ENERPAC RD43 General Purpose Hydraulic Cylinder, 4 Ton, Capacity, 3.13 Inch Stroke Length, Double-Acting

Enerpac RD43 general purpose hydraulic cylinder is a double-acting hydraulic ram ideal for tasks that require precise and controlled movement. It is suitable for tasks, such as lifting, pushing, pulling and pressing heavy loads. It is used in heavy-duty industrial applications, including manufacturing, construction and maintenance.

Working Mechanism:

• The operation begins with the hydraulic pump sending fluid into one of the ram's two chambers, based on the desired direction of movement.
• When the hydraulic fluid is pumped into the cylinder's bottom chamber, the pressure increase pushes the piston upward, causing the ram to extend.
• The fluid in the opposite (top) chamber is pushed back into the reservoir or another part of the hydraulic system.
• To retract the ram, hydraulic fluid is directed into the upper chamber of the cylinder.
• The pressure increase in the top chamber and the simultaneous release of pressure in the bottom chamber cause the piston to move downward.
• After completing the cycle, the hydraulic fluid is either returned to the reservoir or redirected to perform the opposite action.

Features:

• It features double acting cylinder for precise control in both extension and retraction movements.
• This hydraulic cylinder has a steel body for structural rigidity and withstanding high pressures.
• It has baked enamel finish for corrosion resistance and aesthetic appearance.
• This Enerpac double-acting cylinder is equipped with a plunger wiper, reducing contamination.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the nominal capacity of this Enerpac RD43 general purpose hydraulic cylinder?

A. It has a maximum nominal capacity of 5 tons for heavy-duty applications, making it capable of easily handling significant loads.

Q. What is the push capacity of this Enerpac RD43 general purpose hydraulic cylinder?

A. It has a push capacity of 4 tons for efficiently delivering substantial force for industrial and mechanical operations requiring high push force.

Q. How to maintain this 4-ton hydraulic cylinder ram?

A. Regular maintenance includes checking for hydraulic fluid levels, ensuring all connections are tight & leak-free and inspecting the ram for any signs of wear or damage. Also, it is important to keep the ram clean and store it in a dry, dust-free environment.

Q. What safety precautions should I take when using a hydraulic ram?

A. Always ensure that the load is securely supported and never exceeds the maximum rated capacity of the ram. Regularly inspect your hydraulic setup for any signs of damage or leaks and ensure all operators are trained to properly use hydraulic equipment.

Q. What should I do if this 4-ton hydraulic cylinder ram does not extend or retract properly?

A. Check for adequate hydraulic fluid levels and ensure that no air leaks are there in the system. Also, inspect for any blockages or damage to the hoses or the ram itself. If issues persist, consult a professional or the manufacturer for assistance.
