RSM Series Low Profile Cylinders

RSM-Series, low profile single-acting hydraulic cylinders provide superior durability, safety, and quality in a compact and convenient form. It is an excellent choice for general lifting and production applications where space is limited. Low collapsed height, short stroke, and flat sides ensure safety and stability in both vertical and horizontal orientations. 

• Compact, flat design for use where other cylinders will not fit
• Mounting holes allow for easy fastening
• Baked enamel finish for increased corrosion resistance
• Includes CR400 coupler and dust cap
• High-quality chrome-plated steel plungers
• Grooved plunger ends require no saddle
• Single-acting spring return

Low profile hydraulic cylinder

A low profile hydraulic cylinder is a special type of cylinder designed to operate in areas with limited mounting space, where standard cylinders cannot be used due to their height. Despite their compact dimensions, these types of cylinders are characterized by very high force – often reaching up to several dozen or several hundred tons – making them indispensable in many industrial applications.

What is a low profile hydraulic cylinder? 

A low profile hydraulic cylinder is a variant of a single-acting cylinder, most often equipped with a return spring, allowing for rapid plunger retraction after work is completed. Their main feature is a very small overall height while maintaining full functionality and high operating power. Hydron's offer includes Enerpac RSM series low-profile cylinders, created for work in hard-to-reach places where every millimeter of mounting space matters.

Application of low profile hydraulic cylinders

Low profile hydraulic cylinders are widely used in industry, especially when it is necessary to obtain high force in a limited space. Their typical applications include: service and maintenance work, e.g., lifting machinery, injection molds, or heavy structures, assembly and disassembly of steel elements, structures, and equipment, construction, shipbuilding, and the railway industry where high forces are required with minimal installation height, portable and mobile systems where lightness and compact design count. Due to their design, these cylinders can be used in combination with manual or electric pumps, creating reliable operating systems for lifting, pressing, and positioning components.

Features of low profile cylinders

Low-design hydraulic cylinders stand out with a range of advantages that determine their popularity: low installation height – ideal for working in limited space, high operating pressure (up to 700 bar), allowing for high forces despite small sizes, durable steel or chrome construction – resistant to corrosion and damage, ease of installation – often equipped with mounting holes and sockets for fastening, reliability – adapted for intensive work in difficult industrial conditions. In the case of Enerpac cylinders, the RSM series offers a lifting capacity from several to over 150 tons, at a height of just a few dozen millimeters, making them one of the most compact solutions in their class.

Small RSM series hydraulic cylinders

Small RSM series hydraulic cylinders from Enerpac are compact, high-performance actuators used in precision operations requiring high force in limited workspace. In power hydraulics, these types of cylinders are indispensable wherever standard solutions do not fit or do not provide adequate accuracy. Thanks to their design, they allow for the generation of high pressures with small dimensions, making them an ideal solution for service and assembly work, as well as industrial applications. The RSM series was designed for operation in difficult conditions, where not only force but also reliability and safety count. The low design height allows cylinders to be used in places with limited space, e.g., under steel structures, in industrial machines, or during renovation work. Combined with a properly selected hydraulic pump and elements such as hydraulic fittings and hydraulic hoses, they create an efficient and precise operating system. In practice, small Enerpac RSM hydraulic cylinders find application in many industries, such as construction, energy, heavy industry, or power hydraulics services. They are used, among others, for lifting structural elements, positioning machines, repairs, and assembly work. Their compact design significantly facilitates transport and handling, which translates into work efficiency in the field and workshops. An important feature of low profile cylinders is their high resistance to overload and durability resulting from the use of high-quality materials. Precisely manufactured sealing elements and a housing resistant to mechanical damage ensure long life even under intensive use. This is why Enerpac solutions are often chosen by professionals who expect reliability in every situation. Choosing the right hydraulic cylinder should take into account parameters such as pressing force, stroke, operating pressure, and working conditions. Hydron's offer includes various variants of Enerpac cylinders, allowing for a solution perfectly matched to a specific application. Combined with a wide range of hydraulic installation elements and technical support at every stage of the order, it is possible to create a complete and reliable hydraulic system tailored to individual user needs.
