Abstract: We define a $mathbb{Z}_k$-equivariant version of the cylindrical contact homology used by Eliashberg-Kim-Polterovich (2006) to prove contact non-squeezing for prequantized integer-capacity balls $B(R)imes{S}^{1}subsetmathbb{R}^{2n}imes{S}^1$, $RinmathbbN$ and we use it to extend their result to all $Rgeq1$. Specifically we prove if $Rgeq1$ there is no $psiinextCont(mathbb{R}^{2n}imes{S}^1)$, the group of compactly supported contactomorphisms of $mathbb{R}^{2n}imes{S}^1$ which squeezes $hatB(R)=B(R)imes{S}^1$ into itself, i.e. maps the closure of $hatB(R)$ into $hatB(R)$. A sheaf theoretic proof of non-existence of corresponding $psiinext{Cont}_0(mathbb{R}^{2n}imes{S}^1)$, the identity component of $extCont(mathbb{R}^{2n}imes{S}^1)$, is due to Chiu (2014); it is not known if this is strictly weaker. Our construction has the advantage of retaining the contact homological viewpoint of Eliashberg-Kim-Polterovich and its potential for application in prequantizations of other Liouville manifolds. It makes use of the $mathbb{Z}_k$-action generated by a vertical $1/k$-shift but can also be related, for prequantized balls, to the $mathbb{Z}_k$-equivariant contact homology developed by Milin (2008) in her proof of orderability of lens spaces.
