ENERPAC RC-254 General Purpose Hydraulic Cylinder, 4 Inch Stroke Length, 25.8 Ton

Enerpac RC254 hydraulic cylinder is used in the construction, manufacturing, oil and gas, mining, transportation & logistics and maintenance & repair industries for heavy lifting and pushing applications. It offers exceptional durability, versatility and productivity, making it an excellent choice for demanding tasks.

Working Mechanism:

• Connect the RC254 hydraulic cylinder to a hydraulic power source or pump that supplies hydraulic fluid under pressure.
• The hydraulic fluid enters the cylinder, creating a pressure build-up inside.
• The hydraulic pressure forces the piston to move, generating the required force for lifting, pushing, pulling or positioning heavy objects.
• Once the desired force is applied, the hydraulic fluid can be released or redirected back to the hydraulic pump for reuse.
• The movement of the piston can be controlled by regulating the flow of hydraulic fluid into and out of the cylinder.
• Repeat the above steps as needed to perform various tasks requiring hydraulic force, taking advantage of the RC254's high capacity and advanced design.

Features:

• It features a bearing system with composite wear bands for optimal sideload resistance.
• This hydraulic cylinder comes with a strengthened stop ring that enhances durability and side load resistance.
• It is equipped with the Trio Hybrid pre-tensioned spring system, enabling faster retraction.
• This hydraulic cylinder offers high-grade polyethylene seals that ensure low wear and long service life.
