Pneumatic Cylinder Design Calculations

This document calculates the design specifications for a pneumatic cylinder. It determines that a 40mm bore diameter cylinder is needed to exert a force of 40N at a pressure of 0.4x105 N/m2. For the forward stroke, this cylinder can exert a force of 50N. For the return stroke, the reduced piston area means the cylinder can exert 42.2N of force.

DESIGN CALCULATION

Force to be exerted is 40N Force Pressure in the cylinder = pressure x area = 0.4 x 105 N/m2

Area of the piston, (pd2)/4 = Force/pressure = 40/40000 = 0.001m2 Bore diameter = 0.0356m = 35.6mm

From Janatics pneumatic products catalogue we have selected 40mm bore diameter cylinder.

For forward stroke For 40mm bore diameter Corresponding rod diameter = 16mm Area of the piston = (pd2)/4 = (p x 402)/4 =1256.8mm2 Force (modified) to be exerted = pressure x area = 0.4x 105 x 1256.8 =50N

For return stroke On the return stroke, when the pressure is applied to the reverse direction, the force on the piston due to the pressure is = P x (A-a) Where, P = Pressure in the cylinder (N/m2) A = Area of the piston (m2) a = Cross sectional area of the piston rod (m2) Therefore Area of the piston (A-a) = {(p x d2)/4} {(p x d12)/4} = {(p x 402)/4} {(p x 162)/4} = 1256.6 201 = 1055 mm2 Force to be converted on the Reverse direction = pressure x area = 0.4 x105 x1055 = 42.2N For working pressure of 0.4x105 N/m2 Extending force Retracting force =50.3N = 42.2N
