How much force do you REALLY get?

I knew that the students on our team really understood what FIRST was all about when, two years later, our unofficial team motto changed from "we want to BEAT Chief Delphi" to "we want to BE Chief Delphi." - dlavery [more]

Re: How much force do you REALLY get?

A very simple jig to get some accurate results is to make a 'dead lift' system using those muscle man weights as the load.

Set the cylinder either vertical or horizontal with a pulley.

Just a word of caution. Releasing the load back down will always be very fast unless you are using flow controls. Make sure you are using very strong cording as the tension/shock loads can be very high.
