A cylinder actuator includes a body assembly and a piston assembly. The body assembly includes a first cylinder nested concentrically within a second cylinder. The piston assembly slides linearly within the first and second cylinders. The piston assembly includes a first piston assembly end and a second piston assembly end. The first piston assembly end includes first and second pistons. The first piston moves within the first cylinder. The second piston moves within the second cylinder. The piston assembly includes first and second piston rods. The first piston rod extends from the first piston through a first end of the first cylinder. The second piston rod extends from the second piston through a first end of the second cylinder. The piston rods are joined at the second end of the piston rod assembly located outside of the first and second cylinders.
