Review on 💪 G FORCE 11458 16 Inch Hydraulic Cylinder - High-Performance Hydraulic Equipment for Optimum Force by Christopher Smith

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good heavy duty cylinder

Good heavy duty cylinder. Awesome 2" shank but narrows down to about 1-1 1/4" threads for fork mount. The transition was very sharp with a very small radius, creating a high stress concentration factor. If the shaft bends or breaks I would expect that to be the area where that failure could occur as the rest is very reliable. I think that this technical detail should be taken into account. Follow-up report after using this cylinder, the shaft is indeed broken and the shaft diameter has changed as expected, failure. This cylinder should not be purchased with the current stem design.

Pros
  • Designed for double acting applications
Cons
  • Some bugs
