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 ...

   Operation diagram of a double acting cylinder 3D-animated pneumatic cylinder Schematic symbol for pneumatic cylinder with spring return Pneumatic cylinder , also known as air cylinder , is a mechanical device which uses the power of compressed gas to produce a force in a reciprocating linear motion.

4. Hydraulic cylinder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_cylinder

   If we call a normal rod cylinder single stage, telescopic cylinders are multi-stage units of two, three, four, five, or more stages. In general telescopic cylinders are much more expensive than normal cylinders. Most telescopic cylinders are single acting (push). Double acting telescopic cylinders must be specially designed and manufactured. [17]

5. Watt's linkage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watt's_linkage

   The earlier single-action beam engines used a chain to connect the piston to the beam and this worked satisfactorily for pumping water from mines, etc. However, for rotary motion a linkage that works both in compression and tension provides a better design and allows a double-acting cylinder to be used. Such an engine incorporates a piston ...

6. Single-cylinder engine - Wikipedia

   DKW RT 250 (1952–1953) motorcycle engine. A single-cylinder engine, sometimes called a thumper, is a piston engine with one cylinder.This engine is often used for motorcycles, motor scooters, motorized bicycles, go-karts, all-terrain vehicles, radio-controlled vehicles, power tools and garden machinery (such as chainsaws, lawn mowers, cultivators, and string trimmers).

7. Air-operated valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-operated_valve

   [1] [2] 3-way valves pressurize and exhaust one outlet port to control a single-acting cylinder or pilot another valve. [3] Three-way valves may be used in pairs to operate a double-acting cylinder, thus replacing a four-way valve. A primary function of the 3-way valve is to save/store air that's compressed in high cyclic applications.
