Hydraulic systems are vital in many industries, including oil and gas production, transportation, and storage. Regarding hydraulic actuators, there are two main types: single-acting and double-acting. Both have unique benefits and applications, but which suits your system? -> This guide will explore the differences between single-acting and double-acting hydraulic systems and why you should consider using both. First, let’s define the two types. Single-acting hydraulic systems use pressure to move a piston in one direction only. This is achieved by introducing hydraulic fluid into one side of the piston while allowing the other side to vent. On the other hand, double-acting hydraulic systems can move the piston in both directions by introducing hydraulic fluid to either side of the piston. So, why choose one over the other? Single-acting hydraulic systems are more straightforward and less expensive than double-acting systems, making them a good choice for applications where only on
