A Power Team’s single-acting cylinder is a hydraulic cylinder designed to exert force in one direction only, typically for lifting, pushing, or positioning applications. This type of cylinder uses hydraulic fluid pressure to extend the piston rod out of the cylinder body, performing work such as lifting a load or pressing an object. The retraction of the piston rod occurs either by gravity, an external force, or a spring mechanism inside the cylinder, rather than hydraulic pressure.
Key characteristics of Power Team’s single-acting cylinders include:
Hydraulic Power: These cylinders are powered by hydraulic fluid, which provides the necessary force to extend the piston rod.
Durability: Engineered with high-quality materials, these cylinders are built to withstand demanding industrial conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability.
Precision: Designed for accuracy and control, single-acting cylinders can perform precise movements, making them suitable for tasks that require careful positioning.
Safety and Efficiency: These cylinders help enhance safety and efficiency in various applications by providing controlled force and movement, reducing the risk of accidents and improving productivity.
Power Team, a well-known manufacturer of hydraulic equipment, produces single-acting cylinders for use in a wide range of industrial applications, including manufacturing, construction, automotive repair, and more.
