Engineering ReviewPreliminary review only — final engineering verification required
Basic Geometry
Checked
Positive dimensions confirmed; rod diameter is less than bore diameter.
Port Standard / Size
Checked
Port standard and size designation are internally consistent.
Port Position
Checked
Standard Position 1 is selected.
Pressure Rating
Not Checked
Entered system pressure has not been checked against a verified cylinder pressure rating.
Port Machining Feasibility
Not Checked
Must be confirmed against bore size and final head/cap construction.
Mounting
Review Required
Selected mounting must be verified against load direction, alignment and machine structure.
Rod Buckling
Not Checked
Rod buckling was not evaluated; compression load, column length and end condition are required.
Buckling Screening Inputs
mm
Defaults to the entered rod diameter. Reduce this value if a smaller threaded or turned-down section governs the compression column.
kN
Use the actual compressive load when known. The theoretical extension force is not automatically treated as the application load.
mm
GPa
210 GPa (about 30.46 Mpsi) is a common steel reference value. Confirm actual rod material before final engineering approval.
Speed / Flow
Not Checked
Required cylinder speed and flow were not provided.
Seal / Fluid Compatibility
Not Checked
Working fluid and complete temperature range were not provided.
For preliminary selection and engineering review only. Final specifications must be verified before manufacture or installation.
