7.3 Hydraulic Cylinders

Analyze actuator forces and pressure loads

Standards catalog

Validation: indicative · Method band: formula

Indicative method: Indicative closed-form or numerical model

Linear elastic material behavior unless noted otherwise.
User is responsible for load combinations and load factors per the selected design code.

Does not replace a licensed professional engineer or official code compliance review.

Purpose: Double-acting cylinder forces, fluid volume, rod stress.

Method: Closed-form

F_{e x t} = p A_{p i s t o n}, F_{r e t} = p (A_{p i s t o n} - A_{r o d})

UI: Legacy layout; unit profile.

Gaps: No seal friction, buckling on rod, or cushioning.

Maintainer note: Primarily equation-driven actuator calculations.
