Single Action Hydraulic Cylinder
Single Action Hydraulic Cylinder 19 A common actuating component in hydraulic systems that uses hydraulic fluid supplied through one oil port only to drive the piston for unidirectional movement (e.g., extension or retraction). Its reverse reset (return to the original position) relies on external forces, such as spring force, load gravity, or mechanical return mechanisms. Key Features Simple structure: Only one oil inlet/outlet is required, resulting in a smaller size and lighter weight compared to double-acting hydraulic cylinders. Lower cost and more convenient maintenance. Output force acts in only one direction; reset force depends on external loads or auxiliary mechanisms. Typical Applications Lifting equipment: Hydraulic jacks, crane telescopic arm drives. Clamping/positioning devices: Machine tool fixtures, tooling positioning mechanisms. Mining/construction machinery: Mine drill rod propulsion mechanisms, loader bucket tilt drives. Simple reciprocating mechan...
