Quick calc overall length of a welded hydraulic cylinder

Quick calc overall length of a welded hydraulic cylinder

Quick calc overall length of a welded hydraulic cylinder

(OP)
Would someone please share how to get the general length of a welded hydraulic cylinder. Someone told me it years ago and now I need it. Basically what I am after is what is the general body length including the over-head (piston, end cap, gland, etc). It doesn't have to be exact but I'm trying to get general dimensions for the collapsed length and extended length.

I recall it was something like: Stroke + ( 10% x Max Working Pressure) or something like that.



RE: Quick calc overall length of a welded hydraulic cylinder

I don't think any rule of thumb would be very accurate. It depends on bore size, end connections, stop tube if any, and teh mfrs methods of construction.

Pick a vendor page of dimensions on the inet for a closer approximation.

We use Aggressive Hydraulics for all welded cylinders.

A lot has changed since the 90s. You don't surf the Web using dial-up anymore, so why are you still using a legacy PLM solution that's blocking your ability to innovate? To develop and launch products today, you need a flexible, cloud-based PLM, not a solution that's stuck in the past. Download Now
White Paper - Using Virtualization for IVI and AUTOSAR Consolidation on an ECU
Current approaches used to tackle the complexities of a vehicle’s electrical and electronics (E/E) architecture are both cost prohibitive and lacking in performance. Utilizing virtualization in automotive software architecture provides a better approach. This can be achieved by encapsulating different heterogeneous automotive platforms inside virtual machines running on the same hardware. Download Now
