Rammer 5011 Cylinder: Core Hydraulic Breaker Component

Maintain the precision of your Rammer 5011 breaker with a high-integrity Cylinder replacement. Essential for maximizing impact MERIT and internal longevity.

The Cylinder is the primary housing and functional body of the Rammer 5011 hydraulic breaker. It is the chamber within which the Piston (Striker) reciprocates, acting as the foundation for the entire percussion mechanism. The hydraulic cylinder contains precision ports and galleries that control the flow of oil, timing the blows and generating the force necessary for breaking. Its internal surface, or bore, is critical, as any imperfection can lead to massive power loss.

Applying the acronym MERIT (Maintenance, Endurance, Reliability, Integrity, Tool Life) to the Cylinder:

• Maintenance: A cylinder manufactured with precise bore tolerances and surface finish is crucial for minimizing wear on the seals and the Piston itself. This precision reduces the need for frequent internal Maintenance and costly repairs.
• Endurance: The cylinder is subjected to enormous hydraulic pressure fluctuations and mechanical stress from the Piston’s movements. A quality replacement is forged from robust, high-tensile steel, ensuring maximum Endurance against expansion, fatigue, and potential cracking.
• Reliability: The internal ports must be perfectly aligned and sized to ensure the oil correctly directs the Piston—a process known as valve timing. This perfect hydraulic choreography provides consistent and powerful blows, guaranteeing the Reliability of the breaker’s performance under heavy load.
• Integrity: The Integrity of the cylinder bore’s smooth, hardened surface is paramount. Any scoring or scratching compromises the seal, leading to internal leakage (bypass), which results in a significant drop in impact energy and high oil temperatures.
• Tool Life: A cylinder with proper dimensional integrity ensures the Piston travels along a true path. This precision prevents misalignment of the Piston strike on the tool, indirectly extending Tool Life by reducing side loading and uneven wear on the chisel.

In essence, investing in a high-quality Rammer 5011 Cylinder is fundamental to upholding the MERIT of the entire breaker, ensuring efficient, powerful, and long-lasting operation.
