That is more what I was looking for, thanks!
About the cylinder mid position point - We use that mid value when the cylinder will be in that range during operation, this one will not. It will always be extended during operation. Doing that calc will give a natural frequency at end of stroke...
It is metal on metal.
Thanks desertfox, that is not what I was expecting - I apologize if I am missing something, but the old link was to a google doc, not roymech, and (I think) was specifically about preload?
Well, really what I am trying to determine is the natural frequency of a hydraulic cylinder by treating it as a simple spring mass system (the cylinder is the spring, the mass is the load the cylinder is holding in place). The calculation we typically use treats the fluid in the cylinder as two...
