Raymond Piston – RA780-004-110

Cushions the descent inside a Raymond hydraulic lift cylinder, seating against the cylinder bore to slow the final travel as the carriage lowers and prevent a hard bottoming shock. As a lowering cushion piston, it works with the cylinder seals to control the return flow of hydraulic oil so the mast settles smoothly under load. This is a Raymond component built for Raymond electric lift trucks, where it lives within the lift or telescoping cylinder assembly. Because the piston runs against a finished bore and carries its own sealing surfaces, service typically pairs it with fresh seals during a cylinder rebuild. Match the piston to the bore diameter and seal groove profile of the specific Raymond cylinder being serviced.
