While there are numerous hydraulic cylinder types available, each with its own unique benefits, double-acting cylinder technology is essential for load-bearing equipment because of its ability to handle heavier tonnage, as well as its superior control, precision, and accuracy.
Find out more from Aurelius Manufacturing about why double acting cylinder technology is necessary for load-bearing equipment.
Benefits of Double Acting Cylinder Technology on Load-Bearing Equipment
Utilizing double acting cylinders leads to a boost in equipment performance, with these key benefits.
Bidirectional Force
Double acting cylinder technology allows for hydraulic pressure on both sides of the piston, enacting a push and pull.
Full Precision and Control
Because of the bidirectional force, double acting cylinder technology allows for more precision and control during movements.
Consistency
Compared to single acting cylinders, double acting cylinders deliver higher consistency with positioning, movement, and controlled lowering.
Increased Performance and Power
Double acting cylinder technology allows for increased tonnage in loads and is optimized for better performance.
Where Double Acting Cylinder Technology Becomes Necessary
Due to the benefits provided by double acting cylinders, they’ve become an essential part of equipment in a wide range of industries.
Heavy-Duty Applications
Presses, lifts, cranes, and earthmovers need double acting cylinders for their bidirectional allowances.
High Cycling
Where repetitive motion and high-speed cycles occur, double acting cylinders are the best solution for performance and safety.
Precision Demands
Double acting cylinders provide positional accuracy, system responsiveness, and smooth operation.
Common Applications of Double Acting Cylinders
Aerospace
Machines and equipment that are used for aircraft control, cargo handling, or lifting systems use double acting cylinders to handle heavy materials.
Construction
The construction industry utilizes double acting cylinders in heavy machinery like excavators, bulldozers, cranes, and dump trucks.
Agriculture
Double acting hydraulic cylinders are found throughout common agricultural applications, such as tractors, plows, harvesters, and loaders that require lifting mechanics.
Industrial Automation
Double acting hydraulic cylinders can be seen in applications where bidirectional motion is needed, such as in hydraulic presses and injection molding machines.
