Enerpac rc-5013 Hydraulic Cylinder 55.2 Ton 13.25 in Stroke

Product Description

The ENERPAC rc-5013 is a single acting, general purpose hydraulic cylinder designed for heavy-duty lifting, pushing, and pressing applications across industrial and construction trades. Part of the RC-TRIO generation of the RC-Series line, it delivers 55.2 tons of capacity with a 13.25 inch stroke. A pre-tensioned spring drives fast plunger retraction, reducing cycle time on repetitive operations. The robust bearing system uses composite wear bands and a hardened stop ring to resist side-load forces, reducing wear and minimizing the need for unplanned repairs. Polyethylene seals and a plunger wiper contribute to extended service life in demanding field and shop environments.

The rc-5013 is suited for maintenance, fabrication, heavy equipment service, and structural alignment tasks where controlled linear force is required. It fits residential, commercial, and industrial applications wherever a compact, high-capacity single acting cylinder is called for. Technicians and millwrights working with hydraulic pressing, load lifting, and alignment jigs will find the stroke length and tonnage rating well matched to a wide range of job site demands. The cylinder shares dimensions and thread patterns with prior RC-Series models, supporting straightforward integration into existing hydraulic tooling setups.

Key Features

• 55.2 ton load capacity for heavy industrial lifting and pressing operations
• 13.25 inch stroke provides substantial travel range for single-stage cylinders
• Pre-tensioned spring enables fast, automatic plunger retraction
• Composite wear bands and hardened stop ring resist side-load damage
• High-grade polyethylene seals and plunger wiper extend service life
• Dimensions and threads compatible with prior RC-Series cylinders

Compatibility

Shares the same dimensions and thread specifications as prior-generation ENERPAC RC-Series single acting hydraulic cylinders, allowing direct integration with existing RC-Series tooling and hydraulic systems.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or millwright familiar with high-pressure hydraulic systems. Depressurize the hydraulic circuit and relieve all load before connecting or disconnecting the cylinder. Ensure the hydraulic pump output pressure rating is compatible with the cylinder before use. Always position the cylinder on a stable, flat surface rated to handle the applied load, and never exceed the rated capacity.
