The Difference in Our Single Acting Hydraulic Cylinders

With some parts and components of equipment and machinery, the risk of failure is very low, which means spending a lot of time finding the right manufacturer is not time well spent.

For other parts, such as hydraulic cylinders, the quality, durability, maintenance requirements and the life cycle expectancy is critical. When a hydraulic cylinder fails, the equipment, machine or system is not going to work, meaning lost revenue for the days or weeks it takes to find a replacement.

At SHC, Inc., we have been in the business of engineering and manufacturing custom single acting hydraulic cylinders since 1989. With that experience and level of expertise, we are able to work closely with your engineers, mechanics and with Original Equipment Manufacturers to customize the ideal single acting cylinder for your needs.

Quality Control with In-House Capabilities

From designing the cylinder by our engineers to your approval and then throughout production, we focus on quality control. We also have our own precision CNC machining shop, so we manufacture everything in-house without having to subcontract or outsource work.

We also have our own in-house wash and paint line. This allows us to provide OEMs and those needing individual orders with the single acting hydraulic cylinders ready for installation.

Fast Turnaround Times from Order to Delivery

We know our customers need their replacement or new single acting hydraulic cylinders as quickly as possible. Once we are able to get approval on the drawing from your team, we can typically complete a custom order within four weeks.

For OEMs and for individual orders, we also carry a top selection of standard cylinders already manufactured. These are ready for immediate shipment, which makes them the ideal option for many of our customers.

Options To Consider In A Single Acting Cylinder

At SHC, Inc. one of our manufacturing specialties is single acting cylinder options for all types of applications. This includes small cylinders for machinery, engines and automated systems through to large cylinders for industrial equipment, heavy duty construction vehicles and other types of applications.

There are still many different options in a single acting cylinder in addition to the size. These different factors will impact the suitability of a particular cylinder to a given operation or application. Often, we find that the current cylinder in use may not be the optimal size or option for the job, which is when our engineers can work with you to ensure the correct replacement cylinder is designed and manufactured to meet the specifications of your application.

The Benefits of Single Acting Cylinders

All types of single acting cylinders use one port to push, thrust and provide the force to move the piston in one direction. Returning the piston is completed through the weight on the piston as the hydraulic pressure is reduced.

We produce welded single acting cylinder designs. This means that the cap on the base end of the cylinder is welded to the body while the head (or gland) is threaded in for superior rebuild abilities. This is very different than a tie-rod configuration where four or more rods run up the length of the cylinder and bolt to collars at the caps to hold the hydraulic cylinder together.

The use of the single port and hose configuration and the welded body on the single acting cylinder creates a streamlined, easy to install cylinder that doesn’t compromise on thrust power or operator control over the movement of the cylinder.

With our experience in working across all industries as well as our ability to solve challenges in finding the ideal hydraulic cylinder for new and retrofit types of applications, we can solve problems other cylinder manufacturers simply can’t.
