ENERPAC RCH-206 Single Acting Hollow Plunger Hydraulic Cylinder, 23.6 Tons

Enerpac RCH206 general purpose hydraulic cylinder is used to lift & lower heavy loads and provide pull & push forces with minimal effort using a hydraulic pump. This single-acting hollow plunger hydraulic cylinder offers unidirectional stroke / force in offshore, marine, engineering, aerospace, agricultural, oil & gas, mining and food & production applications.

Working Mechanism:

• Enerpac RCH206 cylinder is a part of a hydraulic system comprising a hydraulic cylinder, hydraulic pump, an integrated hydraulic valve and system components like hydraulic couplers, hoses & gauges.
• When a user engages the hydraulic pump to force hydraulic oil into the cylinder, pressure builds inside the cylinder for extending the cylinder's plunger.
• The capacity of the cylinder determines the amount of force exerted by the system and the stroke of the cylinder determines the maximum force exertion distance by the plunger on the load.
• The speed and degree of control over the force applied are determined by the pump type & valve control.

Features:

• Enerpac RCH206 hollow plunger cylinder allows both pull and push forces for dual applications.
• Its steel body has baked enamel finish and a nickel-plated, floating centre tube for corrosion resistance, durability and increased product life.
• This Enerpac RCH-206 hollow plunger cylinder features a single-acting spring return for greater retraction speeds.
• It is equipped with collar threads for easy attachment & fixturing of loads.
• This Enerpac RCH-206 hollow plunger cylinder comes with a quick-connect CR-400 female coupler for easy connection.

Compatible Accessories:

• Enerpac Hollow Saddle: These threaded hollow saddles are used with this Enerpac RCH-206 cylinder.
• Enerpac CR400 Hydraulic Coupler: These high flow couplers attach to the hydraulic cylinders for connecting to hydraulic lines.
• Enerpac HC9206C Hose: It is designed to work seamlessly with the Enerpac low hydraulic cylinder. With a length of 6 feet and a 0.25-inch inner diameter for providing the necessary hydraulic fluid transfer capabilities for efficient operation of the cylinder in various applications.
• Enerpac GA45GC Gauge Adapter: It is designed for use with hydraulic cylinder and enables easy connection of pressure gauges, allowing precise monitoring of hydraulic pressure during operation.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What are the differences between single-acting and double-acting hydraulic cylinders?

A. A single-acting hydraulic cylinder applies force through only one side of the piston. The piston generally extends by hydraulic pressure from the pump and then retracts using the load or inbuilt spring. A double-acting hydraulic cylinder on the other hand contains two ports to apply force in two directions for both expanding and retracting the piston.

Q. How to bleed air from Enerpac hydraulic cylinders?

A.

• Attach the cylinder & pump with appropriate hose assembly while ensuring secure connections.
• Place the pump at a higher level than the cylinder if possible.
• Vent the pump reservoir and advance & retract the cylinder with little or no pressure.
• If the plunger operates smoothly, the air has bled out of the system. If the cylinder retracts in a jerky, spongy or pulsating manner, then continue cycling the pump & cylinder stem till the operation has become smooth.

Q. What is the maximum load capacity of this Enerpac RCH-206 hydraulic cylinder?

A. This hydraulic cylinder can lift a maximum load of 23.6 tons.

Q. What maintenance is required for Enerpac RCH206 hydraulic cylinder?

A. Regular inspection and maintenance of Enerpac RCH-206 cylinder are important to ensure optimal performance and longevity. This may include checking for leaks, inspecting seals, cleaning and lubricating moving parts, and following the recommended maintenance intervals outlined in the user manual.

Q. Can Enerpac RCH206 hydraulic cylinder be used in both vertical and horizontal orientations?

A. Yes, the brand's RCH-206 cylinder can be used in both vertical and horizontal orientations. Its design allows for operation in various positions, providing flexibility in different application scenarios.
