  2. Pneumatic cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_cylinder

    The piston is a disc or cylinder, and the piston rod transfers the force it develops to the object to be moved. [ 1 ] : 85 Engineers sometimes prefer to use pneumatics because they are quieter, cleaner, and do not require large amounts of space for fluid storage.

  3. Gas spring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_spring

    A gas spring consists of a sealed cylinder filled with a charge of high-pressure [5] gas, a piston rod attached to a piston with a sliding seal, and some oil. [1] The piston (or the cylinder wall) contains a number of channels that allow the gas to transfer between the lower chamber (between the piston and the closed end of the cylinder) and the upper chamber (between the piston and the head ...

  4. Single- and double-acting cylinders - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-_and_double-acting...

    Typical horizontal steam engine with double-acting cylinder. A double-acting cylinder is a cylinder in which the working fluid acts alternately on both sides of the piston. . In order to connect the piston in a double-acting cylinder to an external mechanism, such as a crank shaft, a hole must be provided in one end of the cylinder for the piston rod, and this is fitted with a gland or ...

  5. Two-stroke engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-stroke_engine

    Animation of a two-stroke engine. A two-stroke (or two-stroke cycle) engine is a type of internal combustion engine that completes a power cycle with two strokes of the piston (one up and one down movement) in one revolution of the crankshaft in contrast to a four-stroke engine which requires four strokes of the piston in two crankshaft revolutions to complete a power cycle.

  6. Dashpot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dashpot

    This needle is held in the fuel flow orifice. The manifold vacuum causes this piston to rise allowing more fuel into the airflow. The SU's dashpot has a fixed hydraulic piston, damping the main piston as it moves upward. A valve in the piston disables the damping as the main piston returns. Large forces and high speeds can be controlled by ...

  7. Two-stroke diesel engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-stroke_diesel_engine

    In 1908, MAN Nürnberg offered single-acting piston two-stroke diesel engines for marine use, [6] the first double-acting piston [clarify] engine from MAN Nürnberg was made in 1912 for an electric power plant. [7]

  8. Radial piston pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_piston_pump

    The piston starts in the inner dead center (IDC) with suction process. After a rotation angle of 180° it is finished and the workspace of the piston is filled with the moved medium. The piston is now in the outer dead center (ODC). From this point on the piston displaces the previously sucked medium in the pressure channel of the pump.

  9. Grumman C-2 Greyhound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_C-2_Greyhound

    The first of two prototypes flew in 1964. After successful testing, Grumman began production of the aircraft in 1965. The C-2 replaced the piston-engine Grumman C-1 Trader in the carrier onboard delivery (COD) role. The original C-2A aircraft were overhauled to extend their operational life in 1973. [2]
