Thanks everyone, i've got it now. All I have to do is figure out how to defy the Laws of Physics. you see, what I was trying to do is have a high pressure side of the accumulator and a low pressure side of the accumulator. my thought was if i extended the cylinder vertically, by opening a...
i'm designing a very basic form of a pneumatic system which involves a telescoping cylinder with a pressurized air chamber acting as an accumulator. what i'm having trouble figuring out is how much pressure to charge the accumulator with to extend the cylinder and hold it. i want to keep the...
can anyone help me calculate the force required to tip over a tripod. i have a pole that is supported by a tripod and i need to determine how much wind force is required to tip the tripod over. thanks ahead of time.
we've designed a cylinder that has a position sensor on the extend side. the sensor uses a magnetic field to engage the switch. we tested the cylinder and got some screwy results. after some extensive analysis, we finally realized, our rod is stainless steel. Oops. my question is, does...
The flow rate setting on my DCV is 30 GPM. The DCV controls a 4 stage telescoping cylinder. I'm trying to determine the discharge flow coming from the rod end when the cylinder is extending. i thought it was a simple velocity/cross sectional area. but i'm getting a discharge value that...
I have a hydraulic cylinder with an accumulator that is pressurized with nitrogen. Does anyone know what the appropriate setting for a relief valve that is going in the accumulator. i know the accepted setting for hydraulic relief valves are around 10% over MAWP. Do pneumatic relief valves...
i'm trying to determine the correct setting for my Direct Acting Pressure Relief Valve. this is a hydraulic system which i know the accepted setting is 10% over MAWP. However, the valve in question is in an accumulator pressurized with nitrogen. i need to know if pneumatic relief valves have...
