Selecting the Right Telescopic Hydraulic Cylinder for Your Job
Single-Acting vs. Double Acting Telescopic Cylinders
Two main types of telescopic cylinders are available for purchase: single-acting and double-acting. While both use a multistage design to achieve an extended reach, they have a few key differences and are not interchangeable.
- Single-acting telescopic cylinders apply hydraulic pressure to extend and utilize gravity, load weight, or other factors to retract. They are used in dump trailers and similar machinery.
- Double-acting telescopic cylinders apply hydraulic force to extend and retract, making them ideal for applications requiring precision and control. They are used in many kinds of industrial and mobile equipment.
Multistage Cylinder Replacements Pack Powerful Performances
Similar to welded rod cylinders, telescopic cylinders use a barrel and rod to complete operations. Telescopic cylinders, however, also include two or more nested tubes, called stages. Each stage’s diameter reduces from the outer barrel. This design allows telescopic hydraulic cylinders to achieve excellent reach with a small retracted form. Stage options include:
- 2-Stage Telescopic Cylinders
- 3-Stage Telescopic Cylinders
- 4-Stage Telescopic Cylinders
- 5-Stage Telescopic Cylinders
Most telescopic hydraulic cylinders max out at six stages as stability becomes increasingly compromised with each added stage. Call 888-771-1894 to learn more.
