The Enerpac RCS-Series Low Profile Hydraulic Cylinder is engineered for applications demanding compact strength and versatility. With a maximum operating pressure of 10,000 psi (700 bar), it is ideal for lifting and jacking tasks in confined spaces. This cylinder features a 1.75-inch (45 mm) stroke and a cylinder bore diameter of 2.38 inches (60.5 mm), ensuring robust performance in both vertical and horizontal orientations.
Constructed with a durable baked enamel finish for enhanced corrosion resistance, this low-height hydraulic cylinder is designed for longevity and reliability. The integrated single-acting spring return mechanism allows for rapid retraction, optimizing productivity. Additionally, a plunger wiper reduces contamination, extending the service life of the cylinder. The inclusion of a CR-400 coupler and dust cap ensures ease of connection and maintenance, while the grooved plunger end with threaded holes accommodates mounting tilt saddles for increased application flexibility.
Got a tight spot on the shop floor where a standard cylinder just ain't gonna fit, does this one have a low enough collapsed height to work in real confined setups?

Low collapsed height is exactly what this cylinder is built around. The RCS-201 is part of Enerpac's RCS-Series, which is specifically made for situations where vertical clearance is limited or working space is tight. It weighs only 11 pounds and has a 1.75 inch stroke, so the overall footprint stays compact. It can also run in a horizontal orientation, not just vertical, which opens up more options when you're working in a constrained setup.

tight spot under a machine base. what’s the collapsed height and how much lift do you actually get out of this one?
Answer by: Customer Support on Aug 21, 2025, 6:05 AM
For cramped jobs, the key numbers on the RCS-201 are a 1.75 inch stroke (45 mm) and a 22.1 ton capacity. It is built as a low profile cylinder for limited-clearance lifting, and it runs at up to 10,000 psi (700 bar).
