Double acting hydraulic cylinder rentals provide hydraulic force in both the extension and retraction directions. Unlike single acting cylinders that rely on springs or external loads for return movement, double acting cylinders use hydraulic pressure to both extend and retract the piston.

This design provides greater control, faster operation, and improved performance for applications requiring powered movement in both directions. Double acting cylinders are commonly used in industrial maintenance, heavy lifting, manufacturing, construction, infrastructure projects, and specialized hydraulic systems.

Hydraulic Rentals supplies double acting hydraulic cylinder rentals throughout New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. For hydraulic cylinder recommendations and rental support, call 866-522-5464 and speak with a hydraulic equipment specialist.

📘 What Are Double Acting Hydraulic Cylinders?

Double acting hydraulic cylinders are hydraulic actuators that use hydraulic pressure on both sides of the piston.

Hydraulic fluid is directed to one side of the piston for extension and to the opposite side for retraction. This allows operators to maintain complete control throughout the entire movement cycle.

Because hydraulic power controls both directions of travel, double acting cylinders are often preferred for applications requiring precision movement, load control, positioning, and repetitive operation.
