working of single acting and double acting cylinder
There is no force acting and therefore no work done.
work is said to be positive when both the force and displacement is acting on the same direction
The single word energy refers to the ability to do work.
Unequal
the force is not in the direction of the objects motion.
Single-acting devices consist of a large plunger, or piston, into which oil (or air in a pneumatic cylinder) is pumped.
Single Acting Cylinders:In single acting cylinders the fluid is pressurized from only one side of the cylinder during both the expansion as well as the retraction process.Double Acting Cylinders:In the double acting cylinders, the pressure from the fluid is applied in both the directions.Any double-acting cylinder may be used as a single-acting unit by draining the inactive end.By hamza_siddiqui@hotmail.com
A differential cylinder has a large piston that requires a greater amount of oil to displace the cylinder, thus allowing greater uniformity of force than a typical single-acting cylinder.
Single action actuating cylinder means that fail action (open or close) is accomplished by spring mounted on the opposite side of pneumatic cylinder and normal operation by airDouble acting cylinder means that both, opening and closing, manoeuvres are accomplished by pneumatic cylinder.
Reciprocating compressors are either single- or double-acting. In single-acting machines the compression takes place on only one side of the piston; double-acting machines use both sides of the cylinder for compression.
single acting: actively driven by hydraulic fluid pressure in only one direction, passively returned in the other direction by another force (e.g. springs, gravity)double acting: actively driven hydraulic fluid pressure in both directions
Question needs to be in clear, understandable so we know what you are askiing. Please re-write this carefully
If one takes a look at the schematic drawing of an auto-retract clamp and drill hydraulic circuit, one will see the single-acting clamp cylinder and quarter of an inch operator control valve. It also has double-acting work cylinder, as well as quarter inch air sequence valve.
Single-acting? You mean like a single cylinder engine, like in my lawn mower? The biggest difference (besides the obvious "an opposed engine has more cylinders" is that an opposed engine has more torque. On a single-cylinder four-stroke, you've got the cylinder moving under input energy--the burning gasoline--for one stroke, and under stored energy from the flywheel for three strokes. If you have a two-cylinder engine, you have two strokes where the engine is moving under input energy--each cylinder has one--and two strokes using stored energy. If you have a four-cylinder engine, each stroke is moving under input energy.

It exerts force only in one direction, and only retracts when hydraulic pressure is relieved from the cylinder, coming down under its own weight or the weight of the apparatus to which it is connected.
The working pressure acts from one side in single acting actuators while in double acting actuators strokes generating by each side.
