ENERPAC RC55 General Purpose Hydraulic Cylinder, 5 Inch Stroke Length, 4.9 Ton

Enerpac RC55 general purpose hydraulic cylinder is designed for lifting heavy loads and generating powerful forces using hydraulic power. It allows for unidirectional stroke and force, making it well-suited for tasks such as lowering and pulling extended plungers.

Working Mechanism:

• Enerpac A53F Flat Saddle: It is designed to provide a stable platform for lifting and positioning heavy loads. This feature ensures proper weight distribution and enhances the stability of the cylinder during operation. The flat surface minimises the risk of load slippage or shifting, allowing for safe and precise lifting applications.
• Enerpac AW53 Rectangular Mounting Flange: It is specifically engineered to ensure a secure attachment of Enerpac hydraulic cylinders to various structures or surfaces. Its primary function is to provide a stable and dependable connection, enabling the hydraulic cylinder to be securely mounted in place. This ensures that the cylinder remains firmly fixed during operation, preventing any unwanted movement or instability.

Features:

• Enerpac RC55 general-purpose hydraulic cylinder features high-grade polyethylene seals offering superior durability with low wear and a reduced risk of leakage, resulting in extended service life.
• 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 has collar and plunger threads, as well as base mounting holes, that allow for effortless installation and seamless integration into a wide range of applications.
• It is equipped with a reinforced stop ring to withstand heavy loads and harsh operating conditions, ensuring reliable performance and durability.
• This hydraulic cylinder further comes equipped with the Trio Hybrid pre-tensioned spring system, enabling fast retraction and significantly improved overall efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the load capacity of an Enerpac RC-55 general-purpose hydraulic cylinder?

A. It has a load capacity of 20 tons.

Q. How does RC-55 general-purpose hydraulic cylinder prevent contamination?

A. The RC-108 cylinder is designed with a plunger wiper that effectively prevents contamination. The wiper removes dirt, debris, and other contaminants from the plunger, ensuring smooth operation and extending the life of the cylinder.

Q. What is the operating principle of a general-purpose hydraulic cylinder?

A. This general-purpose hydraulic cylinder is designed as a single-acting hydraulic cylinder, utilising hydraulic fluid on one side of the piston for operation. It extends through pressure generated by the pump, while the retraction is achieved either by the weight of the load or a built-in spring. This configuration ensures efficient and reliable performance, allowing for effective pushing or lifting of heavy loads.

Q. What precautions should be taken during the installation of a hollow plunger hydraulic cylinder?

A.

• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, safety glasses and protective clothing.
• Ensure a stable and secure setup for the hydraulic equipment, taking into account factors like weight, balance and surface conditions.
• Follow proper lockout/tagout procedures to prevent unintended activation of the hydraulic system during installation.
