Enerpac RRH1508 double acting hollow plunger hydraulic cylinder is used in tensioning, pulling and pushing tasks where a load needs to be pushed or pulled with the assistance of a rod or threaded shaft passing through the cylinder's center.
Working Mechanism:
- The hydraulic fluid is typically supplied by a hydraulic pump or power unit, which pressurises the fluid and delivers it to the cylinder. This pressurised fluid creates a force that is transmitted to the piston, enabling it to perform the desired task, such as lifting, pushing or pulling.
- The cylinder's double-acting design allows the hydraulic fluid to be directed to either side of the piston, enabling force generation in both the extending and retracting directions. This feature provides versatility in applications where force is required in both directions.
Features:
- Enerpac RRH1508 cylinder features steel construction with baked enamel finish for structural rigidity and resisting corrosion on exposed surfaces.
- This Enerpac RRH1508 cylinder has double acting operation for fast retraction.
- It is integrated with a plunger wiper to prevent contaminants from entering inside the cylinder and enhance service life.
- This Enerpac RRH1508 hydraulic cylinder can handle operating pressures up to 10000 psi.
- It is equipped with a nickel-plated floating centre tube for prolonged service life.
- This Enerpac RRH1508 hydraulic cylinder is integrated with hollow plunger for both pulling and pushing forces.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. How do I maintain and service double-acting, hollow plunger hydraulic cylinders?
A. Regular maintenance includes inspecting for leaks, checking the condition of seals and O-rings, lubricating moving parts and ensuring proper alignment and functionality.
Q. What is the stroke length of this Enerpac RRH1508 cylinder?
A. The brand's RRH1508 cylinder has a stroke length of 8 inches. This refers to the distance that the piston can travel within the cylinder.
Q. What is the difference between single-acting and double-acting hydraulic pumps?
A.
- Single-acting hydraulic pumps operate by allowing hydraulic fluid to act on only one side of the piston. They extend when pressure is applied from the pump and retract either due to the weight of the load or through the use of an inbuilt spring.
- On the other hand, double-acting hydraulic pumps have two ports that enable separate expansion and retraction movements. This design enhances efficiency by providing independent control over extending and retracting actions.
