    • 6.1: Function of a Single-Acting Cylinder
      This page discusses single-acting cylinders, which are linear actuators that use fluid power for unidirectional motion, assisted by an external return force.
    • 6.2: Single-Acting Cylinder Operation
      This page discusses two types of single-acting cylinders: the spring-return cylinder, which extends with compressed air and retracts with an internal spring, and the spring-extension cylinder, which retracts with air and extends with a spring.
    • 6.3: Pull-Type Single-Acting Cylinder Operation
      This page discusses a spring-extension single-acting cylinder that retracts the piston rod using compressed air and extends with a spring when air pressure is released.
