Rated for 10,000 psi (700 bar) and built around a compact, low-profile design, the 11.2 ton Capacity, 1.50 in Stroke, Low Height Hydraulic Cylinder from Enerpac is well suited for lifting and production applications where vertical clearance is limited. With a 1.69 in bore diameter, a 1.5 in stroke, and a weight of just 6 lbs, this cylinder fits comfortably in confined work areas while maintaining the structural rigidity needed for both vertical and horizontal use.
Part of Enerpac's RCS Series, this single-acting cylinder uses a spring return mechanism rather than relying on load weight to retract the plunger, making cycling faster and more consistent. Plated steel construction and a baked enamel finish provide resistance to corrosion, while a plunger wiper helps keep contaminants out and extends service life. The grooved plunger end includes threaded holes for mounting tilt saddles, and a CR-400 coupler with dust cap is included.

Does this cylinder retract on its own or do I need to do something special to bring the plunger back down after lifting?

Built into every RCS cylinder is a return spring, so the plunger retracts automatically once pressure is released. You don't have to rely on the load's weight to push it back down, which is a real advantage when you're working horizontal or in a tight spot where the load can't do that work for you.

tight spot under a machine base. how short is this cylinder when it’s collapsed, and how much lift do you actually get?
Answer by: Customer Support on Oct 25, 2025, 2:32 PM
For cramped setups, the key number on this one is the stroke. It gives 1.50 inches (38 mm) of lift, and it’s part of Enerpac’s RCS low profile line that’s built specifically for limited-clearance work.
