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.

Compact design


Ideal for limited-space applications requiring strong linear force.


Customizable options


Available in different diameters, strokes, and mounting styles.


Leak-resistant seals


Advanced sealing systems minimize hydraulic fluid leakage.


Long service life


Optimized surface finish ensures smooth operation and reduced wear.


Production Process of Single Rod Plunger Cylinder

The Single Rod Plunger Cylinder is produced through a precise and standardized manufacturing process to ensure performance and durability:

  1. Material Selection

    High-grade steels such as ST52, CK45, or 42CrMo4 are used.

  2. Tube Processing

    Cylinder barrels are honed to Ra ≤ 0.2 μm for optimal sealing.

  3. Rod Processing

    Plunger rods are machined, induction-hardened, and chrome-plated.

  4. Machining & Turning

    CNC machining ensures accurate dimensions and tolerances.

  5. Welding & End Fittings

    Structural welding guarantees high mechanical strength.

  6. Seal Installation

    Imported seals (Parker, Hallite, NOK) provide durability and leak protection.

  7. Hydraulic Testing

    Each cylinder is tested under rated and overload pressures.

  8. Surface Treatment

    Painting, phosphating, or powder coating enhances corrosion resistance.

  9. Final Inspection

    Dimensional, surface roughness, and hardness checks are performed before delivery.
