ENERPAC RC-50 General Purpose Hydraulic Cylinder, Single Acting, Alloy Steel

Enerpac RC50 general-purpose single-acting hydraulic cylinder is ideal for pushing, pulling, lifting and holding heavy loads. This hydraulic cylinder utilises hydraulic fluid to extend the piston and perform work in one direction and is during maintenance or repair operations.

Working Mechanism:

• Make sure to connect the cylinder to the hydraulic pump using appropriate fittings and hoses.
• Ensure that the hydraulic pump has a sufficient level of hydraulic fluid and is in proper working order.
• Attach the cylinder securely and firmly 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.
• Once the desired action is completed, release the pressure from the hydraulic pump.
• Carefully detach the cylinder from the load, taking precautions, and store it in a clean and dry environment.

Q. What are the factors to consider while choosing a hydraulic cylinder for my application?

A.

• Load capacity
• Stroke length
• Operating pressure
• Construction
• Safety features

Q. What are the maintenance steps for Enerpac RC50 general-purpose hydraulic cylinder?

A.

To ensure optimal performance and longevity, follow these maintenance steps:
• Ensure to clean the cylinder regularly to eliminate dirt, debris or any contaminants that might impede its proper functioning.
• Conduct thorough inspections to detect any signs of leakage, damage or unusual wear on the plunger, seals, or other cylinder components.
• Apply lubrication to the moving parts of the cylinder in accordance with the guidelines provided by the manufacturer.
• Examine the connections and fittings to verify that they are securely tightened and devoid of any damage or excessive wear.

Q. How do I clean this Enerpac RC-50 general-purpose single-acting hydraulic cylinder?

A.

• Gently remove loose dirt and contaminants using a cloth or soft brush.
• Use a mild cleaning solution to clean stubborn dirt, avoiding harsh chemicals.
• Rinse the cylinder with clean water and thoroughly dry it to prevent moisture-related issues.
• Inspect the seals for any signs of damage or wear during the cleaning process.
• Apply compatible hydraulic cylinder lubricant to moving parts if needed.
• Reassemble the equipment, pressurise the cylinder and conduct a function test to verify proper operation.

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

A. Single-acting hydraulic cylinders have one port and use hydraulic pressure to extend the piston, relying on external forces like gravity to retract, whereas double-acting cylinders have two ports, allowing hydraulic pressure to both extend & retract the piston, thereby providing greater control and versatility in applications.
