We'll work through a couple of examples using the equations provided in the handouts distributed in Week #9 as well as look at some practical considerations for Pneumatic & Hydraulic Cylinder selection. When doing various conversions, remember that sites like OnlineConversion.com can be very helpful. Or, you can always do it the long with with tables & a calculator.
Time permitting. we will then revisit Week #7 on Pneumatic Components.
The pics below are from the example worked on in class today. Your Homework Assignment for next week (April 5th) is to do the same calculations for the Retraction of the piston. We will continue these calculations in that class.
