The next generation of multi-purpose hydraulic cylinders

Introducing RC Trio. The next step in the evolution of the legendary RC-Series of hydraulic cylinders. The heart of the Enerpac range.

Highlights of the new RC Trio range include a new ‘Trio’ Bearing System for enhanced durability, and a new hybrid spring-return system for fast retraction and greater productivity.

With the 3rd Generation comes a trio of key features…

New Trio Bearing System

• Includes up to 4 high-performance wear bands – offering increased resistance to damage, reduced bearing load, and longer cylinder lifespan
• Hardened composite material wear bands increase bearing surface area for greater sideload resistance - Significantly improving cylinder life.
• New high-performance Polyethylene seals are more durable and last longer than ever

New Trio Stop Ring

• Part of the Trio Bearing System, the Trio Stop Ring includes an additional wear band to absorb greater side load.
• Capable of taking full cylinder extension force
• Manufactured in Nitrided Steel and High-Resistance Bronze, for increased durability. (Dependent upon cylinder size)
• Features a durable wiper to help prevent contamination from entering the cylinder during retract cycles.

New Trio Spring System**

• Hybrid pre-tensioned return springs for up to 3 x faster retraction and increased productivity. (On 50, 75, and 100 Ton models)
• High-strength steel wire improves spring life
• Spring retention design improves serviceability, while allowing higher pre-load during assembly
• Spring is easily removed without special tools.

PLUS, all of these great features you’ve come to expect from an RC-Series cylinder, including…

Enduring Compatibility

• For full compatibility and peace of mind, model numbers, external dimensions and threads remain unchanged from prior RC-Series cylinders. Ensuring compatibility with historical versions and systems.

Durable Piston Rod

• High-strength steel plunger for improved life and sideload resistance
• Corrosion-resistant nickel coating protects the plunger
• Internal plunger threads - for easy tool fixturing

Sturdy and Ergonomic Thread & Coupler Protectors

• Durable material that will hold its shape under extreme use
• Ergonomic shape and texture of the thread protector - easily attached and removed with oily hands, or when wearing gloves
• Pliable Coupler Dust Cap - for easy push-on/pull-off operation

Enhanced Ergonomics

• Standard carry handles up to 55 lbs (25 kg) where required. Sizes above accept certified lifting eyes and optional handles.
• Collar threads, plunger threads and base mounting holes enable easy fixturing (on most models)

Improved Saddle Retention

• Hardened plunger saddle protects plunger end during all lifting operations
• Easily removable for access to plunger mounting threads
• Tilt and smooth saddles available as accessories (Compatible with the new range of CATS Tilt Saddles)
