AI Thread Summary
To lift 200 lbs with a 10-bar air compressor, a double-acting pneumatic cylinder with a piston diameter of approximately 1.5 inches is required, calculated using the formula Area = Force / Pressure. The area needed for the piston is 1.379 square inches. The stroke length should be between 1 to 3 inches, depending on the desired lift height. For a project on an air-compressed vehicle, understanding these calculations is crucial for effective design. This information provides a solid foundation for selecting the appropriate pneumatic cylinder.

Hi :)

What size of double act pneumatic cylinder I need to lift 200 Lbs. of weight, if I have got 10 bars air compressor!

All I need for a short stroke 1-3" maximum!

Any special formula or calculations for that!

Thank you,

Force = Pressure X Area
 
Now I am in final year of engineering. I wanted to do a project on air compressed vehicle ( want to run the vehicle using pneumatic energy ). Any suggestions would be more helpful to me. Advance thanks to whom are ready to share their views :)
 
Find out the area of piston to decide the cylinder size..
Area = Force / Pressure = 200/ 145 = 1.379 sq. inch

You need a pneumatic cylinder with a piston dia of 1.5 inch considering the FOS.

Your stroke depends on the height you want to lift your mass.

Hope it will help

Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet'

I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
