In an actuator (102), a piston head portion (108) reciprocates in a large diameter section of a cylinder casing (102), dividing such section into first and second variable volume chambers (112, 116). An end portion (104) projects outwardly of the cylinder casing (102) and includes a mounting (162) at its end. The opposite end portion (106) extends into a third variable volume chamber (120). A piston head portion (82) reciprocates in a piston section (72) of a volumetric compensator (14). One end portion of piston (80) is slidably received within first variable volume chamber (90). The opposite end portion (86) of the piston (80) extends through a central opening in a diverter wall (88) between the piston section (72) and a gas charge section (78). Pressurized gas within the gas charge section (78) acts on the second end (86) of the piston (80), forcing hydraulic fluid in chamber (90) to chamber (120 ) of actuator (102). The gas pressure in chamber (116) and the hydraulic fluid pressure in chamber (120) both exert a force between the actuator piston and cylinder casing tending to extend or elongate the actuator (102). Variable volume chamber (100) of the compensator (14) and variable volume chamber (112) of the actuator are interconnected and fluid is transferred back and forth between them during movements of the compensator and actuator pistons.
