Single-acting and double-acting cylinders are two types of actuators used primarily in hydraulic and pneumatic systems for converting fluid pressure into linear motion. ### Single-Acting Cylinders - **Definition**: A single-acting cylinder can exert force in one direction only. It uses fluid power to extend the piston, and a spring (or gravity) typically returns the piston to its original position.
