Kashon Low-Height Hydraulic Cylinders are built for tight-clearance, high-tonnage lifting with an excellent power-to-height ratio. They fit under machinery bases, into gaps, and beneath beams for lifting and alignment; all models are single-acting, spring return, rated 700 bar for fast retraction and easy use in maintenance, installation, and emergency work.
Made from high-strength alloy steel with wear-resistant seals, they offer durable, reliable performance. Standard quick couplers connect to Kashon hand, air, and electric high-pressure pumps, and multiple capacities and strokes cover lifting, straightening, and support tasks—safe and efficient in confined spaces.
The compact design of the RSM-Series cylinder makes it ideal for jobs in confined spaces. Mounting holes and a handle allow for easy fixturing and portability. With a single-acting, spring-return mechanism for fast retraction and a durable, grooved plunger that requires no saddle, it’s built for efficiency. A standard coupler and dust cap are included.
Engineered for high-force lifting in confined spaces, CUSP Series ultra-flat, single-acting load-return cylinders combine an exceptionally low collapsed height with an integrated tilting plunger for even load distribution. Available from 10 to 1,000 tons, they feature a durable nitrocarburized finish, side-load resistance up to 4% of rated capacity, and a red maximum-stroke indicator for safer operation.
For enhanced operational safety, The CULP-Series (10-55 ton) Ultra-Flat cylinders feature an integral stop ring that provides reliable over-stroke protection, preventing the plunger from accidentally disengaging at maximum extension.
RSM low height hydraulic cylinders are built for lifting and positioning where clearance is limited. The range covers 5 to 150 tons, with 6 to 16 mm strokes and a 700 bar working pressure. A heavy-duty return spring retracts the plunger when pressure is released, while base mounting holes make the cylinder easier to secure for fixture work or repeated lifting cycles.
The RSMB series Ultra-thin Hydraulic Cylinder are constructed in a compact low-profile or multi-stage telescoping form. Baked enamel surface for better corrosion resistance. Plunger wiper prevents contamination and helps extend cylinder life. This type of single-acting cylinder, spring or load retracting, gives considerable versatility and can be used with either hand or electric pumps.
Delivers high tonnage in places standard cylinders won’t fit—ideal under machine bases, beams, and structures when installation height is limited.
SM and RCS single‑acting, spring‑return models retract quickly to speed repetitive lifts and reduce downtime.
LPL lock‑nut cylinders provide positive mechanical load holding for long‑duration jobs, adding safety and stability during staging and maintenance.
Pre‑engineered fixing points simplify fixturing; stroke‑limiting features help prevent over‑travel and component damage.
Durable surface treatments (e.g., nitrocarburizing) defend against rust and wear for reliable outdoor performance.
Tilt‑capable contact surfaces help distribute loads and compensate for minor misalignment, reducing side‑load risks.
Our engineering team specializes in designing bespoke hydraulic solutions tailored to your exact application requirements -- from unique tonnage ratings to specialized environmental conditions.
Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about this product series.
RSM: Single-acting, spring return; fast retraction; mounting holes for easy fixing.
RCS: Single-acting, spring return; plunger with internal threads to mount a tilt saddle.
CULP: Single-acting, load return; ultra-flat; stop ring limits maximum stroke.
CUSP: Single-acting, load return; ultra-flat; tilting function helps distribute load.
LPL: Single-acting, load return; lock nut for mechanical load holding; longer stroke than CUSP/CULP; built-in tilt saddle.
RLT: Telescopic, low-height design; provides longer stroke in a compact format; mounting bolt holes for fixturing.
Place the cylinder on a flat, stable, and sufficiently strong surface, keep the load centered to avoid side loading, and operate within rated capacity and stroke limits. When running multiple cylinders, use a uniform pressure supply and controlled, synchronized lifting to keep the structure level.
They’re designed for spaces with very limited headroom. Typical uses include lifting and lowering machines, structures, and steel components during installation or maintenance; straightening and alignment of frames, beams, and welded assemblies; bridge and structural jacking where only a small installation height is available; service and maintenance work in cramped areas; and mobile lifting or temporary support on construction sites and in plant engineering.
