Double Acting Hydraulic Cylinder Overview

Double acting hydraulic cylinders use pressure on both sides of the piston to generate push and pull force. This design gives smooth control, strong load handling, and accurate positioning for mobile equipment and industrial machines that need reliable forward and return strokes.
In a double acting hydraulic cylinder, oil is alternately directed into the cap end and the rod end. This allows the cylinder to extend and retract under power instead of relying on gravity or external loads.

The design is suitable for excavators, trailers, loaders, garbage trucks, industrial presses, and many other systems where controlled movement in both directions is required.

How a Double Acting Hydraulic Cylinder Works

A double acting hydraulic cylinder has two working chambers: the cap end and the rod end. Directional valves send pressurized oil to one chamber while returning oil from the other, so the piston moves forward and backward under full control.

    A double acting hydraulic cylinder has two working chambers: the cap end and the rod end. Directional valves send pressurized oil to one chamber while returning oil from the other, so the piston moves forward and backward under full control.

  • 1
    Cap end pressurized: Oil enters the cap end port. Pressure builds behind the piston and pushes it toward the rod end. The double acting cylinder extends and drives the machine component.
  • 2
    Rod end return flow: As the piston moves, oil from the rod end chamber returns to tank through the directional valve. The system stays closed and controlled during the full stroke.
  • 3
    Rod end pressurized: When the valve shifts, oil now enters the rod end. The piston is pulled back toward the cap end, and the double acting cylinder retracts under pressure.
  • 4
    Balanced control: Because both directions are powered, the machine can hold position, move slowly, or cycle quickly depending on flow rate and pressure settings in the hydraulic circuit.

Mounting Options

Correct mounting helps a double acting hydraulic cylinder run smoothly and reduce side load on the rod and seals. TOPA offers standard and custom mounting types that match the frame and motion of your hydraulic system.

  • Clevis Mount
    Used on many mobile machines. Allows angular movement and reduces stress when the load path changes slightly during each stroke of the double acting cylinder.
  • Trunnion Mount
    Trunnions are placed near the cylinder center of gravity. Common on long stroke double acting cylinders and presses where the cylinder needs to pivot freely.
  • Flange Mount
    Front or rear flange mounting gives strong support and accurate alignment for industrial double acting cylinders on fixed machines.
  • Foot Mount
    Foot or lug mounts fix the cylinder body to the base frame. Often used on hydraulic power units, presses, and compact double acting cylinders.
  • Custom Mounting
    Special mounting plates, spherical bearings, and interface blocks can be designed to match your machine layout and reduce misalignment.

Double Acting Hydraulic Cylinder FAQ

Here are some common questions buyers ask before working with a new double acting hydraulic cylinders manufacturer.

Double acting cylinders generate force in both directions, making them suitable for equipment requiring powered extension and retraction. You can choose bore, rod, stroke, mounting, and pressure level according to your machine’s load, cycle speed, and working environment.

We provide sample or pilot double acting cylinders based on your drawing or a reference sample. You test them on your equipment, then we adjust seals, tolerances, or mounting details according to your feedback before moving into batch production.

Standard TOPA double acting hydraulic cylinders support working pressures up to 250 bar. For mining, industrial presses, or heavy construction machinery, we can design thicker tubes, stronger rods, and upgraded seals to handle higher pressure and shock loads.

Seal selection depends on pressure, temperature, oil type, and cycle speed. We can supply seal kits from Hallite, Parker, SKF, and other brands. For dusty or abrasive environments, we recommend heavy-duty wipers, extra rod protection, and high-temperature or low-temperature seal materials.

Yes. Many customers send us a damaged or worn cylinder from an old or imported machine. We measure it, check the mounting and ports, and then produce a matching or improved double acting cylinder. Non-standard port threads or special mounting types can also be reproduced.

Service life depends on load, pressure stability, and maintenance. With correct seal selection, honed tubes, proper filtration, and regular inspection, double acting cylinders can run for thousands of cycles. For harsh duty, we can recommend stronger rods, better coatings, and upgraded seals to extend lifetime.
