CF20 Flat Body Hydraulic Cylinder – 20 Ton, 0.44″ Stroke, Single Acting – PowerX CF-Series
The PowerX CF20 Flat Body Hydraulic Cylinder delivers 20 tons of lifting power in a low-profile, single-acting design engineered for tight spaces and heavy-duty performance. Ideal for lifting, pressing, pushing, or positioning applications where vertical clearance is limited, this pancake-style hydraulic cylinder combines high force output with precision control and proven PowerX durability.
Built from hardened alloy steel and rated for 10,000 PSI (700 bar), the CF20 high-pressure hydraulic pancake cylinder provides unmatched strength and stability in compact form. The short stroke and wide base ensure safety and balance during high-force operation, while the chrome-plated, grooved plunger resists corrosion and allows smooth, stable movement.
Unlike load-return designs, the CF20 Low Height Cylinder features a heavy-duty spring return for fast, automatic retraction, improving productivity and reducing downtime between cycles. Two base mounting holes enable secure fixturing on equipment or structures, and the 3/8″ NPTF high-flow coupler with dust cap ensures quick, leak-free hydraulic connections to high-pressure hydraulic pumps.
Designed for maximum power in minimal space, the CF20 Flat Body Cylinder is a trusted solution for construction, manufacturing, shipbuilding, mining, and maintenance applications that demand compact, high-tonnage lifting capability.
Power this cylinder with PowerX Air Over Hydraulic Pumps, Electric Hydraulic Pumps, and Hydraulic Hand Pumps for consistent, reliable 10,000 PSI performance.
