Single Acting Hydraulic Cylinder: A Powerful Lifting Force

Hydraulic cylinders keep the world moving day in and day out… literally. Primarily used to produce linear motion and force in applications that transfer power, hydraulic cylinders are able to convert stored energy in hydraulic fluid into a force that can move the cylinder in a linear direction. You can find these mechanisms hard at work in construction equipment, engineering vehicles, and a host of manufacturing applications.

Customizing a Single Acting Hydraulic Cylinder

At Southern Hydraulic, we manufacture single acting hydraulic cylinders, and customize our products with a great deal of flexibility to meet the customer’s needs and specifications. Design and manufacturing capabilities range from cylinders as small as one-inch diameter to up to 12 inches in diameter. Lengths vary up to as long as 14 feet.

Single Acting Hydraulic Cylinder Applications

When high-cycle applications are required, hydraulic cylinders are just what you need. Keep in mind that any mechanism that achieves over 100,000 cycles a year is considered ‘high-cycle’. Examples include garage lifts, high-speed conveyor lines, and certain automated systems. Of course, the mechanism’s structural design has to be extremely robust, while making safety a high priority. Regardless of the need or application, Southern Hydraulic has a talented team of designers, welders, technicians, and engineers who can design and build the single acting hydraulic cylinder solution for any of your industrial needs.

Applications include, but are certainly not limited to, the following:

  • Heavy-duty road work and railroads where high-cycle applications are prevalent
  • Waste collection and excavation
  • Truck cranes
  • Material handling applications
