In a double-acting cylinder, both chambers can be pressurized. The chamber that houses the cylinder rod has less surface area in contact with the hydraulic fluid, as the rod occupies part of the piston’s area.
Consequently, this chamber requires less pressure to retract compared to the other chamber. Therefore, precise pressure and direction control are crucial in this hydraulic system configuration.
