Double acting (5 way) valves power the actuator in BOTH directions. Double acting systems are usually slower because they have to exhaust pressure from the opposing side of the ram. Single acting (3 way) valves power actuators in only ONE direction and then exhausts to allow a spring, elastic, or gravity to return the actuator to its starting position.
