1.Miturut arah udhara teken sing tumindak ing pasuryan mburi piston, bisa dipérang dadi silinder akting tunggal lan silinder akting ganda. Silinder akting tunggal mung siji arah gerakan didorong dening tekanan udara, piston ngreset kanthi gaya spring utawa gravitasi; Piston saka silinder tumindak pindho wis rampung dening compressed online.
2.Miturut karakteristik struktural, bisa dipérang dadi silinder piston, silinder vane, silinder film, gas -silinder damping cair lan liya-liyane.
3.Miturut cara instalasi, bisa dipérang dadi silinder jinis kursi kuping, silinder jinis flange, silinder jinis pin poros lan silinder jinis flange.
4.Miturut fungsi silinder, bisa dipérang dadi silinder normal lan silinder khusus. Silinder normal utamane nuduhake jinis piston silinder akting tunggal lan silinder akting ganda; Silinder khusus kalebu gas-silinder redam cair, silinder jinis film, silinder impact, silinder booster, silinder stepping, silinder rotary, lsp.
