I need an axial force of 180 lbs. Now, I have a 2-inch bore piston in the cylinder. Therefore, it will generate roughly 60 PSI correct? - Pressure = force x area of bore.
I just need the cylinder to have 1 stroke extension, and 1 stroke back to it's initial position. With that down, I think I have a basic idea of what solenoid I need, but am still unsure of one thing. My cylinder is a double-acting cylinder, so it will require pressure to extend, and to retract, correct? In conclusion, I here is the SMC part number I came up with: SYJ5120-5G-C4-F. I am still trying to do my research on 2-position single/double and the 3-position closed/exhaust/center. I think I will need a 2 position single valve though, but just wanted to verify so I don't screw up.
Thanks for helping me, a rookie rookie, out. greatly appreciated!!!
