The robust clevis mounting compensates for torsion and angular movements, which facilitates use in a wide variety of machines and systems. Whether in construction machinery, agricultural equipment, conveying systems or industrial applications – these cylinders impress with high load capacity, precise control, and long service life. In the Hydromot shop you will find models with piston diameters from 32 mm to 120 mm, stroke lengths of over 1000 mm and a thrust force of up to 22.6 tons.
Double-acting hydraulic cylinders with clevis – Frequently Asked Questions
What is a double-acting hydraulic cylinder with clevis?
A double-acting hydraulic cylinder with clevis is a key component in hydraulic systems that generates force in both directions (extension and retraction). Two separate chambers enable bidirectional control via hydraulic fluid. The clevis provides flexible mounting and compensates for torsion or angular movements, greatly facilitating installation and use.
How does a double-acting hydraulic cylinder work?
Double-acting hydraulic cylinders have two ports. When hydraulic oil flows into one chamber, the piston moves in one direction while fluid exits from the other chamber. To reverse (retraction), the flow is switched by a directional control valve. This ensures precise and controlled movements in both directions.
What materials are these cylinders made of and what sizes are available?
- Cylinder barrel & piston rod: high-quality steel, often coated for corrosion protection
- Seals: oil-resistant polymers such as NBR or PU
- Clevis: robust steel construction
Typical sizes: piston diameters 16–140 mm, stroke lengths 50–1000+ mm, operating pressure up to 315 bar, piston speed up to 0.5 m/s.
Where are double-acting hydraulic cylinders with clevis used?
They are used in:
- Construction machinery (excavators, loaders)
- Agricultural machinery (tractors, combine harvesters)
- Material handling and conveying systems
- Industrial machinery (lifting, clamping, positioning)
Everywhere precise motion control is required.
What advantages do double-acting hydraulic cylinders with clevis offer?
- Precise control in both directions
- Flexible mounting thanks to clevis
- Wide range of applications across many industries
- High robustness and durability
How do you select the right double-acting hydraulic cylinder?
- Force & stroke: calculate piston diameter and stroke (F = P × A)
- Operating pressure: typically up to 315 bar
- Mounting & installation conditions: clevis must fit
- Environmental conditions: temperature, dirt, humidity
- Speed: desired piston movement must be considered
- Safety factors: consider load peaks and wear
What maintenance is required and what is the service life?
Maintenance includes:
- Regular inspection of seals for leaks
- Lubrication of the clevis
- Checking the hydraulic system
With proper use, the service life is several years to decades – depending on load, operating conditions, and material quality.
How do double-acting hydraulic cylinders differ from single-acting cylinders?
Single-acting cylinders exert force in only one direction (usually extension). Retraction is achieved by gravity or a spring. Double-acting cylinders, on the other hand, operate hydraulically in both directions, enabling precise and bidirectional control – ideal for demanding applications.
