Part # 44341 – RAM ASSY 1-3/4 X 11 DA

RAM ASSY 1-3/4 X 11 DA

Western Part # 44341 is a complete Ram Assembly featuring a hydraulic cylinder with a 1-3/4 inch bore and an 11-inch stroke, designated as a “DA” or Double-Acting cylinder. This kit provides a brand-new hydraulic ram, ready for installation on various Western Snow Plow models where a cylinder of these specific dimensions and functionality is required. Double-acting cylinders are crucial for applications requiring hydraulic force in both directions, typically controlling the angling of the plow blade left and right with power.

The 1-3/4 inch bore refers to the internal diameter of the cylinder, which directly influences the amount of force the ram can exert given a specific hydraulic pressure. A larger bore generally translates to greater force output. The 11-inch stroke indicates the maximum distance the piston rod can extend or retract, determining the range of motion for the connected plow component, in this case, the blade’s angling movement. Being a double-acting cylinder means it has hydraulic ports at both ends, allowing hydraulic fluid to be applied to either side of the piston, providing powered movement in both the extend and retract directions. This ensures precise and powerful control over the blade’s angle. This complete assembly kit typically includes the hydraulic cylinder itself, the piston rod with its end fitting (which may vary depending on the application), and potentially new hydraulic fittings or ports ready for connection to your plow’s hydraulic hoses.

Replacing a worn, leaking, or damaged hydraulic ram with this complete double-acting assembly ensures the proper and reliable operation of your Western Snow Plow’s angling functions. Using a new, fully assembled unit simplifies the replacement process, saving time and ensuring all critical internal components are in optimal condition for consistent and powerful blade angling. Always refer to your Western Plow’s documentation and hydraulic schematics to confirm that a 1-3/4 inch bore and 11-inch stroke double-acting ram assembly (Part # 44341) is the correct replacement for your specific plow model and application, and follow proper hydraulic installation procedures.
