Who is using Surplus Center for ram assist cylinder? - chuzie - 08-15-2015
Looking to replace my ram as it leaks even after complete seal replacement. I do not want to spend $200 so I came across model 9-7258-8 from Surplus Center.
Is anyone using this model?
Any concerns?
Here is the direct link. Thx

What are you running right now?

Running some numbers at 1,000 psi supply with different rods for push / pull.
5/8 rod = 1767 / 1460 psi = 307 diff
3/4 rod = 1767 / 1325 psi = 442 diff
1.00 rod = 1767 / 982 psi = 785 diff
Should I be concerned about psi difference in pull between the different rods or is it pretty much nominal?
I am running an unknown brand 1.5x8 with 5/8 rod.

I have a surplus center ram on the racer. Forget which one. I'm not in love with it for high speed back and forth turning. No issues with it turning in the rocks. I do think you get what you pay for.

I am hesitant about cheaping out especially since i use it on the street.

That is my thought as well.

The more I educate myself on the subject of hydraulic cylinders, the more I feel I may have an alignment issue damaging my rod seal.
When I get back to CHS, I am going to closely inspect the cylinder and my mounting job.
