Engineering

Our in-house engineering team can design cylinders specifically for your application, or we can manufacture to your prints and specifications. We have extensive experience in solving tough application problems in a variety of markets and frequently redesign cylinders for new customers with a history of failure. The failures are typically eliminated at a reduced cost. Our engineers will work closely with your engineers to create the best possible hydraulic cylinder for your application.

Computer FEA modeling and in-house fatigue testing insures the highest standard of structural reliability under fatigue, shock, or vibration loading. Our fatigue test stations validate your cylinders in an accelerated life cycle test. We can perform any type of testing required, such as impulse, opposing full cycle, simulated loading, or comparison using your actual pressure curves.

Contact our engineering staff early in your design process. We can go to work to design the most reliable and cost-effective cylinder. We can also provide 2D or 3D models designed in Pro/Engineer or translated to any other format for use in your design software and marketing literature.


Manufacturing

RMT manufactures cylinders in two state-of-the-art facilities located in Sheldon, Iowa (191,000 sq. ft) and Spirit Lake, Iowa (256,000 sq. ft.) using cellular and LEAN manufacturing principles. With a background in tool and die making, RMT has an innovative approach to cylinder manufacture utilizing the latest in manufacturing technology and custom, in-house designed production, automation, and robotic equipment. As a robotics and welding equipment distributor, we have access to cutting edge technology and have the expertise necessary for successful integration for cylinder manufacture. Our CNC job shop utilizes some of the most advanced equipment available, which gives us a level of machining and fabrication capability that is unheard of in the cylinder industry.


Quality

RMT's industry wide reputation for quality speaks for itself. At RMT, quality begins with our people. Our employees are carefully trained, highly skilled members of the RMT team. They strive to continue their technical education and develop their professional skills. They care that each item they produce is made to specifications.

Our progressive Quality Assurance program ensures consistent quality in all the products we make. We produce nearly all of our cylinder components in-house and use this vertical integration to maintain absolute control of our product quality. This quality is built in whether the item is for a high volume automotive application or a single piece repair part.

Every RMT cylinder is 100% hydraulically tested to our exacting standards. Test stand cleanliness levels are monitored by a particle counter and maintained to exceed your ISO level requirements.


Finish Painting

Painted cylinders arrive at your facility ready to go directly to your assembly line. You realize lower finishing costs, lower warranty, and higher assembly line throughput, since our modern finishing system is specifically designed for painting cylinders. Using a wet-on-wet two-component primer and polyurethane topcoat, the paint quality that is produced in our finishing system is unmatched. The system is capable of handling 20 different concurrent colors through an electronic proportioning unit that guarantees reliable, accurate mix ratios and quick changeover. Low curing temperatures are strictly controlled to protect heat sensitive cylinder seals. Infrared bake ovens keep internal cylinder components cool during the cure cycle.



Delivery

RMT maintains a fleet of trucks to assure fast, on-time delivery for extremely low delivery cost. Our truck fleet gives us greater control of incoming materials and delivery of finished product to our customers. This ability adds value to our operation and our product by reducing inventory levels, both in our facility and yours. Delivery to our customers ensures on-time shipments, satisfying JIT requirements while eliminating freight damage.
