2. Single- and double-acting cylinders - Wikipedia

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

   A single-acting cylinder in a reciprocating engine is a cylinder in which the working fluid acts on one side of the piston only. A single-acting cylinder relies on the load, springs, other cylinders, or the momentum of a flywheel, to push the piston back in the other direction. Single-acting cylinders are found in most kinds of reciprocating ...

3. Single-cylinder engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-cylinder_engine

   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).

4. Piston valve (steam engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_valve_(steam_engine)

   Diagram of cylinder and piston valve. The valve is next opened by moving it to the right, allowing the clear space in the middle of the valve to align with the channel in the cylinder above it. Piston valves are one form of valve used to control the flow of steam within a steam engine or locomotive .

5. 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.

6. High-speed steam engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-speed_steam_engine

   Multi-cylinder single-acting engines typically shared one piston valve between two cylinders, either between the cylinders or horizontally above them. [ 1 ] The valvegear driving these valves was usually simple, a single eccentric designed only to run at one speed, in one direction, for a fairly constant load.

7. Willans engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willans_engine

   [ii] In the single-acting engine there is no similar effect at the end of the power stroke. This had previously been a limitation on the operating speed of single-acting engines. In the Willans engine, cushioning at the end of stroke was provided by an additional air cylinder below the others. The air piston also acted as a trunk guide. During ...
