If it is a displacement cylinder, it does. They may have no internal
stop and the shaft/piston will simply be pushed out of the cylinder. A
very bad situation now covered with hydraulic oil!

All the cylinders I have ever seen, aircraft or industrial, either
limited out against something, whether that was the end of the cylinder
or a limiting device, or were restrained by the item that they were
moving, as in, it only has so much room to move.

It seems a dumb idea, to me, to build a mechanism that will come apart
if not stopped before the end of it's travel.
