Pin Mounted Double Acting Cylinders

Pin Mounted Double Acting Cylinders

Flowfit supplies high-quality pin mounted double acting cylinders for industrial, agricultural, construction, commercial and mobile hydraulic applications. Designed to provide controlled linear movement in both extension and retraction, these cylinders use hydraulic pressure in both directions for dependable pushing and pulling force.

Also known as fixed pin hydraulic cylinders or hydraulic cylinders with fixed pin holes, this type of cylinder is ideal for systems that require secure mounting, reliable alignment and stable performance under load. The fixed pin holes at each end allow for straightforward installation into brackets, frames, linkages or machine assemblies.

Double Acting Operation for Controlled Movement

Unlike single acting cylinders, which use hydraulic pressure in one direction and rely on gravity, spring return or load return for the opposite movement, double acting hydraulic cylinders use hydraulic pressure for both extension and retraction. This provides greater control, improved responsiveness and more consistent movement in both directions.

This double acting design makes pin mounted cylinders suitable for systems where controlled pushing and pulling force is required. They are often used on machinery that needs accurate positioning, repeatable movement and dependable performance during both the extend and retract strokes.

Secure Fixed Pin Hole Mounting

The fixed pin hole design is one of the main advantages of this cylinder type. With fixed pin holes positioned at both ends of the cylinder, installation is straightforward and secure. This mounting arrangement helps maintain stability during operation and allows the cylinder to be connected directly to brackets, frames, linkages or machine components.

For applications exposed to heavy loads, vibration or repeated movement, secure mounting is essential. A double acting cylinder with fixed pin holes helps keep the hydraulic cylinder correctly positioned, supporting reliable operation and reducing the risk of unwanted movement during use.

Common Applications

Flowfit pin mounted double acting cylinders are suitable for a wide range of applications where controlled hydraulic force is required in both directions. They are commonly used throughout the agricultural, construction, industrial and material handling sectors.

• Agricultural machinery: Suitable for tractors, attachments, tipping trailers, loaders and other farm equipment requiring reliable hydraulic movement.
• Construction and plant equipment: Used on machinery that needs strong pushing, pulling, lifting or positioning force.
• Industrial machinery: Ideal for presses, lifting systems, production equipment and machines requiring controlled linear motion.
• Material handling equipment: Used for lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling and positioning goods, frames or machine parts.
• Mobile hydraulic systems: Suitable for trailers, vehicle-mounted equipment and other mobile applications where compact, reliable hydraulic force is needed.

Built for Strength and Reliability

When choosing a hydraulic cylinder, reliability is essential. Flowfit fixed pin hydraulic cylinders are selected to provide dependable performance in demanding working conditions. Their heavy-duty construction makes them suitable for hydraulic systems that require consistent operation, high load capability and long service life.

These cylinders are designed to support everyday use in tough environments, helping to reduce downtime and keep your equipment working efficiently. With the right cylinder selected for your application, you can achieve smooth movement, controlled force and reliable hydraulic performance.

Choosing the Right Pin Mounted Double Acting Cylinder

When selecting a pin mounted double acting cylinder, it is important to consider the bore size, stroke length, closed length, pin hole dimensions, working pressure and mounting requirements of your hydraulic system. Choosing the correct specification helps ensure that the cylinder can deliver the required force, movement and fitment for your equipment.

If you are replacing an existing cylinder, checking the current cylinder’s dimensions and mounting points is a good starting point. If you are specifying a cylinder for a new system, our team can help you identify the most suitable option based on your application and performance requirements.
