What are the types cylinder?

Question

Accepted Answer

There are two types of cylinders: single-acting and double-acting.

Single-acting cylinders have one port for fluid to enter and exit, and use a spring or other external force to retract the piston.
Double-acting cylinders have two ports for fluid to enter and exit, and use fluid pressure to both extend and retract the piston.
Other types of cylinders include telescoping cylinders, rodless cylinders, and rotary cylinders.
Telescoping cylinders have multiple stages that can extend and retract, allowing for a longer stroke in a shorter overall length.
Rodless cylinders have no piston rod extending from the cylinder, and instead use a magnet or other mechanism to move the load.
Rotary cylinders convert fluid pressure into rotational motion, and are used for applications such as indexing or clamping.
