Not side by side. facing one another. The people on the general physics forum say 300 tons.

Many thanks. Guess I'm building a 600 ton cylinder.

So the force applied to a cylinder placed between two 300 ton cylinders is 300 tons. Correct?

I figured the yield and square inches of my press frame. The yield is 636 tons. The tensil is much higher. 1018 cold finish flat bar. 53700psi yield. I get 50/50 answers from everyone I talk to. Half say 300 tons because the cylinders cancel each other out. I realize that if one cylinder...

I would really appreciate any help I could get. I was wanting to start on this in the morning buy I am perplexed. I'm sure the answer and explanation are simple and that I am over thinking this. But I do need help

Really would appreciate any help I could get.

hydraulic tonnage question Help I have a small machine shop. I need to build a 600 ton press. I have a 300 ton press now. Can I simply add a 300 ton cylinder to the other end of my existing press and get 600 tons on an object in the middle or is tonnage not additive?

Hi guys I have a question I need answered. I have a small machine shop and I need to build a press that will apply 600 tons of force to an object. Can I have one 300 ton cylinder on each end of the object? Or is this tonnage not additive.
