CFA - Aluminium cylinders with spring return

NIKE's high tonnage cylinders CFA ranging from 55.1 tonf (US) capacity are made of aluminium. This gives them an outstanding performance comparing power and weight (c:a 50% more power per kilogram than comparable cylinders made of steel). The cylinders are made of high tensile aluminium and therefore have a superior service life compared to similar products on the market today. Both cylinder tube and piston are hard anodized for extended protection against wear and corrosion.

All CFA cylinders come with both the saddle and a protecting base plate made of steel to guarantee a trouble free function even when the surface and lifting point are not quite even and parallel.

Note! The NIKE range of aluminium cylinders is manufactured for low-cycle applications such as normal maintenance and lifting operations. These aluminium cylinders are designed to provide a lifetime of at least 10.000 cycles at full pressure and should NOT be used in high-cycle operations like production lines etc.

For such applications please talk to your NIKE representative for advise.
