AI Thread Summary
To calculate the hydraulic pump area for lifting a car with a 50:1 load ratio, the user has determined a force of approximately 500N applied through a 120mm lever, resulting in a lifting load of 25,000N. The user aims for a compact design, limiting the diameter ratio between the two cylinders. They have calculated the stroke of the larger cylinder to be 100mm, requiring the smaller cylinder to have a 50x stroke to achieve this displacement. The challenge lies in determining the areas of both cylinders, as the area of the larger cylinder becomes excessively large compared to the smaller one. Assistance is sought to resolve the area calculations effectively.

Homework Statement


I want to calculate the areas of a hydraulic oil pump which will be used to lift a load(car). My load ratio is 50:1 and i want to transfer this power using a lever. I want the second piston to travel to max position on approximately 40 strokes. Also i want the ratio of the cylinders dimater not to be large because my design have to be compact.

Homework Equations


Here is the main formula Pressure=Force/area.

The Attempt at a Solution



I have calculated on both sides of the system my force ratio which is 50:1. The user of the pump can act on the system 400Newton approx and using a lever of a lever of 120mm will increase the input load to 500N. The lifting load is 25000N so 50:1 force ratio. I need some help to calculate the areas of the cylinders. I try to make an assumption for the small area cylinder but the large area cylinder become too large, 50x larger than the input. I am sure that it is an easy solution but as i am never done it again it is difficult for me. I have aslo calculate the stroke of the second cylinder=100mm. Therefore i have to calculate the area of two cylinders which i input 500N and by 50x strokes on the small cylinder i want to get 100mm piston displacement on the large one.
