Abstract
Fluid actuator includes a composite cylinder having circumferential hoop stress windings wrapped about a liner member forming the piston chamber wall, and longitudinal tension windings extending from the outboard end of the cylinder along one side thereof and around the inboard end of the cylinder to the other side and back to the outboard end where they are secured to the cylinder. A compression column of composite material may be provided between a cylinder end wall and a permanent structure mount at the inboard end of the cylinder to extend the length of the cylinder to accommodate a tail stock on the piston of a pressure balanced actuator.
