This type of cylinder has only one piston against which the oil pressure is applied. In this way, the movement thrust only develops in one direction. The piston rod is returned either by its own weight or by an external load or force (e.g. a spring).
Lifting platforms, forklifts and truck tippers are often operated with single-acting cylinders.
