In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, a system (e.g., for aircraft systems) includes an actuator cylinder. The actuator cylinder comprises, a composite cylinder body, the composite cylinder body being axi-symmetric across at least a longitudinal axis. In embodiments, the composite cylinder body can include, a first plurality of plies laid in a first direction relative to the longitudinal axis and second plurality of plies laid in a second direction relative to the longitudinal axis different from the first direction to form a hollow chamber. The actuator cylinder can include a first metallic reinforcing ring and a second metallic reinforcing ring disposed at respective axial ends of the cylinder body configured to anchor the first plurality of plies and provide an axial reaction under axial stress and configured to provide load transfer from the cylinder body to one or more adjacent actuator components.
