Description
Double-Rod Aerial Work Platform Steering Ram
Achieve perfect symmetrical steering control with our advanced through-rod AWP Steering Cylinder. Engineered with a dual 100mm stroke and 10MPa working pressure, this lightweight yet highly durable actuator guarantees flawless maneuverability for your heavy-duty aerial equipment.
1. Comprehensive Product Overview
The EPYY11112007 AWP Steering Cylinder is a specialized, double-acting, through-rod hydraulic actuator designed specifically for the complex steering geometries of Aerial Work Platforms (AWP). By utilizing a continuous rod design, this Aerial Work Platform Hydraulic Cylinder ensures that turning left and right requires the exact same hydraulic volume and delivers the exact same torque.
As a premier aftermarket solution, the EPYY11112007 serves as a direct, drop-in replacement for worn or leaking steering cylinders on major OEM brands such as JLG, Genie, Skyjack, Haulotte, and Snorkel, ensuring your fleet gets back to work without dealership delays.
Target Industry Applications:
- Warehouse Scissor Lifts: Symmetrical turning for navigating extremely narrow indoor aisles.
- Articulating Boom Lifts: Reliable steering control on rugged outdoor construction sites.
- Aviation Maintenance: Precise wheel positioning around delicate aircraft structures.
- Municipal Utility Vehicles: Stable navigation for bucket trucks on uneven road cambers.
Core Advantage Summary: Featuring a highly efficient Φ40mm bore and dual 100mm strokes, this 7kg Scissor Lift Steering Ram is lightweight yet rugged. Its 15MPa withstand pressure rating ensures it can absorb lateral impacts without blowing seals, providing long-term reliability.

3. Working Principle & Structural Blueprint
Unlike standard single-rod cylinders, the EPYY11112007 features a Through-Rod (Double-Rod) Design. This architectural choice is highly specific to AWP steering applications, as it provides inherently symmetrical steering characteristics.
Operational Dynamics: Because the Φ25mm rod extends continuously through both ends of the Φ40mm barrel, the hydraulic fluid acts upon exactly the same surface area of the piston, regardless of whether the fluid enters the left or right port. Consequently, when operating at 10MPa, the cylinder outputs identical lateral force and identical stroke speed (100mm) in both directions. This eliminates “steering pull” and ensures predictable operator feedback.
Blueprint Anatomy: The CAD drawing clearly details the 645mm overall length and the twin mounting blocks integrated directly onto the cylinder barrel. These trunnion-style blocks secure the barrel to the axle, allowing the dual rod ends to push/pull the steering linkages simultaneously.

4. Core Advantages of EPYY Steering Rams
1:1 Symmetrical Steering
The double-rod design ensures identical hydraulic volume displacement. This translates to equal turning speed and force for both left and right directions, maximizing driver control and safety.
15MPa Shock Resistance
Operating efficiently at 10MPa, the heavy-duty barrel is engineered to withstand 15MPa hydraulic spikes. This protects the seals from blowing out when wheels strike curbs or debris.
Zero-Drift NOK Sealing
Integrated with a premium imported NOK sealing matrix, the cylinder eliminates internal fluid bypass, ensuring your wheels remain locked at the exact steering angle you demand.
Hard-Chrome Dual Rod
The Φ25mm continuous piston rod is induction-hardened and coated with 30-50µm of hard chrome, providing exceptional resistance against rust, mud, and abrasive construction dust.
Perfect OEM Drop-In
Weighing only 7kg with precise mounting block dimensions, the EPYY11112007 guarantees a fast, modification-free installation for your MRO service technicians.
5. Structure and Material Craftsmanship
As a dedicated Aerial Work Platform Cylinder Manufacturer, we utilize advanced metallurgy to combat the rapid cycling wear that steering cylinders endure. The EPYY11112007 is engineered for maximum uptime.
The Φ40mm cylinder barrel is machined from ST52.3 (E355) precision cold-drawn seamless tubing. The internal bore undergoes a rigorous CNC skiving and burnishing process to achieve a mirror-like Ra 0.2µm surface finish, drastically reducing friction and extending seal life.
- Continuous Rod Forging: The single-piece Φ25mm rod is forged from high-tensile 45# carbon steel, ensuring it will not snap or deform under heavy lateral steering forces.
- Automated Welding: The central mounting blocks are secured using robotic TIG/MIG welding, validated by ultrasonic testing to ensure a 100% leak-proof and fracture-proof bond to the barrel.
- Hydrostatic QC Testing: Every unit is subjected to a strict 15MPa pressure hold test prior to packaging, ensuring immediate reliability out of the box.
State-of-the-art testing lines guarantee every steering cylinder meets our strict 15MPa withstand ratings.
6. Typical Aerial Application Scenarios
📦 Narrow Aisle Logistics
In vast distribution centers, electric scissor lifts rely heavily on the EPYY11112007’s symmetrical steering to maneuver effortlessly around tight corners and tall racking systems without jerky corrections.
🏗️ Infrastructure Construction
When steering a heavy articulating boom lift over uneven, debris-covered concrete, the robust 10MPa push/pull force ensures the tires overcome physical obstacles without blowing out the rod seals.
✈️ Aviation & Facilities
Precise, predictable steering is non-negotiable when operating near expensive aircraft fuselages or fragile architectural glass. The zero-drift seals guarantee the steering angle holds exactly where set.
The EPYY11112007 provides uncompromising steering control for heavy-duty AWP fleets globally.
