Enerpac RC502 Single Acting Hydraulic Cylinder

Product Description

The ENERPAC RC502 is a single-acting portable hydraulic cylinder designed for heavy-duty lifting, pushing, and pressing applications in industrial and maintenance environments. It features a solid plunger, a steel body, and a 22.09 cubic inch oil capacity. With a retracted length of 6.94 inches and an extended length of 8.94 inches, the RC502 provides a 2-inch stroke in a compact form factor. The 3.13-inch rod diameter delivers robust load-bearing capacity. This cylinder is part of the ENERPAC RC Series and is installed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, and heavy-equipment mechanics who require a reliable single-acting hydraulic solution.

The RC502 is suited for stationary and portable hydraulic setups in manufacturing facilities, construction sites, and maintenance shops. Its compact retracted height makes it practical for tight work spaces where access is limited. The cylinder operates with a single-acting design, meaning hydraulic pressure advances the plunger and an external load or spring returns it. It is compatible with standard hydraulic hand pumps and power units that supply the appropriate working pressure for the RC Series.

Key Features

• Single-acting actuation with a solid plunger for straightforward lifting and pressing operations
• Steel body construction for durability in industrial service
• 22.09 cubic inch oil capacity supports consistent stroke performance
• Compact 6.94-inch retracted length suits confined work spaces
• 2-inch stroke from 6.94 inches retracted to 8.94 inches extended
• 5-12 collar thread for standard hydraulic coupling compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use cylinder within the ENERPAC RC Series hydraulic cylinder lineup, compatible with hydraulic hand pumps and power units designed for single-acting RC Series cylinders.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified hydraulic technicians or millwrights familiar with high-pressure hydraulic systems. Before connecting or disconnecting hydraulic lines, relieve all system pressure and ensure the load is fully supported by independent means. Inspect all fittings, hoses, and couplings for wear or damage before pressurizing the system. Follow applicable ASME and OSHA guidelines for hydraulic lifting equipment and never exceed the rated capacity of the cylinder or the connected hydraulic circuit.
