Single Acting

Single acting cylinders are a fundamental component in hydraulic systems, designed to exert force in one direction. These cylinders utilize hydraulic pressure to extend the piston, while retraction is typically achieved through a spring return or external force. This design is particularly suited for applications where the load is only required to move in a single direction, such as in lifting or clamping operations. Single acting cylinders offer a cost-effective solution with simplified design and lower maintenance requirements, making them ideal for straightforward, linear motion tasks.

The primary advantage of single acting cylinders is their efficiency and simplicity, which makes them suitable for a variety of applications including manufacturing equipment and material handling systems. Despite their straightforward operation, they provide reliable performance and can be customized to meet specific application needs, ensuring effective and efficient operation in various industrial settings.
