ENERPAC HCL-502 50 tons Single Acting Lock Nut Steel Hydraulic Cylinder, 2 Inch Stroke Length

Enerpac HCL-502 50-ton single-acting lock nut hydraulic cylinder is used in heavy equipment maintenance, construction, infrastructure projects, industrial manufacturing and hydraulic system testing and calibration applications. It is ideal for heavy-duty lifting, pushing and pressing tasks, where high force and precision are required.

Working Mechanism:

• The hydraulic cylinder is connected to a hydraulic pump or power source.
• The lock nut is then unlocked and hydraulic pressure is applied to the cylinder using the pump.
• The hydraulic pressure then pushes the piston, extending the cylinder's stroke length.
• Once the desired position is reached, the nut is locked to secure the extended length.
• The lock nut is then released to release the hydraulic pressure for allowing the piston to retract the cylinder.

Features:

• It is equipped with a 2-inch stroke length for precise and controlled hydraulic movement,
• This hydraulic cylinder has a lifting capacity of 50 tons.
• It offers a single-acting design with a lock nut for controlled operation.
• This hydraulic cylinder features steel construction for prolonged service life and structural rigidity.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How do I install Enerpac HCL-502 hydraulic cylinder?

A.

• Prepare the workspace and ensure a safe area for installation.
• Position the hydraulic cylinder correctly in the desired location.
• Connect hydraulic fittings securely to the cylinder ports.
• Attach the hydraulic hose from the pump to the cylinder's inlet port.
• Check for leaks and address any issues before proceeding.
• Gradually apply hydraulic pressure to the cylinder using the pump.
• Monitor the cylinder's operation and adjust the stroke length if necessary.
• Lock the nut or mechanism to secure the extended position of the cylinder.

Q. What is the difference between a double-acting cylinder and a single-acting cylinder?

A. A double-acting cylinder uses compressed air or fluid to move the piston in both directions, while a single-acting cylinder uses compressed air or fluid to move the piston in one direction and a spring or other mechanism to return it to its original position.

Q. How do I clean and maintain this hydraulic cylinder?

A.

• Disconnect and depressurise the hydraulic cylinder.
• Inspect for damage, leaks and corrosion.
• Clean the cylinder's exterior using a cloth or brush.
• Use a mild detergent or cleaning solution for stubborn stains, avoid abrasive cleaners and rinse the cylinder thoroughly with clean water.
• Check hydraulic fittings for leaks and tighten or replace them as needed.
• Lubricate moving parts with hydraulic lubricant.
• Reconnect the cylinder and verify proper operation.
• Regularly follow manufacturer guidelines for inspection and maintenance to ensure longevity and performance.
