Single Rod Plunger Cylinder
The Single Rod Plunger Cylinder is a specialized type of hydraulic cylinder designed for applications requiring strong linear pushing or lifting force. Unlike piston-type cylinders, the Single Rod Plunger Cylinder operates with a plunger rod moving directly inside the cylinder barrel, without the need for an internal piston. This design makes it simple, durable, and cost-effective, especially for heavy-duty vertical load lifting.
Constructed from seamless honed tubes and induction-hardened chrome-plated rods, the Single Rod Plunger Cylinder offers excellent wear resistance, high load capacity, and long service life. It is widely used in lifting platforms, hydraulic presses, metallurgical machinery, and construction equipment. With fewer components and robust design, it reduces maintenance needs and ensures maximum reliability for distributors, stockists, and engineering contractors.
