The Enerpac RACL1508 is a 175.9 ton single-acting aluminum lock nut hydraulic cylinder with a 7.87 in stroke, rated for 10,000 psi. Collapsed height is 18.62 in and it weighs 97.4 lb.
RACL cylinders add a lock nut to the lightweight aluminum body. After the load is raised, the lock nut is turned down to hold it mechanically, so the cylinder does not rely on hydraulic pressure during long holds. Aluminum construction cuts the weight roughly in half compared with steel, the hard-coat finish resists corrosion, and the bolt-on hardened steel saddle and steel base plate protect against load damage. Rated for 10,000 psi and compliant with ASME B30.1.
Key features
- Aluminum Lock Nut provides mechanical load holding for extended periods
- Hardened steel stop ring increases cylinder life and resistance to side-loads of up to 5%
- Hard coat finish on all surfaces resists damage and extends cylinder life
- Composite bearings increase cylinder life and side load resistance
- Handles included on all models
- Steel base plate and saddle for protection against load-induced damage
- Integral stop ring prevents plunger over-travel and is capable of withstanding the full cylinder capacity
- High-strength return spring for rapid cylinder retraction
Before you order
For the longest service life, Enerpac recommends using no more than 80 percent of the rated capacity and stroke. Always use a gauge to monitor system pressure.
Frequently asked questions
What is the capacity and stroke of the Enerpac RACL1508?
175.9 tons at 10,000 psi, with 7.87 in of stroke and a collapsed height of 18.62 in.
Is the RACL1508 single-acting or double-acting?
Single-acting with spring return. Use a hand pump or a powered pump with a 3-way valve and one hose.
How does the lock nut on the RACL1508 work?
Once the load is raised, turn the lock nut down against the cylinder body. The load is then held mechanically, so you are not relying on hydraulic pressure during a long hold.
Does the RACL1508 come with a coupler?
Yes. Enerpac includes a CR400 coupler and dust cap on this model.
