Enerpac lock nut hydraulic cylinders combine hydraulic lifting force with mechanical load holding for applications where a raised load must remain securely supported. Once the required position is reached, the threaded lock nut can be engaged to mechanically support the load rather than relying on hydraulic pressure alone.
This collection includes high-tonnage, low-profile, single-acting, double-acting, steel, and lightweight aluminum lock nut cylinders for a wide range of industrial lifting and maintenance applications.
Enerpac Lock Nut Cylinder Series
- HCL Series: Single-acting, load-return high-tonnage cylinders with mechanical lock nuts.
- HCRL Series: Double-acting high-tonnage lock nut cylinders with hydraulic advance and return.
- LPL Series: Low-profile lock nut cylinders for applications with limited clearance.
- RACL Series: Lightweight aluminum, single-acting lock nut cylinders for applications where portability and reduced cylinder weight are important.
Choosing a Lock Nut Hydraulic Cylinder
Start with the required lifting capacity and stroke, then consider available clearance, cylinder weight, and return method. High-tonnage HCL and HCRL cylinders are suited for heavy lifting applications, LPL cylinders provide mechanical load holding where vertical space is limited, and RACL cylinders reduce overall tool weight for easier handling and transport.
