Need help determine force from cylinder linkage

AI Thread Summary
To determine the downward force of a rod from a cylinder pressure and mechanical linkage, it's essential to analyze the system using linkages, vectors, and moments. Calculating moments about the pivot is a valid approach, but accurate results depend on detailed information about the linkage's centers of mass, lengths between pins, and coordinates of fixed points. The force transfer function will change based on the mechanism's attitude. The goal is to express the bucket downforce as a function of hydraulic pressure. Accurate calculations require precise measurements and a clear understanding of the mechanical setup.

How can I determine the downward force of the rod with the given cylinder pressure and mechanical linkage? Do I sum my moments about the pivot? I calculated M=950xCOS(75.732)x7.81 + (X)SIN(63.414)x9.4 which resulted in 1828lbs. I get 217 lbs which does not seem right.

Welcome to PF.

What a confusing picture.
If that is an auto-leveling front-end-loader mechanism, I would solve it using linkages with vectors and moments. To do that, I would need details of the linkage centers-of-mass, lengths between pins, and the coordinates of all fixed point pins on the loader frame.
The force transfer function will vary depending on the attitude of the mechanism.
The aim would be to find the bucket downforce as a function of hydraulic pressure.
 
Thread 'What type of toilet do I have?'

Thread 'What type of toilet do I have?'

I was enrolled in an online plumbing course at Stratford University. My plumbing textbook lists four types of residential toilets: 1# upflush toilets 2# pressure assisted toilets 3# gravity-fed, rim jet toilets and 4# gravity-fed, siphon-jet toilets. I know my toilet is not an upflush toilet because my toilet is not below the sewage line, and my toilet does not have a grinder and a pump next to it to propel waste upwards. I am about 99% sure that my toilet is not a pressure assisted...

Thread 'Thread No-Go plug gage allows 3 turns to enter. That's too many!'

After over 25 years of engineering, designing and analyzing bolted joints, I just learned this little fact. According to ASME B1.2, Gages and Gaging for Unified Inch Screw Threads: "The no-go gage should not pass over more than three complete turns when inserted into the internal thread of the product. " 3 turns seems like way to much. I have some really critical nuts that are of standard geometry (5/8"-11 UNC 3B) and have about 4.5 threads when you account for the chamfers on either...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
