The Power Team RH302 is a 30 ton single-acting center hole hydraulic cylinder designed for controlled pushing, tensioning, and pulling tasks. Available for rental, it offers compact performance for construction, maintenance, and industrial applications.
The Power Team RH302 single-acting center hole hydraulic cylinder is designed for applications requiring controlled force in extension with spring-assisted return. Its center hole configuration allows threaded rods, cables, or anchor bolts to pass through the cylinder body, making it well suited for tensioning and pulling tasks where alignment through the piston is required. With a 30 ton capacity and a 2.5 in stroke, this compact cylinder delivers reliable performance in confined spaces and lighter-duty applications compared to higher tonnage models. Commonly paired with compatible high-pressure hydraulic pumps, the RH302 is ideal for rental use on short-term projects where precision, portability, and efficiency are critical.
✅ Key Specifications & Features
• The RH302 is part of the RH “center hole” series, meaning it has a hole through the center of the piston rod to allow cables, anchor bolts, or rods to pass through.
• It features a threaded collar (common on 12, 20, 30, 50, 60 ton single-acting RH models)
• The piston head insert is interchangeable (you can change from tapped hole to plain hole by changing the insert)
• It is built to withstand full “dead-end” loads (i.e. loads held against the piston when hydraulic pressure is removed)
Anchor bolt tensioning – Used where controlled force is applied through a threaded rod or stud.
Pulling and positioning tasks – Supports light to medium-duty pulling operations using threaded bars or cables.
Maintenance and repair work – Ideal for service tasks requiring compact hydraulic force.
Testing and setup operations – Provides controlled force for calibration and positioning applications.
General construction projects – Suitable for short-stroke hydraulic applications in restricted spaces.
Single-acting operation – Requires an external load or spring force for retraction after pressurization.
Center hole design – Allows rods or cables to pass through the piston but reduces lifting efficiency compared to solid cylinders.
System compatibility – Hydraulic pumps, hoses, and couplers must be rated for high-pressure operation.
Load alignment – Applied loads must remain centered through the bore to prevent uneven wear or damage.
Secure mounting – Position the cylinder on a solid, level surface capable of supporting the rated load.
Rated system components – Use hydraulic pumps, hoses, and fittings compatible with high-pressure operation.
Air removal – Bleed air from the hydraulic system before use to ensure smooth extension.
Load alignment – Keep threaded rods and applied loads aligned with the center hole during operation.
Inspection before use – Check hoses, seals, and couplers for leaks or wear prior to pressurizing.

Renting the Power Team RH302 center hole hydraulic cylinder provides a cost-effective solution for short-term or specialized hydraulic applications. This cylinder is well suited for rental use on maintenance, construction, and tensioning projects where compact size, reliable performance, and flexibility are required without long-term ownership.
This cylinder must be operated by trained personnel and used in accordance with Power Team manufacturer guidelines. Always verify load ratings and system compatibility before operation to ensure safe and reliable performance.
Center hole cylinder rentals provide access to specialized equipment for project-specific needs without the cost, storage, or maintenance requirements of ownership.
Center hole cylinders are fully compatible with standard 10,000 PSI hydraulic systems from Enerpac, Simplex, and Power Team when properly matched.
Center hole cylinders allow precise tensile force to be applied directly along the bolt axis, ensuring accurate preload without inducing bending or misalignment.
Center hole cylinders typically require a compatible hydraulic pump, hoses, pressure gauge, and appropriate threaded adapters or fixtures.
