GF77.37-P-3101-04QA Soft Top Hydraulic Cylinder (Open/Close), Function
When the hydraulic cylinder is pressurized on one side, the hydraulic cylinder rod extends or retracts. The motion direction depends on whether
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.
