Product Description

Double Acting Plunger Cylinder: Built for Balanced Force and Continuous Operation

Double Acting Plunger Cylinder is a hydraulic actuator that applies pressure on both sides of the plunger to create force in both directions—extension and retraction. Unlike single acting types, it does not rely on gravity or a spring for return motion, enabling faster and more consistent cycles.

This cylinder is particularly effective in high-pressure applications requiring controlled motion in both directions, such as forging presses, automated equipment, material loaders, or clamping systems. The design features a solid plunger without an internal piston, making it more robust and better suited for short-stroke, high-force tasks.

Whether you’re comparing Double Acting vs Single Acting Plunger Cylinder, the dual-action model offers greater operational flexibility, energy efficiency, and precision—especially in continuous-use industrial environments.

As demand grows for durable, high-efficiency hydraulic actuators, the Double Acting Plunger Hydraulic Cylinder Price remains competitive when factoring in lifecycle value, customization, and reliability under extreme pressure.

Why Choose a Double Acting Plunger Cylinder?

  • Bidirectional Force
    Power is delivered in both extension and retraction strokes, ideal for synchronized and continuous movement.

  • Higher Efficiency
    No need for springs or external return force. Reduced energy waste and faster cycle time.

  • Robust Design for High Pressure
    As a Double Acting Plunger Cylinder High Pressure model, it resists seal blowouts and internal fatigue under constant 300+ bar operation.

  • Flexible Control
    Better suited than single acting models for applications requiring precision at both ends of the stroke.

  • Value-Driven
    Though typically higher in cost, the Double Acting Plunger Hydraulic Cylinder Price is offset by long-term performance, fewer downtimes, and longer service intervals.


Common Applications

  • Forging and metal-forming presses

  • Concrete or brick compression equipment

  • Agricultural and earth-moving actuators

  • Packaging and loading/unloading arms

  • Industrial production lines with synchronized strokes


Key Benefits at a Glance

  • True power-on-both-sides operation

  • Handles very high loads and short-stroke operations

  • Fewer internal components = longer life and less downtime

  • Fully customizable to meet any industrial mounting or size standard

  • Supported by leading hydraulic manufacturers with global supply


FAQ

FAQs
  • What makes a Double Acting Plunger Cylinder different from single acting models?
    Created with Sketch.
    形状 Created with Sketch.
    The main difference lies in motion control: double acting cylinders apply pressure in both directions, while single acting types use hydraulic pressure for one stroke and a spring or gravity for return. Double Acting vs Single Acting Plunger Cylinder comparison shows better control and speed with double acting units.
  • Is this cylinder suitable for continuous high-pressure operation?
    Created with Sketch.
    形状 Created with Sketch.
    Yes. It is engineered as a Double Acting Plunger Cylinder High Pressure model, rated up to 350 bar with robust seals and thick-walled tubes.
  • What’s the typical application for this type of hydraulic actuator?
    Created with Sketch.
    形状 Created with Sketch.
    Applications requiring force in both directions—such as presses, clamps, and automated handling—greatly benefit from this design.
  • Can I request a custom size or mount for my machine?
    Created with Sketch.
    形状 Created with Sketch.
    Absolutely. We offer Custom Double Acting Plunger Cylinders tailored to your bore, stroke, port type, thread, and mounting needs.
  • How does the price compare with standard cylinders?
    Created with Sketch.
    形状 Created with Sketch.
    While the Double Acting Plunger Hydraulic Cylinder Price is generally higher than a single acting version, the improved efficiency, lower maintenance, and greater control provide superior ROI over time.
