A single-acting cylinder is a type of pneumatic actuator that uses the pressure of compressed air to move a piston in one direction. The piston is returned to its original position by an external force, such as a spring or gravity. A single-acting cylinder consists of a cylinder barrel, an end cap, a piston, and a piston rod. Single-acting cylinders are commonly used in applications where the load is moved in one direction only. They are also used in applications where space is limited, as they require less space than double-acting cylinders.
Y&J's single-acting cylinder is mostly used as the actuator for knife gate valves, and the cylinder can be manufactured based on customized requests to meet a variety of specifications.
