Roundline Industrial cylinders

The selection of a piston rod for thrust (push) conditionsrequires the following steps to be carried out.1.Determine the type of cylinder mounting style and rod endconnection to be used. Consult the Stroke Factor Selection table on page 16 and determine which factor corresponds to the application.2.Using the stroke factor, determine the 'basic length'from the equation:Basic Length = Actual (net) Stroke x Stroke Factor(The Piston Rod Selection Chart, below, applies to pistonrods with standard rod extensions beyond the face of the gland retainer. For rod extensions greater than standard, add the increase to the stroke to arrive at the 'basic length'.)3.Find the load imposed for the thrust application bymultiplying the full bore area of the cylinder by the system pressure, or by referring to the Push and Pull Force charts on page 14.4.Using the Piston Rod Selection Chart, below, look alongthe values for 'basic length' and 'thrust' as found in 2. and 3. above, and note the point of intersection.The correct piston rod size is read from the diagonally curvedline labelled 'Rod Diameter' above the point of intersection. When considering the use of long stroke cylinders, the piston rod should be of sufficient diameter to provide the necessary column strength.For tension (pull) loads, the rod size is selected by specifyingstandard cylinders with standard rod diameters, and using them at or below the rated pressure.For long stroke cylinders under compressive loads, the use ofstop tubes should be considered, to reduce industrial bearing stress. Selection of a stop tube is described on page 16.
