Cylinder Support Tools
These fixtures are used to support cylinder tubes and shafts.
Adjustable Cylinder Support | MSD-ACS
This fixture is used to support large cylinder tubes and shafts that are too large to be secured in a chain vise. It can accommodate large and irregular shapes and mounts to any MSD slide plate.
The individual “V” sections are slotted and are secured between two 3/4” T nuts.
As the V’s move toward each other, the overall height of the supporting surfaces increases. One application for this feature is to align a shaft to tube for assembly. Irregular shaped cylinders can be supported horizontally by adjusting each set individually.
The MSD-ACS is manufactured with a Nylatron® cover for polished surfaces to support cylinder tubes (A).
When shafts require to be secured in place the strap assembly (B) is used with the Nylatron® covered surface.
Hydraulic Elevated "V" | MSD-HEV
This manually operated hydraulic scissors jack can be used to support chrome-plated shafts or tubes. This tool is light- weight and easily positioned. The High Density Nylon Vee is bolted to the HEV and will support a chromed or ground rod without marring the surface. The small hydraulic hand jack will let you raise or lower the rod to position it exactly where you need it.
Portable V-Support Cart | MSD-PVSC
MSD-PVSC is a portable “V” support cart. Load rating is 6,000 pounds (2,721.5 kg). The “V” support cart can be adjusted up and down with a range of 18″ (457.2 mm). The cart is designed for a maximum diameter of 16” (406.4 mm).
5-1/2" Riser | MSD-R
Risers are used to elevate vises, nylon “V’s” or other tooling. Holes are drilled to fit our slide plates (bottom) and our standard tooling on the top.
Steel Support "V" | MSD-SS
This simple steel support “V” is used for secondary support of cylinders with a chain vise as the primary retainer. The concentric center is the same as a standard 8” chain vise.
Nylon "V" | MSD-V
The High Density Nylon “V” is used to support finished shafts during assembly and disassembly. The nylon will not mar the chrome plated rod surface. Two sizes are included for large and small cylinders.
Vise Elevator | MSD-VE
Vise Elevator | MSD-VE
This heavy duty Vise elevator is used to center shafts or cylinders to the Nut Busters®. It can support up to 8 tons. Various tooling can be attached to the elevator. We can supply the optional non-mar Nylon Support “V” (MSD-V) and the 8” Ridgid chain vise (RIDGID BC-810) shown below.

Vee Block Roller Plate | MSD-VRP
The vee block roller plate is a heavy-duty support device designed to support cylinder shaft during cylinder pull a part or cylinder assembly. The picture below shows the vee block roller plate with our vise elevator and nylon vees.
The Vee block support plate is designed to support the cylinder shaft during removal and installation of the hydraulic cylinder shaft.
The Vee block support plate is drilled and tapped to allow the user to adjust the supports to contact the cylinder shaft surface.
Vee Block Roller Plate with Hydraulic Lift | MSD-VRP-HL
A hydraulic version of the vee block roller plate is available with a 10-ton hydraulic lift. The lift has a stroke of 4.0 inches. The operator can select one of our nylon vee’s to adjust for the height.
