An actuator comprises a cylinder, a first, second and third port, an actuation piston, a control piston and a control spring. The cylinder defines a longitudinal axis and comprises a first and second end. The first port communicates with the first end of the cylinder, the second port communicates with the second end of the cylinder, and the third port communicates with the cylinder between the first and second ends. The actuation piston is disposed in the cylinder and is moveable along the longitudinal axis in a first and second direction. The actuation piston comprises a first and second side. The control piston also is disposed in the cylinder and is moveable along the longitudinal axis in a first and second direction. The control piston comprises a first and second side, with the first side of the control piston facing the second side of the actuation piston. The control spring biases the control piston in at least one of the first and second directions. A method of controlling the actuator is also provided.
