got an older Enerpac RC cylinder, are the threads and outside dimensions the same on this RC-256 or did they change things up
Answer by: Customer Support on Oct 15, 2025, 9:58 AM
Good news if you are swapping from an earlier RC-Series cylinder. The RC-TRIO generation keeps the same RC-Series model numbers, external dimensions, and threads as the prior RC Series cylinders, so fit and interchangeability stay consistent.
Question by: Lyle C on Jul 24, 2025, 6:44 PM
Does the spring actually pull the plunger back on its own, or do I need to run return pressure to get it to retract?
Answer by: Customer Support on Jul 25, 2025, 8:29 PM
No return line needed. The pre-tensioned spring built into this cylinder handles retraction automatically once pressure is released. Enerpac calls it the Trio Hybrid system, and it's notably faster at snapping back than older spring-return designs. Good setup for situations where cycle time matters or where running a second hydraulic line would be a pain.
