Question

explain the difference between an input cylinder and an output cylinder in a hydraulic jack.​

Answer 1

input cylinder:

The syringe on which you push the plunger in is called the input or master cylinder of the system. The syringe that is moved is called the output or slave cylinder of the system. Instead of "master cylinder", you can say driver cylinder.

output cylinder:

A hydraulic cylinder (also called a linear hydraulic motor) is a mechanical actuator that is used to give a unidirectional force through a unidirectional stroke. It has many applications, notably in construction equipment (engineering vehicles), manufacturing machinery, and civil engineering.
