Double acting hydraulic cylinders are linear actuators that use hydraulic fluid pressure to generate force and motion in both directions.
Thanks to their ability to produce force in both directions, double-acting hydraulic pistons are suitable for a wide range of applications. Hydraulic pressure can be alternately applied to both sides of the piston, enabling the extension and retraction of the double-acting cylinder with controlled force. This precise control of movement and position makes double-acting hydraulic pistons ideal for applications requiring accurate adjustment.

DOUBLE-ACTING HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS
Double-Acting Standard Cylinders
Hydraulic cylinders with pressure chambers on both sides of the piston,
allowing controlled movement in both directions. Widely used across various industries.
Double-Rod Cylinders
These are a type of double-acting cylinder, providing balanced movement
with the same working area on both sides of the piston.
As a result, the force applied is identical in both directions
Tandem Cylinders
Versatile and powerful double acting hydraulic cylinders.
Tandem cylinders are essential for applications requiring high force and precision in limited spaces which is achieved by connecting two or more hydraulic cylinders in series
Hydraulic Cylinders ISO 6020/1 and ISO 6022
Hydraulic cylinders designed according to international standards that ensure interchangeability between cylinders from different manufacturers. ISO 6020/1 cylinders are more commonly used in light to medium applications, while ISO 6022 cylinders are designed for heavy-duty and demanding industrial applications
Applications
Construction Sector: double-acting hydraulic cylinders are used in earthmoving machines such as excavators, loaders, and drilling rigs. They are also found in demolition shears. Additionally, they provide the force required to extend and retract the lifting arms of cranes and telehandlers, ensuring the safe and precise handling of heavy loads.
Industrial Machines: double-acting cylinders are used in various types of hydraulic presses, such as filter presses and sheet metal bending presses, to provide the precise and controlled movements required for cutting, bending, and compacting operations.
Transport Sector: the double-acting hydraulic piston is used in commercial vehicles for lifting and lowering loading platforms.
Mining Sector: double-acting hydraulic cylinders are used in equipment such as drills and boring machines to provide the necessary force for excavation and extraction operations. They are also employed in crushers and mills, where double-acting cylinders supply the required force for crushing and grinding minerals.
Energy Sector: double-acting hydraulic cylinders are used to control the movement of oil rigs and drilling equipment, as well as to operate the gates of hydroelectric plants.
Aerospace Sector: double-acting hydraulic cylinders are used to control flight control surfaces such as ailerons, rudders, and flaps, ensuring precise flight control. They are also used in landing gear systems, providing the necessary motion for the deployment and retraction of the landing gear during takeoff and landing operations. Additionally, they are employed in cargo handling systems for lifting and lowering loading ramps and platforms for the movement of goods.
