Hello All,
I am building a project where I am looking to have a pnuematic cylinder mounted underneath a ramp and push up a gate that is hinged, to 90 degrees, however I am struggling on how to get this to properly function. From center to center of the 2 clevis mounting holes, on the cylinder, is 15 3/8" (in the closed position). The cylinder has a 7" stroke, therefore in the open position, from center to center of the clevis mounting holes is 22 3/8". I am not sure where the cylinder needs to be mounted underneath in order for the hinged gate to be pushed up to a 90 degree, at a full stoke and parallel when fully retracted.
I have pictures of what I am trying to accomplish but it is 10MB in size so I am not able to upload it. Pictures are woth a thousand words :-) If you think you can assist me, I will be more than happy to send you the pictures (6 in total)
Thanks
Gary
