Do you know the area of the end of the piston?If I know that the peak cylinder pressure is 175 bar, how do I calculate the load (in Newtons) on the piston?
The force exerted by a cylinder is directly proportional to the pressure inside the cylinder. This means that the higher the pressure, the greater the force that is produced.
The formula for calculating force from cylinder pressure is Force = Pressure x Area. This means that the force is equal to the pressure exerted on the surface area of the cylinder.
Yes, the size of the cylinder does affect the force produced from the pressure. A larger surface area will result in a greater force, while a smaller surface area will result in a smaller force, even with the same pressure.
The unit of measurement for cylinder pressure is usually pounds per square inch (psi) or newtons per square meter (N/m^2). Force is typically measured in pounds (lbs) or newtons (N).
The temperature of the cylinder can affect the pressure and force by changing the volume and density of the gas inside. As the temperature increases, the pressure and force will also increase, and vice versa.
