GF77.37-P-3106-04QA Soft Top Actuation Hydraulic Cylinder, Function
When the hydraulic cylinder is pressurized on one side, the hydraulic cylinder rod extends or retracts.The direction of motion depends on whether the
hydraulic pressure is applied from the piston or rod side.
When pressure is applied to the rod (b) of the hydraulic cylinder the hydraulic cylinder rod retracts.When pressure is applied to the piston side (a), the
rod extends.
When pressure is applied to both sides (piston and rod side) the cylinder rod extends, because the force acting on the piston side is higher due to the
larger effective surface.
