Re: Cylinder Force Calculation
a smaller diameter cylinder will fill up faster, but it will have less force on its pushrod. The force a cylinder generates is equal to the surface area of its internal; piston plate times the pressure of the air you feed it with.
So, yes, a smaller diameter cylinder will pressurize faster, but the trade-off is less output force. Is there some reason why you dont want to implement the release-trigger like I drew in the diagram? its probably the easiest way to make a pneumatic shooter. |
