Loads, forces and moments

The choice of cylinder is determined by:
● The permissible loads, forces and moments.
● The end-cushioning capacity of the cylinder.
The main factors here are the mass to be buffered and the piston speed at the start of buffering. (Unless an external buffer is used, such as a hydraulic buffer)

The figure beside shows the maximum value under light load and vibration-free operation, which should not be exceeded even in dynamic conditions. The compliance and torque data are based on a speed of V≤0.5m/s.

When calculating the forces acting on the bearing, it is essential to take into account the occurrence of friction, depending on the specific application and load.

The bending moment is calculated at the midpoint of the linear cylinder, F is the actual force.

*A rubber (non-adjustable) is used at the end of the buffer.
In order for the piston to reach the end fully, the deformation of the buffer rubber needs to be variable by 4 bar!

Buffer Chart

Calculate the expected moving mass, read the maximum permissible velocity at the start of buffering, then take the desired velocity and mass to find the required cylinder size.

Note that the piston speed at the beginning of buffering is significantly higher than the average speed. This is a decisive factor in selecting the cylinder. If the maximum value exceeds the expected value, an additional shock absorber should be used.

If this is outside the permitted range, you have not installed additional cushioning absorbers and you cannot refer to our special cushioning system information--we would be happy to give you some advice on special applications.

*For cylinders with linear guides or brakes, please take the mass of the slide or brake into account.

Middle support

To avoid excessive bending and vibration of the cylinder, the middle support should be used according to the specific stroke length and actual load. The diagram shows the maximum possible support spacing under load, and the maximum bending of the support member is 0.5mm. The middle support is clamped in the cylinder dovetail groove and can withstand axial forces.

Allowable support spacing: OSP-P10-P32		Allowable support spacing: OSP-P40-P80
