Before Ordering
What is the main advantage of a double-acting cylinder?
Hydraulic pressure powers both advance and return, providing controlled retraction and better cycle control than a spring- or load-return design.
Can a single-acting pump operate a double-acting cylinder?
A double-acting cylinder requires a compatible pump and directional valve that can pressurize both cylinder ports.
Why must pump reservoir capacity be checked?
The pump must hold enough usable oil for the selected cylinder's required oil volume throughout the operating cycle.
What information is needed when replacing an existing cylinder?
Provide the BVA model number or the required push force, pull force, stroke, collapsed height, port size, outside dimensions and mounting details.
