A single-stage hydraulic cylinder is a linear actuator designed to provide powerful, reliable motion using hydraulic pressure in a compact, single-stroke configuration. Compared with telescopic cylinders, single-stage cylinders deliver higher structural strength, better sealing performance, and longer service life, making them ideal for heavy-duty industrial and mobile equipment.
As a professional single-stage hydraulic cylinder manufacturer, we provide custom-engineered solutions for construction machinery, material handling systems, agricultural equipment, and industrial automation.
A single-stage hydraulic cylinder consists of one piston and one cylinder barrel, enabling linear motion in either single-acting or double-acting configurations.
Single piston, single stroke
High load-bearing capacity
Simple structure with low maintenance
Excellent sealing reliability
Suitable for high-pressure hydraulic systems
Unlike multi-stage or telescopic cylinders, single-stage designs prioritize strength, stability, and precision.
Hydraulic pressure extends the piston
Return via gravity or spring
Ideal for lifting, tipping, and pressing applications
Hydraulic pressure controls both extension and retraction
Greater precision and control
Commonly used in industrial automation and mobile equipment
Single-stage hydraulic cylinders are widely used across multiple industries due to their robustness and reliability.
Construction machinery (excavators, loaders, cranes)
Agricultural equipment (harvesters, plows, balers)
Industrial presses and forming machines
Material handling systems
Waste management and recycling equipment
Mining and heavy-duty machinery
Manufactured from high-strength alloy steel, our cylinders are built for long-term operation under extreme pressure and load conditions.
CNC machining, honed cylinder tubes, and precision-ground piston rods ensure smooth motion and minimal internal leakage.
We offer OEM and ODM services, including:
Custom dimensions
Specialized mounting styles
Application-specific sealing systems
Corrosion-resistant coatings
Each hydraulic cylinder undergoes:
Pressure testing
Seal integrity inspection
Dimensional verification
Surface finish inspection
