Howdy all,
I'm designing tooling to test a hydraulic servo actuator. To actuate/measure the position I have a .156 rod extending out of the pressure enclosure. But at 3000 psi, this rod is still going to experience 50 lbs of force. I had originally designed it with the actuation separate from the measurement so the pressure wasn't a problem, but I can simplify my design if I can do them both using the same rod all in line with the servo. Is there a standard solution to eliminating the hydraulic pressure on an actuating rod?
Thanks,

Remember, first define the problem, then solve it.
