This paper presents aspects related to use of cylinders with two piston rods. Besides that, in this article are presented four schemes for a double acting cylinder with in and out piston rod. There are presented one pneumatic circuit and one electropneumatic scheme. First pneumatic scheme comprises following devices: compressed air supply, air filter, 4/2 way valve, two throttles valves and a double acting cylinder (Cylin 1-1). The second pneumatic scheme comprises following devices: compressed air supply, start-up valve with filter control valve, 5/2 way valve, two throttles check valve and two double acting cylinders (Cylin 2-1 and Cylin 2-2). Furthermore, the first electro-pneumatic system comprises following devices: compressed air supply, air service unit, 5/2 way solenoid valve, two throttle check valves, two double acting cylinders (Cylin 3-1), two relays, two valves solenoid and two lamps. Finally, the second electro-pneumatic system has the following devices: compressed air supply, automatic drain filter, 5/2 way solenoid valve, double acting cylinder (Cylin 4-1), Grafcet PLC, sequential function chart (SFC) and two magnetic proximity valves. The design and simulation of the both circuits from this manuscript is done using FluidSim software from Festo.
