Pneumatic actuator that converts pressure energy of compressed gas into mechanical energy. Cylinder has two types of reciprocating linear motion and reciprocating swing, as shown in The figure "Cylinder". Reciprocating linear motion of the cylinder can be divided into single acting cylinder, double acting cylinder, diaphragm cylinder and impact cylinder 4.
Hydraulic cylinder is a widely used structural form in hydraulic system. In order to correctly design and use this kind of cylinder, we should master its characteristics and related applications and precautions.
