HDCHA Series Lightweight Aluminum D/A Hollow
Engineering Overview & Structural Features
The HDCHA Series Lightweight Aluminum Double-Acting Hollow Cylinders deliver high-tonnage tensioning, pulling, and rod-stressing performance with exceptional job-site mobility, forged from ultra-high-yield 7075-T6 aerospace aluminum alloy to achieve over 50% weight reduction and shorter collapsed height compared to single-acting hollow models. Operating at 700 Bar (10,000 PSI) with capacities from 30 to 150 Metric Tons, every cylinder features a central through-hole design, powered hydraulic retraction for fast cycling regardless of hose lengths, an independent floating center tube, full hard-coat anodizing, a built-in safety relief valve, and a removable 6mm protective steel base plate.
POWERED RETRACTION & BUILT-IN SAFETY VALVE
Double-acting hydraulic retraction ensures rapid, controlled plunger return regardless of hose lengths or system backpressure. A factory built-in relief valve prevents accidental over-pressurization of the retract chamber.
HOLLOW PLUNGER & FLOATING CENTER TUBE
Precision through-hole bore allows both push and pull forces for post-tensioning tendons, tie rods, and cable stays. An independent floating center tube eliminates rod deflection stresses to dramatically extend seal and cylinder service life.
STEEL BASE DEFENSE & HOLLOW SADDLE
Factory-fitted with a removable 6mm hardened steel base protection plate and bolt-on hollow hardened steel saddle to protect lightweight aluminum components from job-site point-load indentation and substrate abrasion.
COMPOSITE BEARINGS & HARD-COAT ANODIZING
Full-surface Hard-Coat anodized shell prevents galling and corrosion. Reinforced composite guide bearings absorb eccentric sideload forces, paired with an integral stop ring that withstands full rated cylinder capacity.
