This way, after reading this article, you can be sure whether double-acting cylinders are the right ones for your system.

 

What are the different types of pneumatic cylinders?

 

Basically, of course, we know a single-acting cylinder and a double-acting cylinder, but within these types there are many different types of pneumatic cylinders.

In this article, we will discuss all the different pneumatic cylinders that we know within pneumatics. 

 

What is meant by the 'stroke' of a pneumatic cylinder?

 

We focus on the basics of stroke lengths and look at which stroke lengths fit the different types of pneumatic cylinders.
