  • Tandem cylinders are two separate double acting air cylinders arranged in line to one cylinder body so that the power generated by the two is added together.
  • Thereby approximately doubling the piston output.
  • A tandem cylinder is used in applications where a large amount of force is required from a small-diameter cylinder.
  • Basically, a tandem cylinder is simply two or more separate cylinders stacked end to end in a unit and with all the pistons mounted on a common piton rod.
  • Pressure is applied to both pistons, resulting in increased force because of the larger area.
