power
A pump driven by prime mover (electric motor)
convert the energy of the fluid back into mechanical energy to perform useful work

EXTENSION STROKE
Fluid enters the blank end of cylinder through the entire circular area of the piston AP
RETRACTION STROKE
Fluid enters the rod end of cylinder through the Smaller annular between the rod & cylinder bore AP-Ar
Extension force is greater than the retraction force for the same operating pressure Retraction velocity is greater the extension velocity for the same input flow rate
CYLINDER POWER
Power developed by hydraulic cylinder equals the product of its force and velocity during a given stroke Power = p X Qin
simplest design. Hydraulic fluid enters through a port at one end of the cylinder, which then moves the piston to extend the rod. An external force returns the piston to its normal position and forces the hydraulic fluid back through the supply tubing to the fluid reservoir.
supplied with hydraulic fluid for both the retraction and extension of the piston. They are used where an external force is not available to retract the piston or where high force is required in both directions of travel.
