Enerpac RC251 hydraulic cylinder is specifically engineered for lifting heavy loads in various positions and equipped with versatile general-purpose rams. It works in conjunction with a hydraulic pump and enables effortless lifting of heavy loads. This cylinder is ideal for applications in marine and offshore engineering, offering significant benefits in demanding tasks.
Working Mechanism:
- The hydraulic cylinder is attached to the load using a cylinder bottom and a rod eye for a secure connection.
- Pressurised oil is pumped into the cylinder, causing the piston to move and drive the rod in the desired direction.
- To create the counter movement, the pressurised oil is redirected to the other chamber of the cylinder.
- This movement of the piston results in the rod being pulled back, completing the hydraulic cylinder's operation.
Features:
- Enerpac RC256 general purpose hydraulic cylinder features a TRIO bearing system with hardened composite wear bands for optimal side-load resistance.
- This Enerpac RC251 hydraulic cylinder has a strengthened TRIO stop ring for durability.
- It has collar & plunger threads and base mounting holes to enable easy fixturing.
- This Enerpac RC251 hydraulic cylinder has high-grade polyethylene seals to reduce wear.
- It comes with a plunger wiper to reduce contamination.
- This unit comes with a CR-400 coupler and dust cap to prevent environmental contamination.
- It has a hybrid pre-tensioned spring-return system for fast retraction.
- This Enerpac RC251 hydraulic cylinder features steel construction with baked enamel finish for structural rigidity and resisting corrosion on exposed surfaces.
Compatible Accessories:
- Enerpac Cylinder Saddles: These saddles are ideal to distribute the load evenly and protect the plunger from damage.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What are the differences between single-acting and double-acting hydraulic cylinders?
A. This Enerpac RC251 general purpose hydraulic cylinder is a single-acting cylinder Single-acting hydraulic cylinders apply force through one side of the piston, extending under hydraulic pressure and retracting either by the load or an internal spring. In contrast, double-acting hydraulic cylinders have two ports that enable the force to be applied in two directions, allowing both extension and retraction of the piston.
Q. What is the maximum load capacity of this Enerpac RC251 hydraulic cylinder?
A. This hydraulic cylinder can lift a maximum load of 25 tons.
