How Do Double Acting Hydraulic Cylinders Work?Double Acting Hydraulic Cylinders are mainly composed of support, base, piston, cylinder, oil pipe and control valve. Between the bracket and the base, the function of lifting and supporting is realized through the up and down movement of the piston and the cylinder. Tubing and control valves are responsible for controlling the flow of fluid in and out and the size of the flow, so as to achieve the operation and control of the entire system. In general, the functions of Double Acting Hydraulic Cylinders are more diversified, and can be divided into one-way, two-way, horizontal, vertical and other different types according to actual needs.
The working principle of Double Acting Hydraulic Cylinders is relatively simple, which mainly uses the principle of fluid transferring pressure inside to achieve the function of lifting and supporting. When the lift is required, the flow in the tubing is regulated by a control valve, allowing the fluid to enter the bottom cylinder and push the piston upward, thereby lifting the support. On the contrary, the control valve needs to be switched to the opposite inlet, allowing the fluid to enter the top of the cylinder block, thus pushing the piston down and achieving the reduction of Hydraulic Cylinders. In most cases, this Double Acting Hydraulic Cylinders are convenient to operate, no special conditions are required, only the hydraulic oil can be circulated in the system.
