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.

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.
