4.0 DESCRIPTION
The Enerpac model EWCE55 is a fixed-head hydraulic
cutter designed to cut round metal ropes or cables.
The cutter contains two blades, one fixed and one
moving. The moving blade is actuated by an integral
double-acting hydraulic cylinder. The double-acting
design ensures positive blade return and also helps
prevent jamming or sticking.
Hydraulic force is provided by an AC powered electric
motor and an internal hydraulic pump. The pump provides
oil flow to the hydraulic cylinder, which advances and
retracts the cylinder piston and moving blade.
A hydraulic reservoir with built-in rubber diaphragm
provides a constant supply of oil to the pump, regardless
of tool orientation or the amount of piston extension.
A trigger style on-off switch, mounted on the cutter grip,
starts and stops the electric motor. The trigger must
remain pressed during the cutting process.
See Figure 1 for a description of cutter major features
and components. Refer to Sections 2.1 through
2.4 of this manual for maximum cutting capacities,
specifications and dimensions.
