By
inserting a rod through the hollow piston, these cylinders can be
used to push or pull depending on the orientation of the ram. They
will actuate a rod of any length or shape and are extremely effective
in translating power to a remote location. Greater forces are generated
in these thru-hole rams because of their larger piston area.

Accessories All
size thru-hole rams are supplied with a thru-hole insert threaded into
the top. Optional threaded inserts - inch or metric - are also available.
An accessory adapter plate is also available which fastens to the ram
base and permits mounting the ram with a single cap screw.

A
thru-hole ram easily converts a manual strap clamp into an automatic
hydraulic powered clamp. Usually a longer bolt is the only part need
to make this conversion.
