Single Acting Air Cylinder

Compact and easy to install for clamping holding and riveting applications.

Single acting air cylinder.

A single acting cylinder is one where the thrust or output force is developed in only one direction. The piston is returned by a fitted spring or by some other external means such as a weight mechanical movement gravity or an external spring. Cost effective and labor saving air cylinders convert energy into motion using compressed air. The compressed air savings on a high cycle cylinder applications can be huge.

A host of air cylinders are available including single acting and long stroke pneumatic cylinders air actuators double acting pneumatic cylinders pneumatic pistons and rodless cylinders. A single acting air cylinder only uses compressed air to move the piston and rod in one direction. Once air is cleaned and compressed it enters through the single port forcing the piston to extend in one direction compressing the spring. Pneumatic telescoping cylinder 8 stages single acting retracted and extended telescoping cylinders also known as telescopic cylinders can be either single or double acting.

The vb actuator is a single acting pneumatic clamp cylinder with built in oleo pneumatic intensifier producing a force up to 2100 dan. Single acting stainless steel round non repairable air cylinder nose mount for use in applications where a magnetic sensing piston is not required these cylinders can withstand a wide range of operating environments tolerating moisture and many types of lubricants and solvents. A single acting pneumatic cylinder has one compressed air port to push the rod in a single direction and a spring operation to return the rod. The double acting air cylinder uses compressed air to both extend and retract the cylinder rod even if there is no load in one direction.

Body air cylinders more basic and cost effective than double acting cylinders these single acting cylinders exert force in one direction and have a spring to return the rod to its original position.

The telescoping cylinder incorporates a piston rod nested within a series of hollow stages of increasing diameter. A spring or a load is usually fitted to the piston.
