Soft Top Compartment Cover Hydraulic CYL (Opening/Closing)

Soft top compartment cover hydraulic cylinder (opening/closing)

Purpose
Opening and closing soft top compartment cover.

Design
Double acting differential cylinder (pressure connection on rod and piston sides).

Function
When the hydraulic cylinder is pressurized on one side the hydraulic cylinder rod extends or retracts. The direction of motion depends on whether the hydraulic pressure is applied to the piston or rod side. When pressurized on both sides (piston and rod sides) the cylinder rod extends, because the force acting on the piston side is greater due to the larger active area. When the cylinder rod extends the soft top compartment cover opens.
