double acting cylinder

A double acting cylinder is a type of special machine that is used in lots of places to help push things. Let’s find out how it works and why we need to look after it.

A cylinder that is double acting is basically just a big tube with some pieces inside. It can also be used to shift things in and out, by air or by liquid. This is what allows machines to lift heavy objects, or pick them up and move them from one place to another.

How does a double acting cylinder work?

When air, or liquid, enters one side of the cylinder, it causes a piece called the piston to move. It’s akin to a big stick pushing against something when the piston moves. Then, when air or liquid is pumped in from the other side, the piston slides the opposite way, pushing the thing in the opposite direction. This reciprocation is the basic concept behind how double acting cylinder operates.
