New Enerpac XC2-Series Outperforms Predecessor

Enerpac said its new XC2-Series cordless hydraulic pumps offer higher speeds, longer battery run times, and greater oil capacity that allows larger tool and multiple cylinder applications to be undertaken on a single charge.

The XC2 pump is powered by a high-capacity 54-volt battery and matches the speed of a .37 kW electric pump with what the company said is the added benefit of cordless convenience, eliminating the need for extension cords and noisy and emission-producing generators. With the XC2 pump, managing cable trip risks are eliminated and environmental health and safety concerns are significantly reduced, according to Enerpac.

“The increases in speed, battery runtime, and oil capacity compared to the previous XC-Series is where the XC2-Series excels,” says Angie Wallace, global product manager, Enerpac.

More Projects on A Single Battery Charge

Enerpac said the XC2 pump’s brushless motor provides twice the life of brushed motors and high flow rates for increased productivity, allowing significant work completions on a single battery charge.

With a max operating pressure of 10,000 psi, the XC2 pump is available in either 3.5- or 7-pint oil capacity.  The 7-pint XC2 pump can be used with larger and multiple cylinders, including:

• Four 50-ton cylinders
• Two 75-ton cylinders
• Single 100-ton cylinder

XC2-Series manual valve models also include a variable speed trigger enabling greater control of tool or cylinder movement. The pump’s bladder reservoir design reduces the risk of contamination and allows pump use in any position; ideal for jobs where access and working space are limited.

The XC2 pumps are highly portable, according to the company, with weights ranging from 26 pounds to 37 pounds depending on valve function and oil capacity. They also include integrated steel rings to attach the accessory carry strap.

The XC2-Series fast battery charger minimizes downtime with a 1.5-hour charge cycle. An LED display provides charge status, over temperature, and damaged battery indication.

Heavy-Duty Pendant Controls

Heavy-duty pendants are used to operate any Enerpac XC2-Series pump. Enerpac said they are easy to connect or disconnect when not required and the pendants feature large buttons, an over-molded grip, a lanyard loop, and a hanger magnet. Multiple seals within the pendant provide IP64 environmental protection. When working in confined spaces where using any cord can be problematic, the pendant control is easily detached, and the pump is operated by the trigger.

Torque-Specific Model Available

For bolting applications, there is the XC-2 cordless torque wrench pump featuring an adjustable pressure relief valve which can be locked when the desired pressure is set. It can be used with a wide range of torque wrenches and features a 4-inch glycerine-filled pressure gauge for easy viewing and a 20-foot detachable pendant control.

Stay Connected Via Smartphone or Tablet

The Enerpac Connect app gives XC2-Series pump users a complete picture of the tool and its usage, both important factors in job safety and productivity. Using either a smartphone or tablet, XC2-Series owners can scan the QR code on the pump nameplate for instant access to product specifications, manuals, videos, job-specific usage data, and wireless firmware updates through smart enabled tool technology.

Enerpac 100-ton Lock-Grip Puller for Removing Large Shaft-Mounted Parts

Enerpac has unveiled its largest lock-grip puller system so far, the Enerpac LGH3100 synchronous lock grip system that delivers up to 100 tons of hydraulic force for pulling medium to large size wheels, sprockets, bearings, and other similar shaft-mounted parts. The puller’s self-centering closing "Lock-Grip" system moves all jaws simultaneously, allowing a single operator to safely handle removal of large wheels, bearings, and couplers with ease.            

The 3-jaw LGH3100 Lock-Grip Puller gives operators the ability to detach heavy and stubborn, large shaft-mounted components efficiently and without damage.

The 100-ton lock grip puller is mounted on an ergonomically designed rolling cart with a low center of gravity that minimizes the physical effort needed to position and operate the puller. The cart features large industrial castor wheels and pockets for use with a forklift. The hydraulic pulling power is provided by the onboard Enerpac ZE3-Series electric two-stage pump and remote operating control pendant.

Removed components are captured and held securely within the synchronous locking jaws. With a maximum reach of 48 inches, the smooth action, hydraulic scissor lift on the LGH3100 cart provides effortless center height adjustment from 27.5 to 66.1 inches. When both space and budgets are tight, the 3-jaw LG3100 is easily converted into a 2-jaw, 70-ton capacity configuration, avoiding the need to use valuable budget funds on a separate 2-jaw puller.
