The Yale YFS Flat range provides extremely low-profile hydraulic cylinders with strokes of 11 to 15 mm for applications where vertical clearance is the absolute limiting factor. Capacities span 10 to 100 tonnes at 700 bar operating pressure. The cylinders share Yale's ChroMo-Design construction.

Flat-cylinder profile for tight working areas

Yale documentation states the YFS suits lifting, pushing, levelling and pressing applications in tight working areas. Yale specifies an important operational caveat: due to their short strokes, flat cylinders should NOT be subjected to side loading - the design priority is minimal vertical height, not lateral force handling.

Suitable Applications

Per Yale: steel mills, civil engineering, heavy construction, power plants and off-shore industries where vertical clearance is restricted.

Cylinders need a matched pump and hose and coupler set — pressure rating and coupler type must agree across the whole circuit before anything is ordered.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the YFS handle side loading?

No. Yale specifically states that due to their short strokes, flat cylinders should not be subjected to side loading. Use a YS or YH universal cylinder if side loading is expected.
