Re: Stroke Length
Doesn't the flow rate (m3/s) come into this?? ■
Air Cylinder Movement
Hi goodisme,
The bore size gives you an area A mm2.
The pressure P = N/mm2, times area A gives you the force acting.
The air flow rate, or discharge rate gives you the length of time needed to empty the volume, although strictly there is a pressure volume P X V thing happening, so it's not a linear relationship.
The stroke length would give you volume. There is not enough information to calculate the stroke - only to take a guess based on the time taken to empty the volume.

Stroke length
please help me with the calculation of the stroke length of a double acting reciprocating air compressor of known bore, pressure and discharge.and you can also show me other ways out. ■
