Example 1
: to find a cylinder that can exert a thrust Force
F
s
= 2000
N
, with a stroke
L
= 1400
mm
and a
pressure
p
= 6
bar
.
Figure 18
DiagramA
Starting from the value
F
s
=2000
N
various lines cross, the one representing a cylinder
D
=80
mm
with a25
mm
rod permits operation with the required pressure. Since the stroke of 1400
mm
is greater than
10 times the
diameter of the rod
(25
mm
in the example given), a compression load verification is required.
DiagramB
The selected cylinder, with
p
= 6
bar
, develops a Force
F
s
= 3000
N
(approx). To have a value
F
s
= 2000
N
it
is necessary to limit the pressure to 4
bar
.
From the value of 2000
N
, we follow the vertical line until it reaches the “rod Ø 25
mm
” line and this gives a
reading of maximum length
L
= 700
mm
(approx.).
Possible installation types
:

Pos. B/1
: is not possible, this installation type enables the cylinder to develop amaximum stroke length

Pos. B/3
: is at the limit so there is no margin of safety. This installation type enables the cylinder to develop a
maximum stroke length

: using the value of the Force

[bar]
, the diagram allows you to
choose the diameter of the cylinder alongwith the rod as indicated in parentheses.
Diagram B
: based on the Force

s
[kg]
and the length of the rod
L
[mm]
, the diagram shows the maximum
possible length for theworst-case connection, as indicated in Pos. A.
