Differential Cylinder $—$ Model of a differential cylinder

This model is a double acting cylinder with a rod on one side and damping at the ends modeled with springs and dampers. This model has two active chambers on either side of the piston and internal leakage but only external leakage from chamberB. External leakage can be turned off by clearing the hasExternalLeakage setting (found under the Properties tab ( ) in the Parameters $\to$  Leakage section.

Cylinder Geometry This is a simplified overview of the geometric parameters defining the cylinder geometry:

Mechanical Friction This model includes Stribeck Friction (see the following figure).
