Multiquip 12056 Hydraulic Cylinder 2.5" Bore x 1.5" Stroke - OEM Replacement Part

This hydraulic cylinder controls the blade pitch angle on Multiquip ride-on power trowels, allowing operators to transition from floating to finishing operations during concrete slab work. The 2.5-inch bore, 1.5-inch stroke, and 0.75-inch rod diameter are precisely engineered to deliver the hydraulic force needed to adjust the blade spider assembly angle under load.

On HHX-series ride-on trowels, this cylinder is a critical component of the hydraulic system that adjusts the five radially-spaced blades per rotor. Proper blade pitch control is essential for achieving the correct finish quality as blades are swirled around the concrete surface. Combination blades (8-10 inches wide) and finish blades (6 inches wide) require precise angular positioning to transition from floating fresh concrete to final finishing passes.

Common failure symptoms include inability to adjust blade pitch, hydraulic fluid leaks around cylinder seals, inconsistent blade angle response, or complete loss of blade positioning control. Regular inspection of cylinder rod condition and seal integrity should be performed during routine maintenance intervals along with engine and gearbox lubrication checks.
