ENERPAC RCH-123 Single-Acting Hollow-Plunger Hydraulic Cylinder, Single Port

Enerpac RCH123 single-acting, hollow plunger hydraulic cylinder is suitable for lifting heavy loads, pushing or pulling objects and providing controlled force. It finds application in construction, maintenance and manufacturing tasks.

Working Mechanism:

• Pressurised hydraulic fluid is supplied to the extended side of the cylinder through hydraulic lines.
• The hydraulic fluid enters the cylinder and acts on the piston, creating a force that pushes it in the direction of extension.
• As the piston moves, it pushes the hollow plunger, extending it outward from the cylinder.
• The extended plunger generates linear force or motion, which can be used to perform various tasks.
• To retract the plunger, the hydraulic fluid is released from the extended side of the cylinder, allowing the external forces or a return spring to bring the plunger back to its original position.

Features:

• It is equipped with a hollow plunger design, allowing it to generate both push and pull forces for enhanced versatility in various applications.
• This unit is designed with a single-acting spring return cylinder for reliable and efficient performance in various operating conditions.
• It includes collar threads, making fixturing easy and easy and quick to simplify installation and use.
• This hydraulic cylinder has a nickel-plated, floating centre tube implemented on models over 20 tons, which enhance the cylinder lifespan by providing increased durability & protection against wear & tear.
• It features baked enamel finish that provides resistance against corrosion, ensuring its long-lasting performance even in challenging environments.
• This unit is equipped with the CR400 coupler for enhancing functionality and compatibility.

Compatible Accessories:

• Enerpac GA45GC Gauge Adapter: It is used to facilitate accurate pressure measurement and monitoring by connecting pressure gauges to hydraulic systems or components.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What safety precautions should be considered while using a single-acting hollow-plunger hydraulic cylinder?

A.

• Inspect the cylinder for any damage, leaks, or worn-out components before each use.
• Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves & safety glasses, to protect against potential hazards.
• Be cautious of pinch points and keep body parts clear of moving parts during operation.
• Avoid exceeding the cylinder's rated capacity or applying excessive force.
• Securely fasten and stabilise the workpiece or load being lifted or moved.

Q. What is the purpose of the single-acting spring return in a hollow plunger hydraulic cylinder?

A. The single-acting spring return allows the plunger to retract back to its original position when the hydraulic pressure is released, ensuring efficient and reliable operation.

Q. How to clean and maintain this single-acting hollow-plunger hydraulic cylinder?

A.

• Inspect the cylinder for any damage or wear before cleaning.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during the cleaning process.
• Clean the exterior surfaces using a cloth or mild detergent solution.
• Rinse the cylinder with clean water to remove any residue.
• Ensure the cylinder is completely dry before proceeding.
• Apply hydraulic cylinder oil or lubricant to the exposed parts.
• Replace seals as necessary to maintain the cylinder's lifespan.
