Enerpac RC2514 general-purpose hydraulic cylinder is a mechanical component designed to generate linear force using hydraulic fluid power. It consists of a cylindrical barrel, a piston & piston rod. The barrel serves as the main body of the cylinder, housing the other components. It is used in the manufacturing, agriculture and construction industries.
Working Mechanism:
- When hydraulic pressure is supplied to the cylinder, hydraulic fluid enters the cylinder through the inlet port.
- The hydraulic fluid exerts pressure on the piston, causing it to move in the desired direction.
- As the piston moves, it pushes the rod, which is connected to the load or mechanism that needs to be operated.
- The load or mechanism is moved accordingly, providing the desired linear force or motion.
- To control the speed of the cylinder, a flow control valve can be used to regulate the flow of hydraulic fluid into and out of the cylinder.
