Both are hydraulically driven.
» Single acting cylinders have one port that pushes hydraulic fluid into the cylinder to open and a spring inside the cylinder pushes it back closed when the fluid is removed.
» Double acting cylinders have two ports on each side so pending the flow of the hydraulic fluid, the cylinder either opens or closes.
