Why use a double-acting cylinder?

Release Time :

2025-01-24

One of the advantages of double-acting cylinders is their ability to make precise and controlled movements in both directions. They are also well suited for applications that require high forces and fast movements, such as milling machines or lathes.

Some of the benefits you can gain from using double-acting cylinders include:

You can take advantage of push and pull hydraulics.

You can perform repetitive operations more easily.

They can achieve faster retractions.

They provide more precise control over the desired functions

Double-acting cylinders have two ports, one on each side of the piston. They can precisely control extension and retraction by controlling the flow of hydraulic fluid into either port. Fluid into one port pushes the piston out, while fluid into the other retracts it.

The ability of double-acting cylinders to control fluid flow in both directions allows for precise control of speed and force during extension and retraction.

Double-acting cylinders are suitable for a variety of applications that require both push and pull actions.
