Single-Acting Cylinders

Single-Acting

Single-acting cylinders are suitable for applications where force is required in only one direction, as the return is achieved either by the load or with the help of springs. Advantages in such applications include:

• Simpler installation

• Lower installation cost, as only one hydraulic line is needed

• Less maintenance compared to double-acting systems

• Reliability in basic hydraulic applications

• Compatible with smaller tractors and machinery

• Easy replacement or upgrade
