The manual control of a cylinder by a pushbutton is also known as ______.

• A. Jog
• B. Manual
• C. Jogging
• D. Pushbutton

Answer: (C)

Manual, incremental motion of a cylinder via pushbuttons is described as jogging. The idea is that the operator moves the actuator in small, discrete steps rather than a continuous run, allowing precise positioning. Each press or hold of a jog pushbutton nudges the cylinder a little bit, and releasing stops the movement, so repeated presses achieve the desired position. This term is standard in automation and distinguishes the action from simply operating in a manual mode or from the device itself. The wording “jogging” specifically captures that operator-driven, incremental movement.
