 |
Non-return valve with neck |
Valve allowing free flow in one direction and blocking (neck) in the other one. |
 |
Single-acting cylinder |
The fluid pressure is applied in one sense only (forward stroke). Back stroke : by undefined force By means of a spring |
 |
Quick exhaust valve |
In case of a pressure drop in the input duct, the output duct is connected with free air. |
 |
Double-acting cylinder |
The fluid pressure is applied alternatively in two directions (forward and back stroke).
Single rod
Double rod |
 |
Pressure control
(security valve) |
Pressure control at the input hole by means of the opening of the exhaust hole (e.g. connected to the receiver or the free air) against a counter force. |
 |
Differential
cylinder |
The ratio between the cylinder section and the ring section of the piston near the rod is essential for the cylinder operation. |
 |
Pressure control
(controlling device) |
The pressure is controlled (security valve) to the counter force value or by means of a controlling device to a lower value. |
 |
Cylinder with non adjustable cushion |
Acting from one side only Acting from both sides |
 |
Pressure source
Hydraulic pressure source
Pneumatic pressure source |
|
 |
Double-acting telescopic cylinder |
Cylinder with several pistons which enter one into the other with forward and backward movement. |
 |
