That would put us on track—a nice clear section and some design rules. Yes, the Wikipedia article gave me that old circular feeling too.
A Swedish uni page has one interesting section (p7) that compares constant-thrust and regular telescopics...
Hi Mike, yes that's what I thought (surprised at the scarcity of info). Thanks for the link; I did see that one as I did the rounds in my original searches (before posting here).
I'm also surprised to see that most of what little traffic there is on this topic involves issues of novel design...
No, I'm not talking about solving for cylinder velocity or any other parameter. This is a particular TYPE of hydraulic cylinder called a constant-velocity telescopic cylinder (or, obviously, any similar or equivalent name). It is called that because a normal telescopic cylinder extends and...
I am having difficulty finding good-quality resources that explain the workings of constant-velocity telescopic hydraulic cylinders. I need to develop some understanding, not just learn to copy a mysterious schematic. This doesn't need to go into great depth, but must account in some detail for...
