Single-Acting Hydraulic Cylinders
Simple, Reliable Power for Controlled Motion
Single-acting hydraulic cylinders are among the most straightforward and widely used hydraulic actuators. They operate by applying hydraulic fluid to a port in the closed end of the cylinder, which forces the shaft to extend until the piston or collar reaches the end of its stroke. Retraction occurs when an external force or load, such as gravity or mechanical weight, pushes the shaft back into the chamber.
