Fundamental Cylinders
Standard Double-Acting
Power stroke is in both directions and is used in the majority of
applications.
Single-Acting
When thrust is needed in only one direction, a single-acting
cylinder may be used. The inactive end is vented to atmosphere
through a breather/filter for pneumatic applications, or vented to
reservoir below the oil level in hydraulic applications.
Double Rod
Used when equal displacement is needed on both sides of the
piston, or when it is mechanically advantageous to couple a
load to each end. The extra end can be used to mount cams for
operating limit switches, etc.
Spring Return, Single-Acting
Usually limited to very small, short stroke cylinders used for
holding and clamping. The length needed to contain the return
spring makes them undesirable when a long stroke is needed.
Ram Type, Single-Acting
Containing only one fluid chamber, this type of cylinder is usually
mounted vertically. The weight of the load retracts the cylinder.
They are sometimes known as “displacement cylinders”, and are
practical for long strokes.
Telescoping
Available with up to 4 or 5 sleeves; collapsed length is shorter
than standard cylinders. Available either as single or doubleacting, they are relatively expensive compared to standard
cylinders.
Tandem
A tandem cylinder is made up of two cylinders mounted in line with
pistons connected by a common piston rod and rod seals installed
between the cylinders to permit double acting operation of each.
Tandem cylinders allow increased output force when mounting
width or height are restricted.
Duplex
A duplex cylinder is made up of two cylinders mounted in line
with pistons not connected and with rod seals installed between
the cylinders to permit double acting operation of each. Cylinders
may be mounted with piston rod to piston (as shown) or back to
back and are generally used to provide three position operation.

The cylinder output forces are derived from the formula:
F=PXA
V1 = (P2 + 14.7)V2
14.7
F = Force in pounds
P = Pressure at the cylinder in pounds per sq. inch, gauge
A = Effective area of cylinder piston in sq. inches
Free air refers to normal atmospheric conditions of the air
at sea level (14.7 psi). Use cu. ft. free air required data (see
chart below) to compute CFM required from a compressor at
80 cu. ft. of free air required. Other pressures can be calculated using the information below.
V1 = Free air consumption per inch of stroke (cubic feet)
V2 = Cubic feet displaced per inch of stroke
P2 = Gauge pressure required to move maximum load

Cylinders
How to Select a Hydraulic Cylinder and Power Unit
Selection of the proper components for a hydraulic system is quite simple when you use the accompanying table and chart. Here is
an example to illustrate their use. Assume your requirements are: 20,000 lbs. of force, 28” stroke, and 7.5 seconds for full cylinder
extension.
Step One:
The table below shows a 3” diameter cylinder will develop
21,204 lbs. of force with 3000 psi pressure.
Step Three:
By continuing this line, it intersects 200 cubic inch
displacement.
Step Two:
A line has been drawn on the chart from 3” diameter through
28” stroke.
Step Four:
Another line drawn from 200 cubic inches through 7.5 seconds
intersects 7 GPM.

Your Answer:
Using this example, the chart and table show that your
components should be a 3” diameter 3000 psi cylinder and a
hydraulic power unit with approximately 7 GPM and 3000 psi
rating.
Theoretical horsepower for these values would be 12.25 HP.
However, since most applications usually require maximum
GPM and pressure for only a very short portion of each cycle,
the electric motor of the hydraulic power unit will usually be
considerably smaller (one half or less.)

Pumps
Electric Motor Horsepower
Required to Drive a Hydraulic Pump
This chart is based on the formula: HP =
GPM X psi
1714 X Efficiency
For the purposes of this chart, pump efficiency was assumed to be 85%.
As horsepower varies directly with flow or pressure, multiply proportionately to determine values not shown.
For instance, at 4000 psi, multiply 2000 psi values by 2.

Valves
How to Determine Proper Air Valve Size
Most manufacturers’ catalogs provide flow ratings for valves
in Cv, based on National Fluid Power Association (NFPA)
standard T3.21.3. The following tables and formulas will enable
you to quickly size a valve properly. The traditional, often used
approach of using the valve size equivalent to the port in the
cylinder can be very costly. Cylinder speed, not port size, should
be the determining factor.
Select a valve that has a Cv factor of .7 or higher. In most cases
a 1/4” valve would be sufficient.
The following Cv calculations are based upon simplified
formulas which yield results with acceptable accuracy under the
following standard condition:
After the minimum required Cv has been calculated, the proper
size valve can be selected from the catalog.
Table 1:
Air at a temperature of 68°F (20°C)
Absolute downstream or secondary pressure must be 53% of
absolute inlet or primary pressure or greater. Below 53%, the air
velocity may become sonic and the Cv formula does not apply.

It is considered good engineering practice to limit the pressure
drop Dp to approximately 10% of primary pressure P1. The
smaller the allowable pressure drop, the larger the required
valve will become.
