Highlights

Double-acting, single-acting and telescopic cylinders, hydraulic or pneumatic
Barrel hoop stress against the allowable, with the required wall thickness
Rod column buckling with a pass/fail margin, and bending under a lateral load
Orifice pressure drop, piston velocity and kinetic energy for cushioning
Animated stroke with displacement and force plots; save inputs on your computer or in your cloud

A question it answers

Do I have enough push force at 160 bar with an 80 mm bore, and is the 40 mm rod safe against buckling over a 500 mm stroke?

What you put in

Fluid type (hydraulic or pneumatic), cylinder type (double-acting, single-acting, telescopic), bore and rod diameter, stroke, wall thickness, material, safety factor, working and back pressure, flow rate, lateral load, orifice diameter and discharge coefficient, cushioning length.

What you get

Push and pull force with effective areas, hoop stress and the required wall thickness, critical buckling load with a pass/fail margin, bending stress, orifice pressure drop, piston velocity and kinetic energy, a stress comparison chart, an animated stroke with displacement and force plots, and JSON, FMI model-description and reduced-order-model exports.
