Hydraulic cylinder can be referred to as hydraulic cylinder, hydraulic system is the executive element. From the function point of view, the hydraulic cylinder is the pressure energy into mechanical energy conversion device. So how does a hydraulic cylinder work? According to the structure and working characteristics, the hydraulic cylinder can be divided into single action hydraulic cylinder, double action hydraulic cylinder, combination hydraulic cylinder, swing hydraulic cylinder and telescopic hydraulic cylinder. In general, we commonly used is the use of piston rod double - acting hydraulic cylinder. We also generally understand the principle of double acting hydraulic cylinders, so today we will look at the principle of single acting hydraulic cylinders. The so-called single action hydraulic cylinder, is that the pressure oil can only supply oil to one side of the piston chamber in the hydraulic cylinder, the oil pressure pushes the piston to move in one direction. When the motion is complete, the piston returns to its original position by its own weight or other factors. The double-acting hydraulic cylinder may supply oil to a cavity with or without a piston rod at one end. By changing the direction of the oil input, the oil pressure pushes the piston up and down or to the left and right. If you need hydraulic cylinder accessories, you are welcome to contact us in time
