Types of Hydrauli Cyli!dersHydraulic cylinders are of the following types:
Single-acting cylinders.
Double-acting cylinders.Telescopic cylinders.
Tandem cylinders.

2.Double-acting cylinder with a piston rod on both sides
Double-rod cylinders can withstand higher side loads because
they have an etra bearing! one on each rod! to withstand the
loading! same wor" can be done on both side of the rod

Telescopic Cylinder
7/23/2019 1 Linear Actuators
11/34
# telescopic cylinder is used when a long stro"e length and a
short retracted length are re$uired.
Telescopic cylinders are designed with a series of steel or
aluminum tubes of progressively smaller diameters nestedwithin each other.
The largest diameter sleeve is called the main or barrel. The
smaller inner sleeves are called the stages.
The smallest stage is often called the plunger or piston rod.The cylinders are usually mounted in machinery by pivot
mounts to the end or outer body of the barrel as well as on the
end of the plunger.

The fluid is normally epelled through the outlet port direct but when the cushioning boss enters the recess the fluid
around the piston is trapped!
The only way the fluid can escape is through the secondary
path which is restricted by a needle valve.
The needle valve is ad%usted so that the piston is slowed up
over the the last part of its stro"e by a pressure build up in the
fluid escaping past the needle valve.
