Among them, the number of guide rods 3 is not limited and can be two, three, etc., preferably two; the guide post 4 is used to movably cooperate with the first guide hole, so as to further exert an axial guiding effect on the piston assembly 2, further prevent the piston assembly 2 from moving radially, further increase the force balance, and further prevent the piston assembly 2 and the cylinder barrel 1 from wearing each other, so as to further prevent seal failure; the negative pressure hole 222 is used for the liquid medium to flow through, prevent the formation of negative pressure in the first guide hole, and further prevent the piston assembly 2 from being unable to move; the cylinder barrel 1 is provided with an oil inlet hole 11 and an oil return hole 12 to facilitate the liquid medium to flow through the cylinder barrel 1.
