Linear Actuating Cylinder Head
Item Name Code (INC) 61755
![]() |
An item designed to attach to the actuating end of a linear cylinder. It has an orifice to accommodate a piston rod and packing, bearing, or the like to retain fluid in the cylinder assembly. The item may include ports, valves, and the like. For items opposite the actuating end, see CAP, LINEAR ACTUATING CYLINDER.
Additional Information for Linear Actuating Cylinder Head
A linear actuating cylinder head is a component used in various mechanical systems to convert rotary motion into linear motion. It consists of a cylinder with a piston inside that moves back and forth in a straight line. The piston is connected to a rod or shaft, which extends out of the cylinder head.
When hydraulic or pneumatic pressure is applied to one side of the piston, it creates a force that pushes the piston in one direction, causing the rod to extend. When pressure is applied to the other side of the piston, it creates a force that pushes the piston in the opposite direction, causing the rod to retract.
Linear actuating cylinder heads are commonly used in applications where linear motion is required, such as in industrial machinery, automation systems, robotics, and automotive applications. They are often used to control the movement of various components, such as valves, levers, or slides, by converting the rotational motion of a motor or other power source into linear motion.
