A double-acting hydraulic cylinder has a port at each end, supplied with hydraulic fluid for both the retraction and extension of the piston. A double-acting cylinder is used where an external force is not available to retract the piston or it can be used where high force is required in both directions of travel.

The working principle of single-acting cylinders are to transfer hydraulic fluids or an output force in one direction only. Within the cylinder, the piston rod can push outwards but cannot pull back, therefore requiring a force in the opposite direction to return the rod back to its original position.

O-rings are used to seal all kinds of devices to keep them operating and safe. They do so by keeping necessary fluids in hydraulic systems and unwanted fluids and contaminants out.

Hydraulic seals are gasket-like rings that are designed to seal areas between the components in a hydraulic cylinder. Hydraulic cylinders contain many different components, some of which are exposed to the fluid. To prevent fluid from leaking around these components, hydraulic seals are used. Hydraulic seals are designed to fit the components in a hydraulic cylinder while creating a leak-proof seal around them.

A hydraulic hose conveys hydraulic fluid to or between hydraulic components. Components include valves, tools, and actuators. Hydraulic hose is usually flexible and reinforced. The hose is often made up of several layers of reinforcement.

A hydraulic power unit utilizes fluid to transmit power from one place to another and it is used to apply hydraulic pressure to power the hydraulic motors. Power packs are often used for heavy lifting applications or anything that requires strong, directional force. They are mainly used for industrial applications. Such hydraulic power packs create huge power and high flow rates. They can handle heavy loads for a long period.

DC Hydraulic mini power packs which cover 12volt / 24volt DC, with a flow range from 1cc to 5 cc. We supply DC Power packs with temperature protector and multiple options of valve configuration that suit the applications.

Mill – Type are cylinders designed to fill a need for a more durable, more reliable product to reduce down-time and maintenance costs.

Telescopic cylinders are used when an application requires a compact retracted dimension, but needs a longer stroke. These cylinders are generally single acting and are available in two to five stages. Common mounting options for telescopic cylinders are trunnion and cross-tube.
