How do you select a hydraulic cylinder in linear force action?
2 things you should know first before selecting hydraulic cylinder, 1) maximum working load required 2) supplied hydraulic pressure Maximum load you can calculate as F=m.a And Pressure, P = F / A and A is effective area of cylinder surface. A = (pi*d^2)/4 By calculating A, you can determine diameter for your required cylinder size. Side note; Don’t forget to state your stroke length when order the cylinder.
