CH20-2 Center Hole Hydraulic Cylinder – 20 Ton, 2″ Stroke, Single Acting – PowerX CH-Series
Compact, durable, and engineered for precision, the PowerX CH20-2 Center Hole Hydraulic Cylinder delivers 20 tons of pulling or pushing force in a single-acting, spring-return design. Its hollow plunger (center-hole) construction allows both tension and compression operations, making it ideal for bolt tensioning, bearing removal, cable pulling, and precision lifting where direct center-line force is required.
Rated for 10,000 PSI (700 bar), the CH20-2 Hollow Plunger Hydraulic Cylinder provides smooth, controlled performance under high pressure while maintaining long-term reliability. Its heat-treated steel body withstands heavy side loads, and the chrome-plated hollow piston combined with roll-burnished cylinder walls ensures minimal friction, reduced wear, and extended seal life.
A spring-return mechanism enables fast plunger retraction after pressure release for improved efficiency. The threaded collar and base mounting holes make setup secure and adaptable in any position, while a 3/8″ NPTF high-flow coupler with dust cap ensures quick, leak-free connections to PowerX hydraulic pumps.
Built for rugged performance and precision control, the CH20-2 20 Ton 2″ Stroke Center Hole Cylinder is trusted across industries including construction, manufacturing, shipbuilding, and equipment maintenance for jobs that demand reliable, high-force operation in compact spaces.
Power this cylinder with PowerX high-pressure pumps and power units, including Air Over Hydraulic Pumps, Electric Hydraulic Pumps, and Hydraulic Hand Pumps for full 10,000 PSI performance.
