The difference between single-acting and double-acting hydraulic cylinders
1. What are the specific differences between single acting and double acting cylinders?
Single-acting cylinders and double-acting cylinders, they are all hydraulic cylinders. However, although the names are similar, there are specific differences, mainly in:
The single-acting hydraulic cylinder is realized by hydraulic pressure in one direction, but the return depends on its own weight or some external force. Moreover, one end is in contact with air. The double-acting hydraulic cylinder has hydraulic oil in its two chambers. Therefore, its movements in both directions are realized by hydraulic oil.
2. What can we know from the definition of hydraulic cylinders?
The definition of hydraulic cylinder: an executive element that achieves the purpose of use through linear motion and its corresponding moving parts. However, there are certain limits and scopes for linear displacement. Therefore, it can be used for linear pushing. However, if the pushing displacement is relatively large, multiple cylinders can be used in combination to meet the requirements of use.
