IndySam is correct. If we are to prepare these students for working in the industry, we should teach (use) proper terminology. Incorrect, or non-standard, terminology leads to confusion and mistakes.

It is a cylinder or pneumatic actuator.

It can be used as a piston when attached to a cam but it is not a piston.
