HCG1004 Enerpac 100 Ton Single-Acting High-Tonnage Cylinder, 3.94 in Stroke, 113 Ton Max Capacity

The Enerpac HCG1004 is a 100-ton class single-acting cylinder from the HCG-Series high-tonnage range, with a 3.94 in stroke and a maximum capacity of 113 tons at 10,150 psi. As a load-return cylinder, the plunger retracts under the weight of the load once pressure is released, so it suits lifting and lowering where the load itself pushes the cylinder back down.

Features

• Hardened surface that resists side-loading and cyclic wear
• Designed to withstand up to 10% side-load of maximum capacity
• Stop-ring to prevent plunger blow-out
• Weather protected, inside and out
• Upper and lower replaceable bearings support the plunger throughout the stroke
• Certified lifting eyes, base mounting holes and collar threads

Sizing

The HCG1004 has an effective area of 22.19 in² and needs 87.35 in³ of oil to advance its full stroke. It is 9.92 in tall collapsed and about 13.86 in extended. Choose a pump with at least 96 in³ of usable oil; a ZE pump with a 1.2 gal (277 in³) reservoir or larger covers a single cylinder. Under full load, a ZE4 pump (60 in³/min at 10,000 psi) takes about 1.5 minutes to complete the stroke and a ZE5 (120 in³/min) about 0.7 minutes; under light load two-stage pumps move it much faster.

How it compares

The HCR1004 is the double-acting version with the same capacity and stroke. Other strokes in the 100-ton HCG range: HCG1002 (1.97 in), HCG1006 (5.91 in), HCG1008 (7.87 in), HCG10010 (9.84 in), HCG10012 (11.81 in).

Before you order: A load-return cylinder needs the load (or an external force) to retract it; keep side-load below 10% of maximum capacity; a collar thread is standard on this 100-ton class.
