Plunger Cylinders

Get More Info

Plunger cylinders, also known as ram cylinders, operate with hydraulic pressure applied to one side of a single-acting piston. These cylinders generate force in one direction, making them ideal for lifting, pushing, and pressing applications. Commonly found in hydraulic presses, jacks, and material handling equipment, plunger cylinders are designed for high-force applications with minimal retraction force. Because they lack a piston seal, they rely on external weight or a return spring for retraction. Their simple design ensures reliability and ease of maintenance in heavy-duty industrial settings.
