The Simplex R1006 is a 100-ton, single-acting, general-purpose hydraulic cylinder designed for heavy lifting, pushing, and load-handling applications across industrial, construction, and maintenance environments. With a 6.63-inch stroke, it provides a strong combination of high lifting force and useful travel, making it suitable for equipment maintenance, steel fabrication, structural work, bridge repair, and heavy machinery positioning.
Simplex R-Series Single Acting Hydraulic Cylinders are the durable, reliable, and versatile choice for general purpose industrial use. With a vast range of cylinder tonnages and strokes available it’s easy to find a cylinder perfectly matched to your application.
Threaded collars offer versatility in fixturing to give you many more application possibilities. Included inside R Series Cylinders is a positive stop to limit piston travel at the end of the stroke, adding extra strength and safety to your cylinder, and cylinder life is extended by the wiper seal.
Built with a heat-treated alloy steel body, precision-machined piston, and rugged internal bearings, the R1006 delivers long service life and dependable performance under continuous high-pressure operation. This model features a single-acting, spring-return design, which means the cylinder extends under hydraulic pressure and retracts automatically once pressure is released — simplifying operation, reducing cycle time, and minimizing hydraulic system complexity.
The R1006 includes a standard 10,000 psi rating, a removable grooved saddle for load protection, and high-strength seals engineered to withstand heavy-duty conditions. It connects easily to industry-standard pumps and hoses using its high-pressure hydraulic coupler. With its balanced stroke length, high capacity, and durable build, the Simplex R1006 is a workhorse cylinder for demanding general-purpose lifting tasks.
100-ton lifting and pushing power:
Designed for applications requiring high force in industrial and construction environments.
6.63-inch stroke:
Provides substantial lifting movement without making the cylinder overly tall or cumbersome.
Single-acting, spring-return operation:
Automatically retracts when hydraulic pressure is released, allowing faster cycling and simpler setup.
General-purpose versatility:
Ideal for maintenance, alignment, positioning, fabrication, and heavy equipment servicing.
Durable alloy-steel construction:
Precision components and wear-resistant materials ensure reliability and long operational life.
Removable grooved saddle:
Protects the piston from wear and helps stabilize the load.
Standard 10,000 psi compatibility:
Works with widely used hydraulic pumps and hoses for easy integration into existing setups.
Single-acting only:
Retraction relies on the internal spring rather than hydraulic force, which may be slower under no-load conditions.
Requires vertical alignment for best performance:
Side loading must be avoided to prevent seal or piston damage.
Heavier cylinder due to high tonnage rating:
Ensure appropriate lifting or handling equipment is available for transport and setup.
Stroke length limitations:
While 6.63 in is generous, it is not intended for long-travel applications requiring 10+ inches of movement.
Heavy equipment maintenance and repair
Steel mill and industrial plant operations
Bridge construction and structural shoring
Machine and frame alignment
Construction jacking and lifting operations
Pressing, pushing, and load adjustment tasks
Mining, shipyard, and refinery environments requiring reliable high-force lifting
Ensure the cylinder sits on a stable, level surface capable of supporting the load.
Use only hoses, couplers, and pumps rated for 10,000 psi systems.
Keep loads centered on the piston — avoid any side-load conditions.
Protect hydraulic lines from crushing, abrasion, or sharp edges.
Allow the cylinder’s spring-return system to operate fully; do not force retraction.
Inspect seals, couplers, and saddles regularly, especially in demanding or high-cycle applications.
Follow Simplex load, stroke, and safety specifications carefully — 100-ton forces require strict adherence to safe operating practices.
