his module will calculate the volume of both ends of a cylinder,
maximum suggest load for each direction, and the flow for each
direction. This is very useful for determining the correct
cylinder bore, as well as the FRL size (based on flow) and the
necessary air supply capacity.
Cylinder Bore, Stroke, Rod Diameter, Extend and
Retract Times, Design Pressure for the Extend and Retract.
The
cylinder bore diameter in inches or millimeter.
The
cylinder stroke length in inches or millimeter.
The
cylinder rod diameter in inches or millimeter.
The amount
of time it takes for the cylinder to extend.
The pressure that is applied to the blind end of
the cylinder.
The
amount of time it takes for the cylinder to retract.
The pressurethat is applied to the rod end of the
cylinder.
The area of the piston in the blind end of the cylinder.
The volume of the blind end of the cylinder in the fully
extended position.
The volume of the blind end of the cylinder in the
fully extended position.
The maximum suggested load for the cylinder
to extend. This number allows for a 33% safety factor.
The
flow during the extend stroke.
The area of the piston minus the cross-sectional area of the
rod.
The volume of the rod end of the cylinder in the fully
retracted position.
The volume of the rod end of the cylinder
in the fully retracted position.
The maximum suggested load for the cylinder
to retract. This number allows for a 33% safety factor.
