Multiquip 48164 Cylinder Position Pitch - OEM Replacement Part for Power Trowels

The position pitch cylinder controls blade pitch adjustment on Multiquip ride-on power trowels, enabling precise blade angle control for optimal concrete finishing quality. This critical hydraulic component works in conjunction with the trowel arm assembly and thrust collar to maintain consistent blade pitch throughout operation, directly affecting finish quality and surface uniformity.

Proper blade pitch adjustment is essential for preventing common troweling issues including bouncing, concrete rolling, and uneven swirl patterns in finished surfaces. According to Multiquip maintenance procedures, blade pitch is adjusted through the contact point between the trowel arm and the lower wear plate on the thrust collar. When the position pitch cylinder fails or loses hydraulic pressure, blades cannot pitch flat correctly, resulting in inconsistent finishing and potential damage to the trowel arm assembly.

During troubleshooting procedures, technicians should verify trowel arm travel does not exceed 1/8" (3.2mm) at the tip and ensure thrust collar flatness remains within 0.02" (0.5mm) tolerance. Replace this cylinder immediately if blade pitch becomes inconsistent or unresponsive to adjustment.

Compatible with the following Multiquip power trowel models:

• HTX6H
• STX6H
