Double Acting Hydraulic Cylinder

The double acting hydraulic cylinder is powered by hydraulic pressure, acts on both sides of the piston, and provides force in both directions. Compared with the single acting hydraulic cylinder, it controls both extension and retraction more precisely. However, it also costs more.

We aim to control the cost and examine the quality rigorously, which saves your money and ensures you can get a pleasant shopping experience.

How to Choose the Double Acting Hydraulic Cylinder

When selecting a double-acting hydraulic cylinder, focus on these key points:

  • Bore Size: A wider bore creates more pushing and pulling force.
  • Rod Size: A thicker rod is stronger and resists bending under load.
  • Stroke Length: Match it to how far you need the rod to move in and out.
  • Pressure Rating: The cylinder must handle your system’s pressure, with a safe margin.
  • Seals & Fluid: Make sure the seals are suitable for the hydraulic fluid you use.
