Specification Table
SAILTEC manufactures boom vangs in the same manner as hydraulic cylinders. The boom vang has a nitrogen return system and if sized properly will support the weight of the boom, eliminating the need for a topping lift.
• Tension is 5000 psi or 350 bar
• Return force is at 500 psi or 35 bar
• Length is pin-to-pin closed and will be adjusted to meet your EXACT REQUIREMENTS
• Stainless cylinders available
• Standard finish is hard coat black anodized
Made of the SAME HIGH QUALITY materials used for SAILTEC cylinders, boom vangs have heavier piston rods than cylinders. Models -17 and larger have a passage in the piston rod to permit plumbing the system pressure to the cylinder jaw, to reduce the amount of the deck hose.

SAILTEC has designed its cylinders to be reliable, long-lasting, and efficient. SAILTEC has done this by using high-strength aluminum alloys and advanced manufacturing techniques. SAILTEC also uses Molyguard bearings on the piston and the upper end to ensure cylinder and piston rod scoring does not occur while under side load.
SAILTEC cylinders are available in three standard stroke lengths with pneumatic return or double-acting feature. Aluminum upper jaws are standard on all cylinders. All exterior surfaces are hard anodized for greater corrosion resistance, and to retain their attractive appearance for many years of service.
The SAILTEC Locking Option is available on both standard and long-stroke cylinders. This mechanical device locks the cylinder in position, thus allowing the release of hydraulic pressure. Also, the threaded lock rod can be marked for upwind and downwind positioning.
SAILTEC cylinders are designed to pull (typically), push, or both with common applications such as backstays, forestays, outhauls, and travelers. SAILTEC cylinders have proven to be reliable, long-lasting and efficient. High-strength aluminum and T-316 stainless alloys and state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques result in precision, zero-leak cylinders with even seal loads and minimal seal wear. The upper jaw, lower jaw and cylinder are made of high-strength, heat-treated aluminum alloy, precision-honed and polished for appearance.
The stock cylinders available can also be custom built with polished T-316 steel, custom stroke lengths to 100" (2,500mm), threaded rod ends for turnbuckle bodies, and configured to pull hydraulic/push pneumatic or push/pull hydraulically.
