Pistons

From HBM's Nuclear Tech Wiki

Pistons are a intermediate component used in many recipes, especially machine upgrades. It represents the press or a moving component in machines. It has 3 variants, Pneumatic, Hydraulic and Electric.

Pneumatic Piston

This piston is the most basic of all and the most used of all. It is usually used for conveyor belt machinery. It works without energy and using force to operate.
