Configuring the hydraulics

Cylinder selection
Piston and rod diameters
The piston and rod diameters are calculated according to Pascal's theorem on the basis of
the necessary compressive and tensile forces F and a standard pressure value of
p = 40 bis 100 bar for machine tools (a maximum pressure of 350 bar is permitted).
The force value calculation must include friction and acceleration forces as well as the actual
feed force. Pistons and rods with the following standard diameter dimensions are available:

The stroke is identical to the working stroke of the drive except that it includes a few
additional safety reserves.
