Pneumatic cylinders are most commonly used in the engineering and manufacturing industries to generate motion from the build-up of a pressurised gas. Of course, the type of pneumatic cylinder you require will vary depending on the specific application and industry. Pneumatic cylinders are also commonly known as air cylinders; due to the way the instrument operates.

Each of these cylinders are used for specific applications, meaning the one most suited to purpose, will depend on the job in question.

Double acting pneumatic cylinders operate on both ends of the piston, one element is used for the outstroke, while the other is used for instroke. While single acting pistons are most commonly used in internal engines, double acting pistons can be found in machinery such as steam engines, which is known as an external engine. This is because double acting pneumatic cylinders produce force from both ends of the piston.
