ENERPAC RC59 General Purpose Hydraulic Cylinder, 5 Ton, 9-1/8 Inch Stroke Length, Solid Plunger

Enerpac RC-59 cylinder is a single-acting hydraulic cylinder used to convert fluid power into linear mechanical force and motion. It consists of a cylindrical tube, a piston and hydraulic fluid. This type of cylinder is commonly used in applications where the load needs to be moved or held in one direction only, such as in construction equipment, agricultural machinery and material handling systems.

Working Mechanism:

• Ensure that the hydraulic system is properly connected and pressurised.
• Position the cylinder and the load to be moved or held.
• Apply hydraulic fluid pressure to the cylinder's active side.
• The fluid pressure will push the piston in the desired direction.
• Release the pressure to stop the movement or hold the load in position.

Features:

• Enerpac RC-59 cylinder has a bearing system with composite wear bands for optimal sideload resistance, ensuring the cylinder can withstand lateral forces effectively.
• It incorporates a strengthened stop ring, enhancing durability and side load resistance.
• This hydraulic cylinder has a TRIO hybrid pre-tensioned spring system that enables faster retraction.
• It has high-grade polyethylene seals to minimise wear, extend the service life and reduce the need for frequent maintenance.
• This hydraulic cylinder also has a plunger wiper to prevent contamination (dirt and debris).
• Its collar and plunger threads, along with the base mounting holes, to facilitate easy fixturing.
• This cylinder also has baked enamel finish to increase corrosion resistance.

Compatible Accessories:

• Enerpac HC9206C Hydraulic Hose: This hose is ideal for transmitting hydraulic fluid from cylinder to other hydraulic components.
• Enerpac GA45GC Pressure Adapter: This assembly is useful for monitoring pressure generated by this Enerpac single-acting hydraulic cylinder.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the difference between single-acting and double-acting hydraulic cylinders?

A. Single-acting cylinders generate force in one direction, while double-acting cylinders can generate force in both directions.

Q. What are the advantages of single-acting hydraulic cylinders?

A. They are simpler in design, cost-effective and suitable for applications where force is required in one direction only.

Q. How do I maintain this Enerpac RC-59 hydraulic cylinder?

A. Regular leak detection, fluid level checks and proper lubrication are all important maintenance tasks.
