ENERPAC RC-156 General Purpose Hydraulic Cylinder, 15 Ton, Capacity, 6 Inch Stroke Length, Single Port

Enerpac RC156 hydraulic cylinder is used for pushing, pulling, lifting and holding heavy loads. It is a single-acting cylinder, which means it utilises hydraulic fluid to extend the piston and perform work in one direction, while the retraction is achieved by external forces such as the weight of the load or an in-built spring. They are used in industries such as offshore, engineering, marine, aerospace, agricultural, oil & gas, mining and food & production.

Working Mechanism:

• Ensure that you connect the cylinder to the hydraulic pump using appropriate fittings and hoses.
• Verify that the hydraulic pump has a sufficient level of hydraulic fluid and is functioning properly.
• Attach the cylinder securely and stably to the load or object that requires lifting or movement.
• Activate the hydraulic pump to generate pressure, allowing the cylinder to extend and perform the intended task.
• Monitor the operation closely and make any necessary adjustments to the pressure for precise control.
• After achieving the desired action, release the pressure from the hydraulic pump.
• Carefully disconnect the cylinder from the load, taking precautions, and store it in a clean and dry environment.

Features:

• Enerpac RC156 hydraulic cylinder comes with collar & plunger threads and mounting holes that allow for effortless installation and seamless integration into a wide range of applications.
• It incorporates a robust bearing system with composite wear bands, ensuring exceptional sideload resistance and minimising cylinder wear for smooth and reliable operation.
• This cylinder features high-grade polyethylene seals offering superior durability with low wear and a reduced risk of leakage, resulting in extended service life.
• It is equipped with a reinforced stop ring to withstand heavy loads and harsh operating conditions, ensuring reliable performance and durability.
• This cylinder further comes equipped with the Trio Hybrid pre-tensioned spring system, enabling faster retraction and significantly improving overall efficiency and productivity.

Compatible Accessories:

• Enerpac A152 Grooved Saddle: It features a grooved surface that provides a stable and secure grip on cylindrical objects during lifting or positioning operations. The grooves in the saddle help prevent slippage, ensuring that the load remains firmly in place and reducing the risk of accidents or mishaps.
• Enerpac REP10 Clevis Eye Plunger: It is a component used in hydraulic systems for connecting the hydraulic cylinder to the load or the equipment being operated. It is designed with a clevis eye on one end, which provides a secure attachment point for connecting the cylinder to various types of load attachments or lifting devices.
