended system pressure limits for a 5 t rated actuator. Operate the cylinder through a control valve to extend and retract the piston, monitoring movement and load during the task. Inspect seals and mounting points before each use, and ensure the cylinder is mounted on a stable structure to avoid side loading or misalignment.

Usage recommendations

Use the Rockforce RF-0205 within its rated capacity and stroke to ensure safe operation. Maintain proper hydraulic fluid quality, avoid contamination, and perform routine visual inspections for wear or damage. Where precise positioning is required, use flow control or proportional valves and secure workpieces to prevent movement during press or lift cycles.
