Hydraulic Cylinder Bore, Rod Diameter and Stroke Explained
Bore, piston rod diameter, and stroke describe different but interacting parts of hydraulic-cylinder behavior. Bore establishes the full piston area and strongly affects force...

Hydraulic Cylinder Speed and Flow Calculation
Ideal hydraulic cylinder speed is determined by chamber flow divided by the effective area being filled. Extension speed uses the full piston area; retraction...
Hydraulic Cylinder Force Calculation
Hydraulic cylinder force is calculated from chamber pressure acting on the corresponding effective area. For a single-rod cylinder, extension uses the full piston area...
Hydraulic Cylinder Components and Construction
A hydraulic cylinder is a pressure-containing linear actuator built around a cylinder tube or barrel, piston, piston rod, rod-end closure, blind-end closure, sealing system,...
How Does a Hydraulic Cylinder Work
A hydraulic cylinder is a linear actuator that converts hydraulic energy into axial force and motion. Chamber pressure acting on the corresponding effective area...
