Harsha Engineers
Hydraulics is the branch of engineering that uses pressurized fluid to generate motion and power. At Harsha Engineers India, our Single Acting Cylinders are designed to deliver powerful linear motion in one direction, making them ideal for lifting, clamping, and pressing applications where controlled force is required.

One-Way Operation – Hydraulic pressure extends the piston, while retraction is by spring or external load.
Compact & Simple Design – Easy to install and operate.
High Force Output – Provides strong linear force for lifting and pressing.
Durable Construction – Built with high-quality materials for long service life.
Cost-Effective Solution – Economical choice for single-direction force applications.
Custom-Built Options – Designed to meet specific stroke lengths and force requirements.
Industrial Machinery – For clamping, pressing, and positioning operations.
Automotive Industry – Lifting jacks and presses.
Construction Equipment – Simple lifting mechanisms and dump trailers.
Material Handling – Used in hydraulic lifts and handling devices.
Agricultural Machinery – Implements and lifting tools.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is the main difference between single and double acting cylinders?
Single acting cylinders use hydraulic pressure in one direction only, while double acting cylinders provide force in both directions.
Q2: What industries use single acting cylinders?
They are commonly used in automotive, construction, material handling, agricultural, and industrial machinery.
Q3: Can Harsha Engineers India customize single acting cylinders?
Yes, we design custom-built cylinders based on bore size, stroke length, pressure capacity, and mounting options.
Q4: Are single acting cylinders durable?
Absolutely. We use high-grade materials and seals to ensure long-lasting performance.
Q5: Where are single acting cylinders most effective?
They are most effective in lifting, clamping, and pressing applications where force is only required in one direction.
