Single-acting pumps power extension only, while double-acting pumps provide pressure for both extension and retraction.

Single-acting electric pumps are designed to extend a cylinder under pressure, while the return stroke happens through spring return or load release. Double-acting electric pumps provide hydraulic pressure to both extend and retract the cylinder, allowing greater control and improved performance in many industrial applications. Double-acting pumps are often required for synchronized lifting systems, positioning operations, and any application where controlled retraction is necessary. Hydraulic Rentals can help determine the correct pump type based on your equipment.
