A solid shape whose bases are formed by congruent circles in parallel planes and whose lateral surface is curved. The segment whose endpoints are the centers of the circular bases is called the axis of the cylinder. The altitude is a segment perpendicular to the base planes with an endpoint in each plane.

Helpful?           0
(n) A planar geometric solid described by a straight line (the generatrix) that traces a closed, curved path and always stays parallel to itself. The most common cylinder is a right circular cylinder for which the curved path is a circle and the generatrix is perpendicular to the path.

A disk drive cylinder is a division of data in a disk drive, as used in the CHS addressing mode of a hard disk (or floppy disk). The concept is concentric, hollow, cylindrical slices through the physical disks (platters), collecting the respective circular tracks aligned through the stack of platters. (Tracks are subdivided into sectors).
