Atlas Cylinders FD388952 Double Acting Cylinder

Atlas Cylinders FD388952 Double Acting Cylinder with a single rod and an 18-inch (457 mm) stroke is designed to deliver reliable bidirectional linear actuation in hydraulic systems, offering a compact footprint that fits tight installations while preserving full stroke travel for demanding industrial tasks. In a double-acting configuration, hydraulic pressure on one end extends the piston, and pressure on the opposite end retracts it, enabling precise control of movement and force in automation, manufacturing, and equipment where bidirectional actuation is essential. The single-rod design concentrates load transfer along one piston rod, simplifying attachment to the actuated component and providing straightforward integration with standard hydraulic circuitry and mounting interfaces, while the 457 mm stroke specification defines the travel distance engineers must accommodate in their linkage geometry. Designed for use within hydraulic systems requiring two-way motion, this FD388952 cylinder supports repeatable actuation cycles and predictable response within the 18-inch stroke, helping designers meet cycle-time and positioning goals in equipment that relies on consistent, controllable piston travel.
