Product Description

Single Rod Plunger Cylinder: Reliable Performance in Compact Spaces

Single Rod Plunger Cylinder is a hydraulic actuator featuring a solid plunger instead of a conventional piston. Designed for simplicity and efficiency, it delivers linear motion through direct fluid pressure on the plunger’s base.

Unlike piston-type cylinders, it does not contain internal seals between bore and piston, allowing higher pressure resistance and better performance in short stroke operations. This makes it an ideal solution for lifting, pushing, or pressing functions where space is limited.

The Single Rod Hydraulic Plunger Cylinder is commonly used in presses, injection molding machines, lifting tables, and agricultural equipment. When equipped with a built-in spring return mechanism, it also serves as a Spring Return Plunger Cylinder Single Rod, enabling quick retraction without hydraulic power.

Why Choose a Single Rod Plunger Cylinder?

  • Compact and Simple Design
    Fewer internal components reduce maintenance and increase durability. Perfect for confined spaces.

  • High Force Output
    With direct fluid contact on the rod base, these cylinders deliver excellent force for short strokes.

  • Spring Return Optional
    Spring Return Plunger Cylinder Single Rod options offer auto-retraction for emergency or rapid return needs.

  • Reliable Under High Pressure
    As a Single Rod Hydraulic Plunger Cylinder, it handles pressures up to 350 bar with no piston seal failures.

  • Customizable for Any Machine
    Whether for OEM use or special application, a Custom Single Rod Plunger Cylinder can be designed to meet specific dimensional or functional requirements.

FAQ

FAQs
  • What is the main benefit of a Single Rod Plunger Cylinder over standard cylinders?
    Created with Sketch.
    形状 Created with Sketch.
    It eliminates the piston and internal seals, resulting in a simpler structure, higher pressure capability, and better performance in short-stroke applications.
  • Can this cylinder be used with a return spring?
    Created with Sketch.
    形状 Created with Sketch.
    Yes. It is available as a Spring Return Plunger Cylinder Single Rod, where a built-in spring automatically retracts the rod after pressure release.
  • What applications are best suited for this type of cylinder?
    Created with Sketch.
    形状 Created with Sketch.
    Presses, clamps, die holders, jacks, and any high-force, short-motion systems—especially where simplicity and reliability are key.
  • Is it possible to customize this cylinder for my machine?
    Created with Sketch.
    形状 Created with Sketch.
    Absolutely. Stroke length, rod diameter, thread type, mounting style, and pressure rating can be tailored. We offer Custom Single Rod Plunger Cylinder solutions for OEMs and integrators.
  • How does its pressure rating compare with traditional hydraulic cylinders?
    Created with Sketch.
    形状 Created with Sketch.
    Because it lacks piston seals, the Single Rod Hydraulic Plunger Cylinder typically handles higher pressures—up to 350 bar—making it suitable for demanding environments.
