Enerpac RC-Series, RR-Series, and BRD-Series Hydraulic Cylinders

At Hi-Press Hydraulics, as the UK’s leading authorised Enerpac distributor, we supply the complete range of Enerpac cylinders – engineered for reliability, high performance, and safety in industrial lifting, pushing, pulling, and holding applications. Operating at up to 700 bar (10,000 psi), these cylinders deliver exceptional durability and precision, backed by Enerpac’s century-long reputation. Below, we highlight three of the most popular series: the versatile RC-Series, the powerful RR-Series, and the precision-focused BRD-Series.

Enerpac RC-Series Single-Acting Hydraulic Cylinders

The Enerpac RC-Series is the industry benchmark for general-purpose single-acting hydraulic cylinders. These cylinders extend under hydraulic pressure and retract via a hybrid spring-return system for fast, reliable operation – ideal for boosting productivity in maintenance, fabrication, and construction tasks.

Key features and benefits include:

Single-acting design with hybrid spring return for quicker retraction and reduced cycle times
High-strength alloy steel construction for superior durability and sideload resistance
Baked enamel finish and corrosion-resistant components for long service life in harsh environments
Wide capacity range (typically 5–100+ tons) with stroke lengths from 1″ to 12″ or more
Redesigned bearing system and thread protectors for ease of use and extended lifespan
Collar threads, plunger threads, and base mounting holes for versatile fixturing

Whether you’re lifting heavy machinery or pressing components, the RC-Series offers trusted performance in a compact, all-position design.

Enerpac RR-Series Double-Acting Hydraulic Cylinders

For applications requiring controlled extension and retraction – especially long-stroke tasks – the Enerpac RR-Series double-acting hydraulic cylinders provide superior speed, control, and force in both directions.

Key features and benefits include:

Double-acting operation with hydraulic return for faster, more precise plunger retraction
High tonnage capacities (10–520 tons) and extended strokes (up to 48″ or more) for demanding jobs
Robust collar threads, plunger threads, and base mounting holes for easy integration into fixtures
Baked enamel finish for enhanced corrosion resistance and durability
Heavy-duty construction rated to 700 bar, suitable for high-cycle industrial use
Ideal for tensioning, pushing/pulling over long distances, or controlled load holding

The RR-Series excels in scenarios where positive retraction is essential, such as in rigging, shipbuilding, or heavy equipment maintenance.

Enerpac BRD-Series Double-Acting Precision Production Cylinders

The Enerpac BRD-Series is engineered specifically for high-cycle, precision production environments where long life and repeatable accuracy are critical. These double-acting cylinders are built for continuous operation in manufacturing and automation.

Key features and benefits include:

Double-acting design for force in both directions, maximising efficiency in production cycles
Precision tolerances and unique mounting configurations for simplified fixturing and high repeatability
Long-life construction optimised for high-cycle applications (ideal for presses, clamping, or assembly lines)
Capacities typically from 3–25 tons (or higher in select models) with varied stroke lengths
Baked enamel finish and robust build for reliability under frequent use
Hydraulic return ensures consistent performance and reduced downtime

Choose the BRD-Series when your process demands precision, speed, and endurance in repetitive tasks.

Enerpac RC vs RR vs BRD Series Comparison – Which Cylinder Is Right for You?

Feature / Specification	RC-Series (Single-Acting)	RR-Series (Double-Acting)	BRD-Series (Double-Acting)
Acting Type	Single-acting (hydraulic extend, spring/hybrid return)	Double-acting (hydraulic extend & retract)	Double-acting (hydraulic extend & retract)
Primary Use	General purpose, maintenance, lifting, pressing	Long-stroke pushing/pulling, controlled retraction, tensioning	Precision production, high-cycle manufacturing, clamping, assembly
Typical Capacity Range	5–100+ tons (e.g., 4.9–103+ tons common models)	10–500+ tons (e.g., 11–354+ tons)	Lower to mid-range (e.g., 3–16 tons / 35–142+ kN)
Stroke Length Options	Short to medium (e.g., 1–12 inches typical)	Long strokes available (e.g., up to 48 inches+)	Medium strokes (e.g., 79–260 mm / 3–10 inches)
Return Method	Hybrid spring return (fast, no hose needed for retract)	Hydraulic return (positive, controlled speed)	Hydraulic return (consistent for repetitive cycles)
Key Advantages	Versatile, compact, all-position use, cost-effective for one-way force, durable GR2 bearing tech	Faster/more controlled retraction, ideal for long distances, high force in both directions	High repeatability, precision tolerances, long life in high-cycle environments, simplified fixturing
Mounting / Fixturing	Collar threads, plunger threads, base mounting holes (most models)	Collar threads, plunger threads, base mounting holes	Unique mounting configurations for production setups
Durability / Cycle Life	High (industrial general use, corrosion-resistant baked enamel)	High (heavy-duty, 700 bar rated)	Optimized for very high cycles / production endurance
Best Applications	Machinery lifting, construction, fabrication, maintenance tasks	Rigging, shipbuilding, heavy equipment, long-reach jobs	Presses, automation lines, repetitive clamping/assembly in manufacturing
Pressure Rating	700 bar (10,000 psi)	700 bar (10,000 psi)	700 bar (10,000 psi)
Ideal For	Quick jobs where retraction speed matters and force is one-directional	Jobs needing pull/hold and precise control over long strokes	Continuous, accurate operation in production settings

Quick tip: Choose RC-Series for fast, versatile single-acting tasks; RR-Series for powerful, long-stroke double-acting control; and BRD-Series for precision and endurance in repetitive production work. All are built to Enerpac’s 700 bar standard with excellent corrosion resistance.
