Define the Load and Motion<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Record the load, direction of movement, stroke, required speed, acceleration and cycle frequency. Include linkage geometry because the cylinder force may not act directly on the load.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Estimate Bore from Force and Pressure<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use the required force and available system pressure to estimate piston area, then select a practical bore with appropriate allowance for losses and application safety factors.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Check Rod Diameter and Buckling<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Long strokes under compression can create buckling risk. Rod diameter, unsupported length, mounting condition and load alignment must be reviewed together.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Confirm Flow and Speed<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Required flow depends on effective area and target speed. Extension and retraction speeds can differ because the effective areas differ.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.
