[Dans le] vérin à membrane, que l'on appelle souvent [boîte à air comprimé on] a tendu fermement entre deux coques métalliques ventrues [...] une membrane de métal, de matière plastique ou de caoutchouc résistant. La tige du piston est fixée fermement au centre de la membrane. [La tige de piston] d'un vérin à membrane peut aussi être représentée à plat [...] pour former par exemple directement la surface de fixation. Ces vérins n'admettent que de petites courses de quelques millimètres à 50 mm maximum. Cette version est plus particulièrement destinée aux opérations de tension. La course de retour est assurée par un ressort de rappel incorporé, ou par la tension de la membrane elle-même dans les courses plus petites. 2, record 1, French, - v%C3%A9rin%20%C3%A0%20membrane
