Five critical calculations when selecting a cylinder

18 June 2026 · Mühendislik ekibi

Cylinder selection starts with the load case and ends with the mounting geometry. A common mistake is choosing the bore before correcting the buckling length for the mounting type.

1. Load and bore

Evaluate working pressure using peak pressure, not the continuous system pressure.

2. Buckling

In the Euler calculation the free length is multiplied by a factor between 0.5 and 2 depending on mounting.
