CYLINDER FORMULAS:







 




CYLINDER FORMULAS Thrust or force of any cylinder:
F = A x P
P = F ÷ A
A = F ÷ P
F = Force or thrust, in pounds
A = Piston area in square inches ( .7854 x D 2 )
P = PSI (Gauge pressure in pounds per square inch)
HP = Pounds of push (or pull) x Distance (in feet)                  550 x Time (in seconds)
HP = Horsepower Circle Formula:
A = D x D x .7854 A = D2 x 0.7854 A = π x R2
A = π x D2 ÷ 4
Circumference = 2 x R x π Circumference = π x D
D = A/.7854
A = Area in2 (Area sq. in.) R = Radius (1/2 of Diameter) D = Diameter, inches
π = 3.14









Hydraulic Cylinder Piston travel speed:
V1 (in/min) = CIM ÷ A
V2 (ft/min) = Q x 19.25  ÷ A
V3 (ft/sec) = Q x 0.3208 ÷ A
Q (GPM) = 3.117 x V3 (ft/sec) x A Q (GPM) = CIM ÷ 231
V1 = Velocity or piston travel speed, inches per minute V2 = Velocity or piston travel speed, feet per minute V3 = Velocity or piston travel speed, feet per second CIM = Flow rate in cubic inches per minute (in3)
A = Effective area in square inches (in2) Q = GPM Gallons per minute
1 Gallon = 231 in3 (cubic inch)





 





Volume required to move a piston a given distance: V = A x L
V = Volume in cubic inches (in3)
A = Area in square inches (in
2)
L = Length or stroke in inches
Regenerative Cylinder
Extend Speed = Rod Volume ÷ Flow Rate in3 Area to Retract = Area to extend - Rod Area



Cylinder Ratio = Area to extend ÷ Area to retract
Note:
Ratio can be used to calculate pressure intensification and flow intensification.










Effective force of a cylinder working at an angle to direction of the load travel:
F = T x sin A
T = Total cylinder force, in pounds
F = Part of the force which is effective, in pounds
A = Least angle, in degrees, between cylinder axis and
load direction.






 




Moment Arm Equations / Levers:
F x Df = W x Dw
w
F = W x Dw ÷ Df
 
W = F x Df ÷ Dw
Df = W ÷ F x Dw
Dw = F ÷ W x Df
F = Cylinder force
Df = Cylinder force distance to pivot W = Weight or Load Force
Dw = Weight or Load Force distance to pivot Toggle Force:
T = F x A ÷ 2 x B
T = Toggle Force F = Cylinder Force
A = Distance cylinder centerline to toggle B = Remaining stroke






 




Force for piercing or shearing sheet metal: F = P x T x PSI
F = Force required, in pounds
P = Perimeter around area to be sheared, in inches T = Sheet thickness in inches
PSI = Sheer strength rating of the material in pounds
          per square inch.
P.O. Check Application:
Release PSI = Cap End Area x Max. W.P. - Load                                     Rod End Area
Max. W.P. = Pressure Rating of Components
Ratio = Max Working PSI                Release PSI

Example;
2 to 1 Ratio = 1 square inch (in2) at 1000 psi working pressure will open when a Release pressure of 500 psi is applied to a 2 square inches (in2) area.
