Standard Single Acting Hydraulic Cylinders for Tractors & Agricultural Machinery
Standard Single Acting Hydraulic Cylinders
This collection includes standard single acting hydraulic cylinders designed for lifting, tipping, and pushing applications where hydraulic force is required in one direction only. These cylinders are widely used in tractors, tipping trailers, agricultural machinery, and industrial equipment.
Single acting hydraulic cylinders operate by applying hydraulic pressure to extend the piston rod, while retraction occurs through gravity, load weight, or an internal spring. This simple operating principle makes them a reliable and efficient solution for many hydraulic systems.
Typical Applications
Standard single acting hydraulic cylinders are commonly used in systems where controlled lifting or tipping is required and active retraction is not necessary.
- Tractors and agricultural machinery for lifting and tipping functions
- Tipping trailers and dump bodies
- Agricultural implements with gravity-assisted return
- Industrial and mobile hydraulic applications with simple motion requirements
How Single Acting Cylinders Work
A single acting hydraulic cylinder uses oil pressure to move the piston rod in one direction only. When pressure is released, the piston rod returns automatically by gravity, load force, or spring action. This reduces system complexity and limits the number of hydraulic connections required.
Construction and Reliability
All standard single acting hydraulic cylinders are manufactured from durable steel and equipped with chrome-plated piston rods to reduce wear and corrosion. High-quality sealing systems ensure leak-free operation and long service life in agricultural and industrial environments.
Select the Correct Single Acting Hydraulic Cylinder
Select the appropriate cylinder based on bore size, stroke length, mounting configuration, and operating conditions. Each product page provides detailed technical specifications to ensure correct selection and safe operation.
