Claim 9:
10. A method of operating an aircraft actuation system comprising a first cylinder and a second cylinder, wherein each of said first cylinder and said second cylinder has a first cylinder end and an oppositely disposed second cylinder end, said method comprising:
directing a first flow into said first cylinder;
moving a first piston within said first cylinder toward said first cylinder end of said first cylinder in response to said directing a first flow step;
pushing a roller train in a first direction in response to said moving a first piston step by said first flow, wherein said roller train extends between said first and second cylinders and is engaged with a pinion of said aircraft actuation system throughout said pushing a roller train in a first direction step;
moving a second piston within said second cylinder toward said second cylinder end of said second cylinder in response to said pushing a roller train in a first direction step and against a pressurized fluid within said second cylinder between said second piston and said second cylinder end of said second cylinder;
rotating said pinion in a first rotational direction using said pushing a roller train in a first direction step; and
compressing said roller train between said first piston and said second piston using each of said pushing a roller train in a first direction step and said pressurized fluid within second cylinder.
