Hydraulic Cylinder Design
Hydraulic Cylinder Design
(OP)
All,
We are currently looking at designing a cylinder without the help from a cylinder manufacturer. The cylinder will be 3.3m long and have a capacity of around 10Te at about 200Bar. The cylinder will be trunnion mounted behind the end cap and clevis mounted at the rod end.
As you will imagine the design of the cylinder will driven more by buckling that rod / bore diameters.
Does anyone have an idea where I can get a spreadsheet, data sheet, or similar that I can design the cylinder myself taking into account all the parameters that a cylinder manufacturer would cater for?

As previously indicated, leaving some rod in the cylinder distributes the load, however you need to remember that cylinders as such are designed for linear loads and will not accept a great deal of sideloading, either on the rod or the mount configuration.

I am reluctant to lead cylinder manufacturers 'up the garden path' to supply a cylinder design that we no intentions of issuing a PO for.

Good luck

Point well made. Perhaps best I leave it to the people that know.
I would still be interesting in getting my hands on a spreadsheet, or similar, that the cylinder manufacturers use to determine rod / bore diameters. Specifically for buckling.
