Double and Single Acting Cylinders

Double and Single Acting Cylinders

We have a standard range of single acting hydraulic cylinders and double acting hydraulic cylinders in stock, which can be supplied to you on a next day delivery service.

We have created a limited range of hydraulic cylinders in a basic design that can be used for a wide range of applications.

We currently have three different bore and rod combinations in various different lengths (see below for further details). This range was developed and stocked to enable WCE to provide a very quick turnaround offering a next day delivery service. These cylinders can also be used as a single acting cylinder BUT the port that is not in use must be fitted with a vented breather.

Standard Features throughout the range.
  • Double or single acting
  • Pin mounted at both ends
  • Provision for grease nipples at both ends (76.2mm bore x 44.45mm rod design only)
  • Headed gland nuts for reducing servicing downtime
  • High quality medium duty sealing system throughout
