Whether the piston is a disc or a cylinder each pneumatic cylinder is designed to transfer force to move an object when compressed gas expands if the gas is at a greater pressure than the atmospheric pressure.

This simple design difference distinguishes both cylinders in terms of movement and speed. A double acting pneumatic cylinder is one where the thrust or output force is developed in both extending and retracting directions. While single acting cylinders such as diaphragm type cylinders or spring return cylinders are mechanically returned to their starting position by an integrated spring double acting cylinders are exclusively retracted and extended via. More basic and cost effective than double acting cylinders these single acting cylinders exert force in one direction and have a spring to return the rod to its original position.
