2. 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 ...

3. Hydraulic cylinder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_cylinder

   A hydraulic cylinder is the actuator or "motor" side of this system. The "generator" side of the hydraulic system is the hydraulic pump which delivers a fixed or regulated flow of oil to the hydraulic cylinder, to move the piston. There are three types of pump widely used: hydraulic hand pump, hydraulic air pump, and hydraulic electric pump.

4. Hydraulic motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_motor

   The hydraulic motor is the rotary counterpart of the hydraulic cylinder as a linear actuator. Most broadly, the category of devices called hydraulic motors has sometimes included those that run on hydropower (namely, water engines and water motors ) but in today's terminology the name usually refers more specifically to motors that use ...

5. Telescopic cylinder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telescopic_cylinder

   Pneumatic telescoping cylinder 5-stage, double-acting, demonstrating full extension and retraction. A double acting cylinder is extended and retracted using hydraulic or pneumatic pressure in both directions. Double acting telescopic cylinders are thus much more complex in design than the single acting type.

6. Actuator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actuator

   In a double acting actuator, the return stroke is driven by fluid pressure applied to the opposite side of the piston. [5] Since liquids are nearly impossible to compress, a hydraulic actuator can exert a large force. The drawback of this approach is its limited acceleration.

7. Reciprocating engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocating_engine

   In some designs the piston may be powered in both directions in the cylinder, in which case it is said to be double-acting. Steam piston engine A labeled schematic diagram of a typical single-cylinder, simple expansion, double-acting high pressure steam engine. Power takeoff from the engine is by way of a belt.
