How to order

HCL2508-ORB reads as: HCL series / 25 → 63.5 mm (2.50 in) bore / 08 → 203.2 mm (8 in) stroke / ORB port. State the port type — SAE #8 or 1/2 in NPT — in your inquiry; both are available on this model.

Features

  • Threaded gland and ductile-iron piston with a honed tube
  • Rod induction-hardened to HRC 45–50, hard-chrome plated 0.001 in (finished HRC 69–71)
  • 96-hour salt-spray tested per ASTM B117-07a; zinc-plated pin
  • SAE #8 port with 1/2 in NPT available at order

Frequently asked questions

What is the closed length of the HCL2508-ORB?

It retracts to 514.4 mm (20 1/4 in) and extends to 717.5 mm (28 1/4 in) over its 203.2 mm (8 in) stroke. If your envelope is tighter, the HBU2508-ORB offers the same bore and stroke at a 406.4 mm (16 in) closed length.

How is the rod on the HCL2508-ORB protected against corrosion?

The rod is induction-hardened to HRC 45–50, chrome-plated to 0.001" (finished HRC 69–71) and passes 96 hours of salt-spray testing per ASTM B117-07a. The pin is zinc-plated.
