Why the double rod version
With a rod supported at both ends, the piston cannot twist under an off-centre load, so a separate guide is often unnecessary. The second rod gives a mounting point for a sensor dog or a stop, and equal areas on both sides mean the same force and speed in each direction.
Mounting and rod end
The A body is tapped at both ends for bolting from either face; the B body takes a bolt passing right through. The M rod end gives a male thread, so joints and clevises attach without an adapter — on a double rod cylinder that applies to both ends, which is useful when the second rod drives a second element.
