A telescopic cylinder (shown in Fig. 1.6) is used when a long stroke length and a short retracted length are required. The telescopic cylinder extends…

Figure 1.4 shows the operation of a double-acting cylinder with a piston rod on one side. To extend the cylinder, the pump flow is sent…

A tandem cylinder, shown in Fig. 1.7, is used in applications where a large amount of force is required from a small-diameter cylinder. Pressure is…

A double-acting cylinder with a piston rod on both sides (Fig.1.5)is a cylinder with a rod extending from both ends. This cylinder can be used…

A spring-return single-acting cylinder is shown in Fig.1.3.In push type [Fig. 1.3(a)], the pressure is sent through the pressure port situated at the blank end…

Figure1.2 shows gravity-return-type single-acting cylinders. In the push type [Fig. 1.2(a)], the cylinder extends to lift a weight against the force of gravity by applying…

A single-acting cylinder is simplest in design and is shown schematically in Fig.1.1. It consists of a piston inside a cylindrical housing called barrel. On…

Oscillating motors are actuators that generate rotation at a certain angle with a hydraulic pressure. They include the vane and piston types. They can be…

Piston motors are available in axial and radial types. Also available are fixed and variable displacement axial piston motors that operate at a high, medium,…

(1) Low-speed high-torque vane motor: This motor has a relatively large capacity and operates with a high torque at a low speed. The motor shown…
