Confirm compatibility, support the implement, relieve pressure, and test limited travel slowly.
External stroke limiters must fit the cylinder rod and provide the intended reduction without interfering with the seal, retention, structure, or safe implement movement.
What matters most
External stroke limiters must fit the cylinder rod and provide the intended reduction without interfering with the seal, retention, structure, or safe implement movement.
Key considerations
- Read equipment instructions
- Lower and support the implement
- Shut down and relieve hydraulic pressure
- Use the correct block size
- Test slowly before productive work
Put it to work
Add only the amount of limitation required, keep hands clear during testing, and remove any block that is damaged, loose, or incompatible.
The ANBO approach
Provide rod diameter, photos, and the desired travel reduction so ANBO can help identify the appropriate stroke-control component.
