However, rather than produce the two major categories: single and double acting, our focus is on providing our customers with a high-quality single acting hydraulic cylinder.

The Single Acting Hydraulic Cylinder

A hydraulic cylinder is a mechanical actuator. It executes a force in a single direction by employing a one-way directed stroke. At its most basic, a single acting hydraulic cylinder consists of a piston operating with a rod insider a cylinder to produce the desired motion. While companies offer different methods to produce an effective single acting or telescopic cylinder, we offer welded rod cylinders.

  • Cylinder
  • Piston
  • Gland – guides the rod
  • Cylinder Rod
  • Barrel
  • Seals – including a piston seal to retain the fluid in one direction and various gland and rod seals
  • Piston Wear Ring

Such single acting hydraulic cylinders are cost-effective, simple in design and effective in a wide array of applications. They dominate where lifting and pressing devices require such singular actions.
