Enerpac threaded body hydraulic cylinders are designed for compact workholding, fixturing, positioning, and production applications where the cylinder needs to mount directly into a machine fixture or confined installation space. Their threaded-body construction allows the cylinder to be installed securely while minimizing the space required around the tool.
This collection includes Enerpac CST, CDT, CYDA, WMT, and WRT Series threaded body cylinders in single-acting and double-acting configurations for a range of industrial workholding applications.
Enerpac Threaded Body Cylinder Series
- CST Series Cylinders: Compact single-acting threaded body cylinders for workholding, clamping, and fixture applications where installation space is limited.
- CDT Series Cylinders: Double-acting threaded body cylinders for applications requiring hydraulic force and controlled movement in both extension and retraction.
- CYDA Series Cylinders: Double-acting threaded body cylinders designed for compact production and workholding installations.
- WMT Series Cylinders: Double-acting threaded body workholding cylinders for integration into fixtures, machinery, and production systems.
- WRT Series Cylinders: Single-acting threaded body cylinders for compact workholding and fixture applications.
Why Use a Threaded Body Hydraulic Cylinder?
Threaded body cylinders are useful when a conventional external mounting arrangement would consume too much space or complicate fixture design. The threaded cylinder body allows the cylinder to become an integrated part of the fixture or machine, which can help create more compact and repeatable workholding systems.
They are commonly used in machining fixtures, assembly systems, fabrication equipment, production tooling, and other applications where controlled hydraulic force must be applied within a limited installation envelope.
Choosing a Threaded Body Hydraulic Cylinder
Start by determining the hydraulic force and stroke required by the application. From there, evaluate the available installation space, mounting thread, operating direction, and how the cylinder will interface with the workpiece or fixture.
Single-acting cylinders use hydraulic pressure to provide force in one direction and are well suited to many clamping and positioning applications. Double-acting cylinders use hydraulic pressure in both directions, providing greater control over extension and retraction where powered movement is required throughout the cycle.
Mounting dimensions are especially important with threaded body cylinders because the cylinder is typically installed directly into the fixture. Always verify thread size, body dimensions, stroke, capacity, and connection requirements before selecting a model.
