Pneumatics Kit 2 – Double Acting Cylinders

The cylinder in Pneumatics Kit 1 is single-acting — it uses air to extend the cylinder rod but uses a spring to return to its contracted state. As a result, the cylinder may expand and contract at different speeds.

In contrast, the cylinders in Pneumatics Kit 2 are double-acting and use compressed air to both extend and retract.

Pneumatics Kit 2 – Double Acting Cylinders

Kit 2 is a complete pneumatics add-on for VEX V5. The cylinders are Double Acting, meaning they use air pressure to extend and retract the piston.
