CF30 Flat Body Hydraulic Cylinder – 30 Ton, 0.5″ Stroke, Single Acting – PowerX CF-Series
Compact, powerful, and built for demanding low-clearance lifting, the PowerX CF30 30 Ton 0.5″ Stroke Flat Body Cylinder delivers 30 tons of lifting force in a single-acting, spring-return design engineered for reliability and performance in tight spaces. This low-height (pancake) hydraulic cylinder provides high tonnage and precision where vertical space is limited, making it ideal for machinery alignment, construction lifts, die separation, and structural positioning.
Constructed from hardened alloy steel and rated for 10,000 PSI (700 bar), the CF30 30 Ton 0.5″ Stroke Flat Body Cylinder combines strength and precision in a compact form. The chrome-plated, grooved plunger provides smooth, controlled motion without requiring a saddle, while the spring-return mechanism ensures fast retraction and improved productivity in repetitive operations.
The wide, flat base maximizes stability during high-force operation, and two mounting holes allow secure fixture installation. A 3/8″ NPTF high-flow coupler with protective dust cap enables quick, leak-free connection to PowerX hydraulic pumps for dependable performance in the most confined and heavy-duty environments.
Durable, efficient, and ANSI B30.1 compliant, the CF30 Flat Body Low Height Cylinder is engineered for safe, high-tonnage operation where strength and space efficiency are equally critical.
Power this cylinder with PowerX high-pressure hydraulic pumps and power units, including Air Over Hydraulic Pumps, Electric Hydraulic Pumps, and Hydraulic Hand Pumps. Add consistent, reliable 10,000 PSI operation to your next job.
