Thank you … truly appreciated the warm welcoming into this community

Thank you ... May i also ask does a vertical gate same size under the same frictional forces and a radial gate same size same fricional forces have the same PULLING and PUSHING FORCE? ...i ask this because i was comparing the results for pulling and pushing forces of my system and the one that...

Sorry forgot Maximum operating pressure = 75 bars

Thank you Mr Baluncore The Gate is radial with a skin plate bent to a radius of 13.5m height 7.8 length 6m the gate is hinged on pins (specifically trunnions) , its moved by 1 double acting hydraulic cylinder using oil from 1 pump . Gate is attached to a suspension bar that consequently...

am currently designing a servo motors for a spillway gate for a dam , I have some doubts on how to determine the pushing force( the force needed to drop the spillway gate at a safe rate) for a piston carrying a heavy load of 275tons at a speed of 0.4447 m/min(this speed was pre-determined by me...
