CYLINDERS
The hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder is an example of a linear actuator.
The principles and form are the same for both hydraulic and pneumatic versions differences being purely a matter of size as a consequence of the higher pressures used with hydraulics.
The cylinder consists of a cylindrical tube along which a piston/ram can slide.
There arc two basic types, single- acting cylinders and double-acting cylinders.
