Is Buyers Products Lift Cylinder 3371304020 Single or Double Acting

Published 12/04/2023

Question:

Curious what it means by “Dual ports allow both pressing and pulling power of single-acting cylinder”. Does that mean it can be plumbed to either push or pull under power? Could it be used as a dual acting then if that’s the case?

The Replacement Lift Cylinder for Meyer Snow Plow - 6" Stroke - Single Acting # 3371304020 is a single acting lift cylinder that can only be pressurized to "lift" or extend. Gravity and relieving the pressure is what pushes the cylinder back in. There isn't a way to use it in reverse.
