Single acting cylinder
The piston rod of a single acting cylinder is operated by the input of compressed air at the front end position. When the compressed air is shut off, the piston returns to its starting position via a return spring. The piston of the cylinder contains a permanent solenoid which can be used to operate a proximity switch.
