Air Cylinder - Fifth Wheel Assembly
SAF-Holland

Designed for fifth-wheel coupling systems, this air-cylinder assembly provides precise actuation to operate the locking and release functions that secure or disengage the trailer connection. The inclusion of a fifth-wheel family attribute indicates its specialized role in enabling smooth operation of the fifth-wheel mechanism under pneumatic control, helping to optimize coupling efficiency and reduce wear on moving parts. The device falls under the 059-001-002 VMRS category for air cylinders, ensuring compatibility with standard air-supply manifolds, control valves, and mounting hardware used in heavy-duty tows. In service, it delivers consistent actuation force and reliable response times, contributing to safer hitch operation and easier, quicker disconnects during yard moves or fleet operations. Engineers will value the predictable performance in varied ambient conditions, while maintenance teams benefit from common spare part compatibility across SAF-Holland’s cylinder portfolio. Category context: 42517 emphasizes its place within the air-cylinder subset that supports fifth-wheel actuation functions across the SAF-Holland product line. Cross references: none.
